Happened to notice that Scott Bakula's wikipedia page has an interesting tidbit on there...
2001–05
Star Trek: Enterprise
Captain Jonathan Archer

98 episodes / reprises role in video games Star Trek: Legacy and Star Trek Online

Is it a hoax? The truth? Or perhaps a Nemesis plot?

    I wouldn't trust it. It's more likely someone made a mistake.

    The information about STO was added on November 15, 2015. Since we haven't heard anything official in three and a half months, I'm assuming it's fake.

    I'd say [citation needed] on that.

    Actually, 10 Nov 2015, but I digress. I'd say it's probably fake since the person who made the edit left no source, or anything else. I'm also leaning in the direction of intentional fake. The guy who added it doesn't add things to Wikipedia often.

    I'll have to agree with this guy. While it is true Scott Bakula reprised his role as Archer for Star Trek Legacy (I happened to use a line from the game about Orion Slave Girls as my start up sound one time), we have no proof one way or the other if he's going to be in STO. I think it would be awesome, because we might get an NX bridge/interior and some Enterprise themed gear like the much requested Ent era MACO Uniform and maybe even a Phase Pistol and that MACO Phase Rifle that taunts us on ESD.

    Archer is my favorite star Trek captain because for me he always felt like he had the best attributes of the previous captains in sum.

    I’d love to see him in STO.

    Duchess in STO? Well, as fed captains our characters make some decisisons that are in the ballpark of Duchess' biggest blunders so he should fit right in...

    I've been suspecting for a while that they'd be doing some sort of epic time travel plotline for the 50th anniversary, and since most of their stories lately feature time travel related...I'm guessing my suspicions were well founded.
  • dracounguisdracounguis Member Posts: 5,358 Arc User
    He'd be the first 'primary' captain actor we'd get in STO, right? I kinda liked Archer. Wasn't crazy about the whole time-travel Xindi story arc that killed the series. Not sure if Scott Bakula hadn't been cast if the writers wouldn't have gone so insane about time travel since they were writing for the Quantum Leap guy.
  • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 58,660 Community Moderator
    I liked Archer too because he wasn't perfect.

    That would be rather awesome... I have a big soft spot for the ENT crew as they start out clueless and actually get to grow into a competent team; particularly Archer. I would honestly have thought Bakula was waaay out of Cryptic's price point though - he's one of the few Trek stars who is equally famous for other things.
  • apulseapulse Member Posts: 456 Arc User
    Since mr Bakula is fulltime hired on NCIS Orleans (?), I would not think so, mostly because of his TV schedule (Have a lead role in a TV show eats freetime) and the fact that he must be very expensive.

    However, with the new story arc of time travel, who knows, would be neat, thats for sure.
    The Nak'uhal (spell) episodes on ENT is one of my favorite of all time.

    Agreed. also it definitely felt easier to relate to Archer than some other captains.
    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Scott Bakula did a great job, despite what people will say. I loved him in the role, and would love to see him back!

    Naa, Patric is still my favorite, he is so peaceful in a way :)

    Anyway, It would be awesome if Bakula would reprise his Star trek ego.
    Cryptic is doing time travel, they can use any of the ENT crew for a neat episode if they want.
    Would be awesome over a VO from Dominic Keating.

    Eh, I like Scott Bakula and I mostly liked Archer. He may not be as expressive as Patrick Stewart or (ahem!) William Shatner, but there's something inherently likable about him. He has an everyman appeal that none of the other Star Trek captains have got.

    His voice is distinctive enough that we'd recognize him in a VO. That's all that matters, and it would be cool to see Archer in a STO time travel episode.
