Star Trek's untitled prequel movie needs Scott Bakula from Star Trek: Enterprise. Director Toby Haynes is mounting an Untitled Star Trek Origin movie for Paramount Pictures. Written by Seth Grahame-Smith, Haynes' Star Trek prequel is reportedly set "decades before" J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies, which would place it in Star Trek's Prime Timeline before the creation of Abrams' alternate Kelvin timeline. Star Trek's prequel movie is also said to be set mostly on Earth, with humanity dealing with aliens and the founding of the United Federation of Planets. This calls for Scott Bakula to return as Jonathan Archer. 2k2k2o

Scott Bakula explains the hook that got him to sign on to play Captain Jonathan Archer in Star Trek: Enterprise. Bakula headlined Enterprise ('Star Trek' wasn't added to the title until season 3) for four seasons on UPN. After Star Trek: Enterprise was canceled in 2005, Bakula continued his incredibly successful acting career, starring in Men of a Certain Age and NCIS: New Orleans. Bakula rarely discusses his experience as the Captain of the final Star Trek series of the Rick Berman era.

Scott Bakula returns to talk about Star Trek: Enterprise for the first time in years when he appears as a guest on The D-Con Chamber podcast on Sunday, August 11, at 11 am PST. The D-Con Chamber is hosted by Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating, who co-starred with Scott Bakula for four seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise. Bakula played Captain Jonathan Archer, while Trinneer portrayed Chief Engineer Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III and Keating embodied Armory Officer Lieutenant Malcolm Reed. The D-Con Chamber can be found on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Over two decades after the initial launch of Star Trek: Enterprise, the prequel series remains divisive among viewers. Airing on UPN between 2001 and 2005, Star Trek: Enterprise was the fifth series in the space-faring franchise and followed the adventures of Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) and the crew of the NX-01, the first Starship Enterprise. The series' prequel concept established the show a century before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series. Receiving mixed responses among audiences, the premise offering a novel originality but perhaps long-term predictability, Star Trek: Enterprise sadly couldn't match the ratings of its sister shows.

19 years after its cancelation, Star Trek: Enterprise has become an influential Star Trek series that now serves as the canonical springboard for all of Star Trek that follows. A prequel set in the 22nd century, Enterprise was the fifth Star Trek TV series and the last of the era of Star Trek produced by Rick Berman that launched with Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987. Enterprise was the only show of the TNG era to last 4 seasons and its cancelation in 2005 marked the end of Star Trek on TV for 12 years. However, the prequel co-created by Berman and Brannon Braga has since earned new irers in the last two decades and the Star Trek franchise has recontextualized Enterprise's greater importance.

Star Trek: Enterprise was canceled by UPN Network after season 4, but plans were in place as to what Enterprise season 5 would have been about. Created by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, Enterprise aired on UPN from 2001-2005, bowing out as the only Star Trek series produced by Berman not to run 7 seasons. This has caused fans to protest both at Paramount Studios and online forums with diehards even fundraising money so that the series can have one last go for a fitting finale. However, the campaign to save Star Trek: Enterprise ultimately failed even with a whopping $32 million worth of donations.

Star Trek: Enterprise introduced a host of new characters who would become pivotal players in Star Trek's 22nd century. The 4th Star Trek show developed by executive producer Rick Berman, the series was originally titled simply Enterprise in its first two seasons,and it was a prequel set a century before Star Trek: The Original Series. By season 3, the show was retitled Star Trek: Enterprise, but despite a creative shakeup and a more serialized format, the series delivered dwindling ratings for the UPN Network and was canceled after season 4 in 2005.

Scott Bakula toplined Star Trek: Enterprise as Captain Jonathan Archer, boldly leading the initially unseasoned crew of the Enterprise NX-01 over four space-faring seasons. Designed as a prequel to Star Trek:The Original Series, Enterprise, unfortunately, suffered from bad timing, network meddling, controversial creative choices, and was ultimately canceled in 2005 after just four years. Enterprise has seen a steady swell in fan since the cancelation, with increasing calls for a return to the show’s cast and characters. But, despite Captain Archer’s strengths, complexities, and accomplishments – including a post-Enterprise stint as President of the United Federation of Planets – Scott Bakula remains the live-action Star Trek lead with the shortest tenure.
