The Epic Return of Enterprise's Connor Trinneer in Star Trek: Must-Watch Episode

Summary

Connor Trinneer returns as Trip Tucker in Star Trek: very Short Treks, marking the first official comeback of an Enterprise character in current Star Trek.

Trinneer's portrayal of Trip Tucker holds great importance, considering the increasing popularity of Star Trek: Enterprise and the fervent desire of fans to witness the return of its beloved characters.

While it should be noted that Short Treks does not align with the official Star Trek canon, there is a hopeful anticipation for the much-awaited comeback of the remaining members of the Enterprise cast.

Star Trek: Enterprise's Connor Trinneer is making a long-awaited return as Trip Tucker after 18 years. His episode in the Short Treks series, titled "Holograms, All The Way Down", will be released on Wednesday, September 27th. Alongside other Star Trek actors, Trinneer will be lending his voice to this collection of shorts by Casper Kelly, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Animated Series. Although the Short Treks series is not considered part of the official Star Trek canon, fans are still thrilled to see Trinneer reprise his beloved role as Trip Tucker. All Short Treks episodes, including "Holograms, All The Way Down", will be available for streaming on StarTrek.com and the official Star Trek YouTube page.

Here is the schedule for the Short Treks series:

Star Trek: Prodigy executive producer Aaron J. Waltke confirmed on Twitter that he wrote the episode titled "Holograms, All The Way Down," which features numerous Star Trek guest voices, including the return of Connor Trinneer as Trip Tucker. This very Short Treks episode, written by Waltke, is set to be another significant Star Trek guest voice reunion, following the acclaimed crossover episode "Kobayashi" from season 1 of Star Trek: Prodigy, which showcased the voices of iconic Star Trek legacy guest stars such as Leonard Nimoy's Spock and Nichelle Nichols' Uhura.

What Connor Trinner’s Star Trek Comeback Means For Trip & Enterprise

Connor Trinneer's reprisal of Trip Tucker in Star Trek: very Short Treks holds significant importance, despite the fact that the animated comedic short is not considered part of the Star Trek canon. The availability of Star Trek: Enterprise on streaming platforms such as Netflix and Paramount+ has led to a newfound audience and increased appreciation for the show. It is evident that Enterprise has become more popular now than during its original run on UPN from 2001-2005, and fans of the Star Trek franchise have been eagerly awaiting the return of its characters in the current Paramount+ series.

In the current Star Trek series, Trip Tucker becomes the first Enterprise character to make an official comeback, albeit in a non-canonical very Short Treks episode. This holds particular significance because Trip's death continues to be a sensitive issue among fans even after nearly two decades. Considering that Star Trek's animated series such as Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy serve as ideal platforms for the return of characters from Star Trek: Enterprise within the canonical realm, it would be highly anticipated by fans to see Connor Trinneer and his fellow cast members, including Scott Bakula, Jolene Blalock, John Billingsley, Linda Park, Dominic Keating, and Anthony Montgomery, reprise their roles in either animation or live-action formats. The hope is that very Short Treks is only the first step towards fulfilling the long-awaited return of the remaining cast of Star Trek: Enterprise.

New episodes of Star Trek: very Short Treks premiere Wednesdays on StarTrek.com and Star Trek's official YouTube.
