   Enterprise Spoilers Revealed   
      
   Rick Berman, executive producer of UPN's Star Trek: Enterprise, revealed to   
   SCI FI Wire several spoilers for the upcoming fourth season, including the   
   possible casting of original Star Trek star William Shatner (Capt. Kirk) in   
   a familiar role. "We're still discussing it with Bill," Berman said in an   
   interview at UPN's fall press preview in Los Angeles. "He had a terrific   
   episode [idea], and we had a nice long lunch meeting with him a couple of   
   weeks ago. And there's a lot of things that need to get ironed out in terms   
   of scheduling, in terms of money. ... But he would play an incarnation of a   
   Kirk, yes. He would not be playing another character."   
      
   Berman added that the upcoming season will feature several stand-alone   
   episodes and "miniarcs" of two or three episodes, as contrasted with season   
   three's season-long Xindi storyline. "We're going in new directions for the   
   fourth season, and hopefully there's going to be a mixture of smaller   
   arcs," Berman said. "The first two episodes are going to be a small arc.   
   And then there's going to be a single episode. And then there's going to be   
   a three-episode arc. And there's going to be some levity, and there's also   
   going to be some heavy subjects dealt with."   
      
   Among the other spoilers Berman and cast members revealed to SCI FI Wire:   
      
   * - In addition to the previously announced guest appearance of Star Trek:   
   The Next Generation star Brent Spiner as an ancestor of Data's creator,   
   guest stars will include Girlfriends' Golden Brooks and The Sopranos' Steve   
   Schirripa. "He plays a character in 1944," Berman said, referring to the   
   season premiere.   
      
   * - T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) may find herself getting married in episode   
   three, Blalock said in an interview.   
      
   * - The long-standing Temporal Cold War arc will be resolved in the first   
   two episodes.   
      
   * - The new season will be the first shot entirely on high-definition   
   digital video instead of film as a cost-saving measure. UPN renewed the   
   ratings-challenged Enterprise in part because Paramount, which produces the   
   show, agreed to lower its license fee for the series.   
      
   * - Manny Coto, a writer (Showtime's Odyssey 5) who joined the series in   
   the third season and was responsible for many of the Xindi storylines, has   
   been promoted to "show runner," in charge of the day-to-day operations and   
   writing, while previous show runner Brannon Braga steps back into a more   
   executive role.
