Connor Trinneer on
"Unexpected":
"I don't know how much I'm allowed to tell you, I get
pregnant, but it's not like I get impregnated. It's an
accident. This alien and I put our hands in this granule
things and read each other's minds and the next thing you
know I've got nipples coming out of my arm."
[...]
"They're made out of gelatin, like
the stuff you buy in the supermarket, which has more
luminosity than rubber or latex," he said,
describing the nipples. "You could
actually eat these things if you wanted to."
[...]
"In grad school, in drama school,
they force you to take risks. Hell, I was already
pregnant, and that didn't bother me one bit. What a great
opportunity that was, and that's how I looked at it. I
might have felt differently had I never been to drama
school." |

Original
TrekToday rumor-mill article (08/21/2001):
"This apparently very funny episode
will feature the male pregnancy first mentioned by Rick
Berman in the recent TV Guide interview. 'Unexpected'
opens when malfunctions start to occur on the Enterprise,
and the crew notice an alien ship hiding in their exhaust
wake. It turns out that the aliens are there to recharge
their ship to try and get home. The Enterprise engineer,
Charlie 'Trip' Tucker, goes over to the aliens to help
them repair their ship - but unwittingly becomes pregnant
in the process!
Trip manages to fix the ship, and it departs. Once the
crew figure out that Trip is indeed pregnant, they try to
track down the aliens, and find them hiding in the
slipstream of a Klingon ship. The Klingons are not at all
receptive to Captain Archer and threaten to destroy both
the alien ship and the Enterprise. For a change, T'Pol
helps Archer resolve the situation, and the Klingons agree
to leave the aliens unharmed - if they agree to trade some
primitive holo-technology." |
