Scott Bakula ("Captain Archer") makes another triumphant return to STARTREK.COM on Wednesday, November 19 to talk about the latest episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. The time of the chat is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 p.m. GMT), but this may change due to production demands. (We advise that you check back on the morning of the chat for a confirmed time.) Airing on that day will be "Similitude," an episode that Scott has already singled out as a one of Enterprise's best:

"'Similitude' is a very interesting script by a new writer, Manny Coto, and it involves an explosion on the ship that gravely injures Trip, and an effort to clone Trip in order to replace the part of his brain that's been damaged. I don't want to give too much more away about it, because it's really interesting and deals with a lot of topical issues dealing with cloning, but I will say again it's one of our best scripts in three years. And a great episode for Connor [Trinneer]." — Chat transcript from Oct. 1, 2003

Scott's participation in these special event chats continues to break new ground for us here at STARTREK.COM. Never before have we had the opportunity to experience this level of synergy between the star of the show and the publicity that goes into promoting an episode.  We would like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Bakula for taking the time to participate in these chats. If you've been to one of the previous three, you know how much fun they can be.

We've covered many subjects with Scott over the past two months, so keep those questions coming. Remember, we are looking for submitted questions that are the most original and thought provoking. You can e-mail your questions ahead of time about the latest episodes and the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise to: bakulachat@startrek.com.

More about the making of "Similitude" can be found in that episode's Production Report.
