   Enterprise's Bakula Speaks   
      
   Scott Bakula, star of UPN's Enterprise, told fans in a chat on the   
   official Star Trek Web site that his character, Capt. Jonathan Archer,   
   gets more driven as the third season begins. "I wouldn't say expect a   
   more vengeful captain, but certainly a captain who is more focused,   
   more driven, less willing to compromise," Bakula said. "There's a   
   great sense of purpose that surrounds the whole show right now. It's   
   very energized and very exciting."   
      
   Archer is leading the crew of the Enterprise into the Delphic Expanse,   
   a dangerous region of space, in pursuit of the Xindi, a mysterious   
   race of aliens who launched an attack on Earth at the end of last   
   season. Bakula added that it's doubtful Archer will see much romance   
   this season. "[It] doesn't look like Capt. Archer will ever get laid   
   in space," he said, with tongue in cheek. "And I'm OK with that. I   
   just plan on taking it out on the Xindi."   
      
   Bakula also said he's not interested in directing any episodes of the   
   Trek prequel series. "I haven't directed any yet," he said. "They've   
   offered me from the beginning the opportunity. But I've found my time   
   has been better spent focusing on scripts and my work and working with   
   each director that comes through. We're very lucky to have a great   
   group of talented directors; they all add to each episode. So far the   
   only cast member who speaks about directing on a daily basis would be   
   Lord Dominic Keating, the tyrant," he added, referring to fellow   
   castmate Keating. Enterprise is airing new episodes Wednesdays at 8   
   p.m. ET/PT.
