upcoming Star Trek series, Enterprise, told ET Online that the series will try to anticipate the look of the original series. "It's kind of a tricky thing, because we obviously have more technology now at our disposal in terms of the shooting of it, but we had to go back and make it look like it was before," Bakula told the site. "So this has more of a submarine type of feel to it. You go in the submarines of today, and there are a lot of similarities to their kind of stations and things. So projecting that ahead and still making it seem like it's before Kirk is complicated."

Bakula also confirmed details of Enterprise's uniforms, which were first reported on SCI FI Wire. "They're kind of jumpsuity, but with pockets," Bakula said. "Jonathan Frakes came by and was almost in tears: 'We would've killed to have pockets! And a zipper?' We have those things, so we're feeling pretty cozy in them, but they're not leotards, which is great. Again, that's another idea of bringing it closer to today, as opposed to the futuristic thing."

Bakula also confirmed details of the series' premise, about humankind's first ventures into intergalactic space. "This is 150 years from today; this is 2151, 100 years before Kirk and Spock," he said. "So we are the first. We've just figured out how to use the propulsion system, and we are going out in warp speed for the first time. ... There will be surprises. What's really fun about this is, because it's ahead of Kirk and Spock, there are references to things that, if you've seen the show, you'll get a kick out of. They're kind of inside things that people know what the outcome is, but we're still in the developmental stage of that. So you'll see some things and say, 'Oh, it's the first time they ever did that; it's the first time they thought of that.' There's that kind of fun stuff, which I think will be fun, not only for the people who know the show really well, but also for newcomers." Enterprise debuts in the fall.
