I was looking at TV Guide this evening. The hard copy, printed on paper version. Online the article does not appear, so I will attempt to summarize it here. Looks like Blalock wasn't the only one unhappy with the way the show ended. Connor Trinneer weighs-in in the issue cover dated May 22-28, 2005. On your newsstands now, if you'd like to go look it up. On his "death" he says he was initially
On Frakes and Sirtis guesting on the finale
The article says that the finale was to have been aired even if the series was not cancelled. It quotes Rick Berman saying,
Berman also notes the time difference in "These are the Voyages" from the rest of season 4. Explaining that Trip's demise would not happen for several more years. Trinneer's last comment

Swidden, Thanks. Quite mild (or diplomatic), actually. And, I sense optimism in Trinneer's last words--almost as if he would like to be 'resurrected' in some way. Of course, this not need be done, since stories could still explore the years 2155-2161 (and this doesn't even count the possibility of the years before this). |

Trip's Fate Was Already Decided
Trip would have been written off the show anyway (umm..well not completely)? :rolleyes: That would have been a major mistake to write one of the top two or three characters off the show. Real brilliant. |

This is the same text I found a few weeks ago in a TV Guide article (the thread is elsewhere in this forum). Frankly, I don't buy it. If Trip was going to die in the final episodeof the season (set in the future) we would likely have eventually had some real questions about it. In Enterprise's case you would not be able to say the future is undecided. If this had been allowed to play out over a few more seasons you could very well have ended up with people arguing for this being an alternative time-line again. No, I think Berman is handing us a line on this one... |

^^^ It's difficult to see it any other way given what has been posted. And, I'm an optimist. <sigh> ;( |

[From TrekToday] http://www.trektoday.com/news/130605_01.shtml By Michelle June 13, 2005 - 8:55 PM "I have to say that I'm happy with how it's all played out," said Connor Trinneer of the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise and his character's development, particularly so far as his character Trip Tucker's relationship with T'Pol. Though he regretted the series' untimely end, he expressed less bitterness than some of his castmates about the final episode and his character's strange fate as well. "It's not an easy thing to wrap up a TV show; I sure as hell wouldn't want to figure it out," Trinneer told Starburst (via Sci Fi Pulse). Of series finale "These are the Voyages" he said that he knew the producers were trying to wrap up not only Enterprise but Star Trek stretching back to The Next Generation, and he did not envy the task of Rick Berman and Brannon Braga. Overall Trinneer felt that the fourth season demonstrated the talents of the writing staff, particularly the multi-episode storylines. "Those arcs were good for are show as they allowed us to breathe more life into the plot as apposed to trying to stuff everything into a single hour, or I should say 38 minutes," he noted. "We were able to find certain moments and/or extend moments that we might otherwise not have had the luxury of doing." For him the most difficult aspect of his own character was rationalizing Tucker's decision to leave Enterprise for Columbia, fearing at first that it was out of character for him to abandon his faltering relationship with T'Pol. "When I first read the script for 'Affliction' I thought, 'You guys [the show's producers] had better get this right'. It was a huge leap for Trip to take," he stated. "However, the decision was made to go that route, so we had to make it work the best we could." Though he felt that the decision to cancel the series was premature, Trinneer explained that as an actor he felt lucky to have had a steady job for four years and was sorry that the fans' efforts to keep Enterprise on the air had come to naught. "It's been an honour, a privilege and a total joy to have been part of Enterprise, and I look foreword to what other doors will hopefully open for me," he said as he prepared to seek out new challenges. |

So they would have killed him off int he future even if they hadn't be cancelled, that would just be stupid cos then for every episode for the next god knows how many seasons it would simply be a case of, oh don't worry we know everyones gonna make it to the decomissioning alright so no worries. A talented writter might have been able to work in thosue sort of guidelines but well we know what kind of writters B&B are. |
