Seems our buddy Daniels is making an appearance in the latest blog. With all the temporal goings-on we have been having Im surprised he waited this long to show up

Edit: not a complaint I rather liked his character

    Lol jeffrey coombs in any number of roles he had so many (and mainline roles to boot). Shran being the best of course

    I would say there's no chance of Bacula. But the rest is definitely possible. Shran support craft to replace the deltas and pirates. Please make it so. Now we're even pinkskin.

    He could do voice recording between making NCIS: New Orleans episodes.
    But I guess it all depends on if the price is right for both parties involved.

    What? Don't want a feddie ship hogging instances and pushing Scimitars (and most other Rommie vessels BTW) out of interact range? :tongue:
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    Most Trek actors we got for voice over roles are not really A-list or aren't that busy atm. With the notable exception of Jeri Ryan, who can be seen quite regularly in high profile shows. Cryptic would probably need to sell Neverwinter to get the Shat. B)

    He gets paid well for his priceline gig. I don't think the issue would be the coin... it would be the Shat wanting Creative control. Wait hold on, Cryptics writers are terribad. Hiring the Shat would be a win win he'd do the writing for free and it would have to be better then what the Cryptic kids come up with.

    @dareau - do you realise just how big the Enterprise-J is suppose to be? That thing would easily dwarf DS9 several times over. Think Stargate Atlantis. ;)

    @qjunior - Let's leave Shatner the hell alone. Guy has ego the size of the Herald fleet. He's a has been. On top of that, as already suggested, he'd cost too much.

    @valoreah - I disagree. I thought ST:Enterprise is a truer example of what space exploration would be like for us. It was dark, gritty, none of this utopian rubbish. It didn't take off because a lot of fans wanted a continuation rather than a prequel so stupidly boycotted. Same thing happened with SG:Universe, fans are the reason these shows lost out. People just can't accept change.

    Great. :| Now all I can hope for is a short-lived arc so we can get back to something better than that which really was the doom of ST:Ent from the start.

    The shat?

    So that's where that variation of another 'S' word came from? Can't believe I never noticed that... lol

    I rather liked the cold war arc actually. It was specific BS like that God-awful-should-have-been-flushed-down-a-urinal borg episode that made me want to drop-kick a kitten. :s

    I agree, Enterprise was good but along with many other things people are fickle creatures of habit that prefer to have the same boring TRIBBLE rehashed repeatedly to absolute exhaustion. One need look no further than their local movie theater to see that. SGU I may slightly disagree on as I believe it took everything that made Stargate amazing and tossed it in the trash becoming another generic drama. I liked Stargate because it never took itself too seriously and was always more fun and lighthearted than other big name science fiction franchises. That's not to say SGU wasn't good it just didn't feel Stargate enough. Enterprise being a prequel however, it had a reason for the difference in tone.

    The temporal cold war was an interesting idea even if the execution may have been somewhat convoluted. Ofcourse they didn't get any time to expand upon it so I reserve judgement. On the other hand, the Xindi arc and Indeed the Xindi themselves are among the best things ever written in the entire franchise. Story arcs are generally avoided by Star Trek which is part of what makes it unique among science fiction shows but I think they add a nice element, especially if you want a bit of extra drama. The entire thing just feels more realistic and relatable then Gene Roddenberry's BS utopia nonsense.

    Pretty sure the show got cancelled because it stunk on ice. That whole temporal cold war arc was among, if not the worst story arcs in all of Star Trek, if not all of science fiction.​​
    We're at an impasse then, because I thought it opened up a lot of doors, for a lot of potential. If you want to talk bad story arc, how about a ship that can survive all on it's lonesome in a distant part of the galaxy for seven whole years with an invisible shuttle bay and use more torpedos than it launched with.

    I certainly would love to have the money Shatner has for being a "has been".​​
    I wouldn't mind the cash either, but that doesn't change anything. He's still an egotistical has been.

    I agree with all but the J...I don't want anything to do with that giant flying saucer with little twig nacelles.

    Sorta off topic...but Universe was so slow to start...and while SG1 and Atlantis had some sexual tension and such...they didn't resort to sex every other episode to try and attract younger viewers like Universe did...also resorted to the lowest common denominator every chance they got to make sure EVERYONE knew the asian woman was a TRIBBLE...to either attract TRIBBLE viewers or young guys who want to see two women kiss.

    Back on topic, Enterprise wasn't so bad...it was just all over the place and breaking canon in some spots...facts like the Borg and the Ferengi...the WW2 arc was also quite odd...especially when there were basically Federation time Police around to prevent such things...

    With next year being the 50th. Adding Daniels would be a great way of using TOS and ENT characters. Bakula said he would do a 58th Ent season so I'm hopeful he will do some VO for STO. Koening, Bakula, Taki, Shatner, My list is full of hope lol
  • rahmkota19rahmkota19 Member Posts: 1,929 Arc User
    What I truly want Shatner to do is to give a bit of VO at the end of the Admirality system, telling us to go out there, where we mean something. That'd genuine be fun xD

    As to Enterprise: amazing series, aired at the wrong time. After continuous Star Trek since the eighties people were pretty much done. I feel Enterprise had an amazing potential, which was cut short. It had epic arcs and very good episodes. I even felt it didn't have the slow start DS9 had. But it aired at the wrong time for people to still want to watch Trek weekly.

    "Enterprise" had it's good episodes here and there. But it was horribly inconsistent, and had too many bad episodes overshadowing the decent ones. Berman and Braga running the show, and writing many of the episodes, didn't help matters. It was almost as if they didn't freakin' care due to burnout and phoned in the scripts. Kudos to the actors who managed to do a decent job despite the TRIBBLE scripts they were handed more often than not.

    to be fair the same could be said of most of star trek. across all the series.


    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
  • deaftravis05deaftravis05 Member Posts: 4,885 Arc User
    Berman and Braga are what ruined Enterprise... not the cold war arc. The cold war arc had potential... and there were a few good ones there... they had potential to use it in a way to bring it into line with what we know of the 24th century...

    however this cold war has been hinted at and clearly foreshadowed in butterfly... if you're shocked by this, then either you weren't paying attention or you're clueless.
