Dr. Soong on Enterprise?

Hey there,

 

First, note, possible spoiler ahead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to some stuff I read online, Marina Sirtis told fans at a convention this past weekend that Brent Spiner is set to make three guest appearances on Star Trek: Enterprise. Supposedly he's going to be playing the grandfather of Doctor Noonien Soong. Supposedly filming begins next month with the show in question probably going to air in November. Original article can be found here.

 

Thoughts?

 

Personally, not completely against the idea. Perhaps this is what Berman means by seeing some "familiar faces" on the show. As long as they do it right, might be a nice thing to see...especially since there is almost zero chance of ever seeing Brent Spiner playing an android again.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna agree with you there Fred. At least, that episode will get good ratings. People like seeing familiar faces on other Trek shows. But yeah.. I just hope the episode and Bret's character will be remembered in a good way. I also don't really think we'll see Data again either.. well, maybe as B-4, but I kinda doubt that. I'm all forBret being on Enterprise too, but.. I just hope it's "tasteful". :D (or done right as Fred said)

I can't help but think that bringing an ancestor of Soong to Enterprise would be a bit like having HoD Duras (presumably of the House of Duras) on that one episode. It wasn't essential to the plot that HoD Duras be in the episode, they just gave him that to tie in Enterprise with TNG.

 

I think if they had a character named Soong it would be the same thing.

B4 was humming the song Data sang at the wedding there is a small chance that B4 memory circuits just need a little longer to transfer Data (Pun intended :D )

Yeah, but after Nemesis, I don't think there'll be another TNG movie. :D

I have to agree, if only to see him break out of the acting shell that is Data. I wouldn't be suprised if this character is rather charasmatic, if only to give him a new way to act. After nearly 15 years of playing an android, and only a 3 movies where he actaully had emotions, I'd do anything to play a new guy with some personality.

What!!! How could you forget Dr. Brackish Okun!! The crazy doctor from Independence Day!!?? Granted, it was supposed to be a spoof of his Soong character. He was an emotional nutjob. Then there was that movie I had to rent for the kids "Master of Disguise" well, he was a 'gas' in that. Sorry for the pun....

 

He's done quite a bit that wasn't an android part.....

 

More things he's done...

Heh, I never said I forgot, I just never mentioned it. I know he's done some broadway. I just love that scene in ID4 where he's being killed, DATA DIES!

Other spoilers include that Shatner will show up, but it is unkown who he will pay.

Also, Bakula is supposedly trying to get Wayne Brady a gig on the show. Hmmm, maybe a transporter accedent sends Archer back in time, and Wayne Brady is sent into the future. Then Archer has to pretend to be an actor named Scott Bakula, a guest host, and gets to sing on the show.

 

I know I'm getting off topic, but here's another idea of how Bakula and Brady can be on the show. Quantum's Bakula becomes Enterprise Bakula, and Eterprise Bakula becomes Wayne Brady, and QtoE Bakula is the Bakula that goes and does the Wayne Brady show, and Phlox whould be archer's imaging guy, and...

 

lets just have Quantum be Archer. Period.
