Your first chance to chat live with Star Trek: Enterprise executive producer and writer Manny Coto will happen at 2:00 p.m. PT* on October 8 right here at STARTREK.COM.

Heading into the fourth season, Manny brings to the show "a passionate love of all things Star Trek." As a life-long fan, Coto sees the new season of Enterprise as an opportunity to connect some of the themes, aliens and locations from the Original Series to the prequel show. With two- or three-episode story arcs, such as the "Arik Soong" (Brent Spiner) trilogy that has just completed filming, the show promises to bring familiar faces and races back to the show.
