Scott Bakula | Ep. 13

[@rupertludsbury2291]

Enterprise is one of the most underrated shows of all time

[@xlargetophat]

The writing wasn't that original

[@DenkyManner]

It was rated just right

[@ZulcanPrime]

I agree. I loved the series and I don't understand why some fans disliked the show. It was Star Trek from the beginning. I even liked the spacecraft NX 01 Enterprise.

[@PlanetEarth3141]

Absolutely. I loved it.

[@fredspekvet5875]

Agreed. enterprise was and is fantastic. in fact, I think all star trek series hold up extremely well, especially in these days.

[@ianmacfarlaine]

I notice that whenever Scott is interviewed and anyone compliments him about how much of a leader he was on set, he always looks really embarrassed and goes quiet. He is a class act.

[@theodorebenton2286]

@@ianmacfarlaine indeed a class act

[@edkwon]

And by all accounts, Scott Bakula, being the biggest name in the cast at the time, had little to no ego about his existing star power and proved to be a real leader and friend to the rest of the lesser known cast

[@ianmacfarlaine]

@@edkwon I think he remains the biggest name to have come into a Trek series to date. Sonequa and Jason Isaacs maybe..... Avery was known as Hawk, but I think Scott remains the biggie.

[@weightlifting_socialist]

Lavar Burton was a big name before TNG. Roots, Reading Rainbow, etc. It would surprise me if Scott Bakula wasn't more famous when he went into the Star Trek franchise since he had been in Quantum Leap and other shows. Either way, both of them were the most well known people going into their own Star Trek shows.

[@SG1Mitchell]

About 5 years ago I worked with a woman who was a regular extra for the first two years of the show. She told me that to the surprise of her and many others, Scott knew who all of the extras and lowliest crew members were. He would know what's going on in their lives and sit down at lunch with them etc. By contrast, Linda Park, who had pretty much come from obscurity to a series regular role, was incredibly full of herself and rude to people, sometimes sneering at them and not even responding if they "dared" speak to her. Most figured it would have been the other way around since Scott was already a well-known award-winning actor

[@aw3752]

It was a disgrace the way Paramount treated this series. It was a brilliant series with an amazing cast of stellar actors, fantastic scripts, stories and awesome production values. I loved every member of that crew. They deserved a full 7 years. It breaks my heart. But I love watching this podcast and seeing my old friends on a regular basis.

[@aw3752]

@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 It is a well known fact that the reason the series didn’t go longer is because the UPN channel was not a major network like the other national channels where the other Trek series aired. It was a strung together hodgepodge of stations which didn’t have near the same reach. The series was often bumped by stations for a local football game or other such nonsense. Had it aired on the same broadcast networks as TNG, DS9 and Voyager, Enterprise would have had the same audience reach and would have easily completed a 7 year run. This has been stated many times in interviews with cast, producers and Paramount executives who were running UPN at the time. It had noting to do with the quality of the series. It was a victim of an independent TV network experiment that failed to gain traction. Critics and fans consistently gave the series high marks for quality scripts, casting, production values and acting. It has found a vast new audience now on Paramount Plus and is more popular now than it ever was because everyone who wants to watch can actually see it. Unlike its first run.

[@pferreira1983]

@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 Season 4 was awesome though.

[@VoltesWithElias]

@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 My feeling is this show was caught at the beginning of the new wave of tv. Which had a higher expectation on return on investment and snappy intros for people with low attention spans than quality story telling. It was trying to be contemporary to fit in with television instead of doing what it did well. Tell good, philosophical stories.

[@rachelblack3816]

Fully agree. With only a few exceptions, it was a terrific series and it deserved better-- *ESPECIALLY* the final episode of 'Enterprise'.

[@pferreira1983]

@@rachelblack3816 It wasn't absolutely terrible but I can see how it could annoy people.

[@buzza9563]

I was totally, absolutely livid at the way so called "fans" mercilessly attacked this series. I loved it. I loved the time period, the crew casting, the SFX, most of the stories, everything. It was refreshing to see real issues that weren't fixed by realigning some Isolinear chips or re-configuring some damn thing. The Zindi story arc was brilliant. The power and influence of the Archer period came from it's leaders not an all powerful starship. I sure am glad I found this channel.

[@englishcyclist]

This is the one, Mr Scott Bakula at last! thank you for getting Archer back in the Captains chair for this special episode.

[@pwnmeisterage]

He's twenty years older now. So he's not a Captain anymore. Now he's an Admiral. (Hopefully not one of the evil insane Admirals with some kind of plan to "save the Federation" by starting a war with someone.)

[@exponents2046]

Met Scott at a Con. After a photo Op, crossed paths in a hallway. He stopped me, to follow up on what we quickly talked about during the Op. Just walked and talked for several minutes. Such a giving guy!

[@mrmiller74]

That's great to hear something like that. Some celebs can really devalue the convention experience by showing themselves to only be there for the money. Kind of devalues their star status when they're like that. Great to hear Scott wasn't one of them!

[@zzilly14]

I didn’t realize he did cons! Hope to meet him someday 💕

[@purefoldnz3070]

give us an Archer series like we had for Picard. Enterprise needs a proper send off

[@rickjohnston2667]

Absolutely! Or at least, have him guest star on an episode of Strange New Worlds! They missed the chance to have Shatner guest star on Enterprise. Hopefully, they (Paramount+) won't let history repeat itself.

[@rickjohnston2667]

After all, Spock (that is O.G. Spock Nimoy) guest starred on TNG in one of the best 2-parters in the entire franchise. The SNW writers can surely come up with something just as dynamic for Bakula to guest star as Archer.

[@a6am3mn0n]

Be careful what you wish for, We got 3 finales for TNG and only the first was good.

[@SuperDoggy99]

Enterprise was great ... still my favorite Star Trek series, and I'm an old guy who grew up with the original series. I still don't understand why it wasn't given more seasons. That fourth season, with the longer story arcs, was ahead of its time and showed how a Star Trek show could really "go deep" into the lore and history of the Star Trek universe.

[@cindyhill9091]

Totally agree -- but if you want a pretty comprehensive explanation about how the end of Enterprise came about, go seek out the ShuttlePod Show's episodes with Rick Berman. It's heart-breaking to hear; essentially it all came down to the fact that UPN was a humongous mistake.

[@edkwon]

I think Enterprise also had the unfortunate timing of general audiences fatiguing of the Trek franchise as well

[@greybeardcomics1196]

I would enjoy a new reunion show, was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t a few of these folks in Picard.

[@GoldtriggerDude]

@@greybeardcomics1196 It's as if they don't exist in the Trek universe. That's just wrong.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

As it happens I am just re-watching Enterprise and I have to say that the characters and acting are top notch. I recall being very unimpressed with the Temporal Cold War arc way back when the series was first broadcast but each time I have watched it through I have it enjoyed it more and more. Some great episodes in there and genuinely deeply emotional moments. As I type this I have the vid on pause and Dominic is in the camera eye. I just wanted to say that, being English, I was always delighted to see Lt. Reed on screen - having 'my' accent in a Star Trek show was a treat :D I was always a bit upset that the writers didn't develop him more - maybe that was what was in the pipeline for the three series we didn't get? :(

[@Greg_Kenzo]

Beautiful reunion. Dom's respect for Scott was truly moving. Enterprise is comfort food for me. So glad this happened.

[@jamiethomas18]

Enterprise was and still is an AMAZING series, the characters, the stories, the music, the art and production design, all superb. You should all be EXTREMELY proud of what you accomplished in those 4 seasons of 98 episodes. Thank you.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

Yeah. You should have heard the trekkies back then. It was the same then as it is now. Always dissing every aspect of the show, then it gets cancelled, then it becomes a pop icon, but far too late. It's always the same. I swear many people are so laser focused only on what they want to see, that they ruin the whole thing for everyone if it's not what they expected. I personally loved Enterprise, and I was steaming angry when they mellowed down the intro tune. The rock theme was perfect for the bold era.

This has to be the best interview so far, Enterprise should have had 7 years and it is by far my favourite Star Trek series. Watching Dom’s raw emotion at the start brought a tear to my eyes. If the rumoured prequel movie does happen then the enterprise team should be involved which would be a fantastic send of. This show as I always say is brilliant. 🍷🍷Ed from South Australia 🇦🇺🍷🍷

[@TekTrekgamer]

I am a life long Star Trek fan. I was 15 years old when Enterprise came on the air and I just loved every minute of it. I have been a Scott Bakula fan ever since. One thing that I have heard from everyone I know in the "biz" is that Scott is just a delight to work with. One of those guys who is a leader on the set, shakes everyone's hands at the beginning of the day and has to be shoed away from helping the grips for union reasons. I was hoping to see Scott appear on Shuttlepod and was absolutely delighted to turn my computer on to see that you got him on the new venture. What a great interview. Scott was his usual class act. Always giving credit where due. I wish it had been another hour. Great to see Scott doing well, healthy and just as awesome as ever. Thank you guys.

[@MoonLoner07305]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Scott Bakula is a true class act and one of the greats. It still infuriates me that the series didn't get the 7 years it deserved. The last 2 seasons in particular gave us some of the best Star Trek in the whole franchise.

[@StevenLove-x5x]

Enterprise has become one of my favorite shows. Thank you for Archer.

[@jaklinhyde]

Mr Bakula has been a hero of mine from Quantum Leap on.. Enterprise is a classic show.. What a Captain and crew. A legend and class act! Great interview and great interviewees. You can just feel the friendship, love and respect here.

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

Thank you for this gift of an interview🙏 When Dom got emotional introducing whom is absolute Sci Fi royalty, Scott Bakula, I got emotional too. I hold this man in such high estime for his gifts to our world of scifi. It was a joy to watch from the first minute to the last secnds. I said it on your previous incarnation of your show and I'll say it again. It was criminal that Enterprise got cancelled. I didnt believe it then, and still dont believe that the show was killed because of the fans. It had a higher fan base than current series of shows on tv now considered "hits" and I feel it was cancelled because of "economic demographics" in other words, money men in suits. I believe if the origial plan of basing the first season on Earth and actually building up the history of how the journey into the federation and our stepping out into the universe could have been glorious. In any case, Enterprise could, if allowed to continue, have explored this avenue and been a seven or eight season living being of a show. What could have been eh? I thank you for what you guys gave us, I thank you for this show so we can still see you all and listen to your words. Absolute respect🙏- Kenny

[@juliusadkinsx]

I could talk an hour for a hundred introductions I've had with star trek. I was a kid when Enterprise aired and my dad treated the show as life and death because Scott Bakula was the captain. Watching the series again while playing a new ps2 game, I wanted to say you're all the best,

[@LittleIAO]

Loved Enterprise and the whole cast. Guest stars, extras, and all. Criminally underrated installment of Trek. Always keen to catch up with what else everyone is up to as well.

[@iianneill6013]

I revisited Enterprise recently, watching from the beginning, and I couldn't believe how well written and performed it all was, particularly in Season 3 with the Xindi arc. At that point, I think it was some of the best television ever made. It reminded me a lot of how Doctor Who in the late 1980s found its feet again and was telling the best stories on television. Enterprise was a glorious swan song, and I really hope that the wonderful actors are able to take part again in televised (or audio-dramatised) Star Trek again.

So first of all, I am pleasantly surprised to discover this show. This is all a bit unreal. To see you all, my friends, after all these years is quite something. I never understood why ENT was considered a lesser show by the studio. To me it was magical. I loved every minute of it. You all deserve a lot of credit for the way you made it so very special. I've recently started to rewatch it (again) with my oldest son for whom it is such a nostalgic experience and a throwback to his childhood. I'll never forget you all. You are family - forever.

[@benbunch4159]

Back in 2008, I would've been a college freshman, my mom got us tickets to Dancing in the Dark when we were visiting my grandparents in San Diego. My little brother and my dad and I were kind of groaning we didn't really feel like going to the theater and weren't sure why she was dragging us to some musical based on some old movie we knew nothing about. Well we sat down and opened the playbill and oh my god it's Captain Archer. We were so excited. Scott was fantastic, we really enjoyed the show. And I'll never say no to theater tickets ever again.

[@ariadnavigo]

Season 1 kicked off with Capt. Kirk and closed with Capt. Archer. This is amazing! Thank you for this!

[@Alienfanatic]

The part I enjoyed most about this is that it was just three friends talking. It wasn't podcasters, eager to grow their audience by interviewing a famous actor and asking obvious questions the actor has heard a million times. Dominic was talking about his health and aging. Connor was relating to Scott's kids. And Scott was being more open than celebrities tend to be and discussing the details of his life as a husband and father. It was really nice. In the end, while they're all doing something very public and extroverted, all of us can identify with the human actor behind the characters we love to watch. They play winning characters on screen, whom we'd all love to just hang out with. It's really neat to see that they're all just regular guys instead of behaving like, well, like celebrities. There is a core group of famous people that seem like regular folks who made good and who are more relatable than you'd expect a rich guy might be. I think of folks like Kurt Russell, Ron Howard, Ian McKellen, Keanu Reeves and Michael Dorn don't fit that Hollywood stereotype and I think that Scott fits nicely with that crowd. Just folks that you'd love to hang out with and NOT talk about their jobs but rather just talk to them like you would any other friend you share interesting stories with. Thanks for producing such a natural podcast. The Shuttlepod show was fine, but this feels more relaxed, natural, and simple now that it's just you guys and your guest. Might just do the Patreon thing if you don't stop producing all this fun content, dang you.

back in 2006, we were part of this massive Save Enterprise campaign. When it became obvious we couldn't revive the show, this lovely girl from India who used to work in Washington D.C. invited me to come over from France to see Scott Bakula perform at the Ford theater in Shenandoah. unfortunately, in the end we never met because she was sent abroad for work at the last minute but I made the best of it, seeing the show like 5 or 6 times, I can't remember now. Scott Bakula would meet his audience after each and every show, and he was so caring and respectful and his usual perfect gentleman. I had the pleasure to talk to him for a minute or two and he accepted to record a message in French for a friend's QL fan site, and he did it with grace. it's a memory I really cherish

[@rachelblack3816]

I have to say that when the show 'Enterprise' first aired, I ignored it because I couldn't see Scott Bacula as a captain (I loved him in Quantam Leap), and it wasn't until many years after it was off-the-air before I decided to watch in on Netflix, needing something to watch while on the treadmill for a long stretches at a time. After watching every episode of 'Enterprise' I will say categorically that 'Enterprise' was the best series in the Star Trek universe. Sure, it had some clunkers (EVERY TV series does), but overall it was really good and had great story arcs and characters. Also, all of the cast of 'Enterprise' were perfect for their respective roles, but mostly, it was great stories AND great characters. I intend to buy the entire set of 'Enterprise' on DVD or Bluray so I can watch it over and over. My thanks to everyone involved in the making of 'Enterprise', I've enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.

Me ragging on Kurtzman aside - Enterprise gets better and better with age. There's some really golden episodes in there, and it's criminal that they were cancelled once they'd hit their stride. Literally every Star Trek show took a season or two to find it's voice, and it hurts to think what we missed out on with Enterprise. Plus - Scott Bakula seems to be the nicest guy in Hollywood, according to literally everyone who's ever met him.

[@mightymartianca]

I watched Dear Doctor not so long ago. For me, it's not just one of the best Enterprise episodes, it's one of the very best episodes of the entire franchise. Trek at its best; facing complex and nuanced problems, and asking the hardest of questions. Smart, intelligent and most importantly, Enterprise treated its audience like people with intelligence.

Captain Archer 🤟🏻 love seeing him reunite with his fellow Enterprise crew - Tucker and Reed. Young kids who were Trekies idolized them

[@centralWisconsin1]

I just found you guys again. I don’t know what happened to your previous podcast KZbin show, but glad I found your new channel (finally), and I’ve subscribed.

[@edburke961]

Thank you for this, Dom and Conner. Scott Bakula is one of great ones, a gentleman and class act. It was a great episode and it was very nostalgic seeing you guys together again. I love Enterprise and this amazing podcast. You guys are killing it, I'm glad you're back. Continued success and prosperity to you all.

[@shuowu11227]

Reunions like this melts my heart! Scott, Dom and Connor having history of working together, it felt like a family, the whole cast as well. Forget what anyone said about the show’s cancellation - you guys should be proud of your selves for it’s ending

[@Victura_Gaming]

It is... so, so, so good to see you all - still together - still having fun - enjoying one another's time together - sharing laughs - inviting us in and sharing it with us. Thank you.

[@daniel385]

Wonderful seeing you three together again.

[@BeckyMorrison-v2l]

This was terrific. What fun and thank you for making it possible!

[@davidlavigne207]

What a special guest to have been able to watch. I really appreciated the look behind the scenes into the world of the actors on and off set of Enterprise, and so many of the others that Scott has been a part of. I was studying to be an actor many years ago, and can relate to the feeling of the "magic" that a good cast can create on stage. That's why these three guys were such a good fit on Enterprise-they all had theater experience.

[@Ryan-kg7hu]

Love seeing all three of you together again. Always have had such great chemistry together!

[@maxshenkwrites]

Excellent as always-- I just love seeing the NON-Trek sides of these people whose work I love so much.

[@renhamilton5789]

This is so great, you guys have always spoken so highly of Scott and I know you've wanted him on for a long time. XO Loved loved loved Enterprise so much.

[@margitmargann3099]

It was great, so much warmth, emotions and camaraderie came across. Thank you so much to everybody! Great job! Looking forward to what will come in the next season. As for the anniversary, it will be 25 years of filming Enterprise next year and it aired in 2001 so there can be two anniversaries if we want theoretically. 🖖🏻😉💛🌻

[@gooner70_ns]

Scott is super humble and Enterprise was my fave iteration of the entire universe... loved it ❤

[@LuminairPrime]

Scott Bakula is sharp and hell, and busy as hell. I can see why you guys like him! Hope to see many more Enterprise reunions! 🖖

[@susanscott8653]

O captain, our captain! What a great show, with Scott Bakula reflecting on his extensive and diverse career. I will miss the show while you take a break but look forward to a new season. 🖖

[@arthouston7361]

You men should be justifiably pleased with the work you did on Enterprise. I loved it. I have often wondered what it would be like if I could go back to 1973 when I met Gene, and show him this iteration of Trek. I think he would love it as much as his own original series. I was a young actor looking to find my way, and looking back, when my friend Todd (Hallowell) left for LA from our little town in Pennsylvania, perhaps I should have gone with him. It would have been a vastly different experience. Today, I'm involved in music ministry after a nearly two decade career as a radio personality, and Todd is the Executive Producer for the X-Men franchise. So to you men and Scott...a big "well done!"

[@jussimatikainen4681]

Thank you. Great interview and Scott Bakula is a legend :)

[@gcarstgc]

Thank you for getting our favorite Cap!! Enterprise seems to be getting more of the love it deserves from Trekies. Hoping to see much more from Scott Bakula. Archer got us to the stars. 🌟

[@beesod6412]

I'm so glad I found the new show. So much love for all three of you. Thank you for helping me stay sane in my early 20s.

[@BazAlderson-jackson]

Enterprise was my absolute favourite in the Star Trek franchise it left us far far to early. And I have absolutely loved these interviews . I cannot wait for more ❤️😊🖖🏻✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@McRocket]

I had no idea that these two had done not one - but two - podcast shows on KZbin. What a joy. And this first one I saw... what an episode! ☮

[@renato7103]

I stumbled upon this episode, now I have to go back and watch the whole Enterprise series again. Love it, the best ST show IMHO.

[@Pierreandandre]

Very timely that this pops up in my recommended. I've been watching through Enterprise for the second time the past year and a half. This is great. 😁

[@smithmeister]

I'm glad this show has been revived and with the guests that were a wishlist too!

[@sebwilkins]

Scott is a wonderful and gentle soul; he is so humble, and this interview was a delight to watch. For his age, he is so energetic and sharp.

[@leyvajoe]

I loved Enterprise and would have loved seven seasons.

[@finchharper4647]

Would love Enterprise Movie, even a TV movie having show what happened later to the crew.

[@JamesBond-mj1wy]

It's awesome you finally got Scott on the show. Great to see him!

[@philmarsh5593]

Beautiful, seeing how moved Dom was, in particular. Obvious just how much Scott and Enterprise meant to him, now he looks back as an older actor. And Scott seems to be one of those people that everyone would want as their best friend. Lovely guy.
