What would Archer be up to thirty or forty years after Enterprise, I wonder?
- President of the Federation by all accounts, or past President.
  Bakula is pitching a series Star Trek United. It seems everyone’s personal project to revive a character or run a show or movie is coming out of the woodwork.

  There’s a discussion thread on this article from a week ago.
Is anyone else not bothered? No one corrected him during the panel. He called Wolf 359 a planet. It’s a red dwarf star. Unless he meant there is a planet nearby. Research says every red dwarf has one planet in a nearby orbit (much farther Earth to Sol).
- I definitely noticed, but I wouldn't say it bothered me. Dammit Jim, he's an actor, not an astronomer!
  And he's speaking off the cuff at a convention, about a plot that would have been written nearly a decade ago. There's any number of wires that could've been crossed in the retelling.
  
  To be clear, not hearing him get corrected is what bothered me.
