Caught an article the other day on Trekweb saying the Braga and other producers approached Shatner to play Kirks Grandfather on Enterprise.
Though I dont have the proof, I had joked last year that friends that as soon as the ratings tank and they were out of ideas they would try and ratings stunt like this.
luckily Shatner declined.
Also was reading an article at the newsstand yesterday with a past writer of Voyager and DS9, Bryan Fuller I believe, who said that while DS9 was a good experience, Voyager WAS NOT because the powers that be were unwilling to let them write intersting story archs on the show or have the characters evolve (with the exception of Seven and The Doctor). Things would happen to the characters but he said magically, by episodes end the magical rest buttom was hit.
We are getting much of the same, because the same people are in charage, on Enterprise.
Now after years they are finally willing to do story archs.
