Anyone else think that Fruit of the Loom missed a great opportunity to get sponsorship on "Enterprise?"

Executive producer Brannon Braga admitted that yes, there seems to be a lot of nude or near-nude shots of the actors of the latest Star Trek installment so far in the first season. But that's just a warmup for more.

"Sensuality is sexual tension, and there's a lot of sexual tension between Trip (Conner Trinneer) and T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), and Archer (Scott Bakula) and T'Pol," Braga recently told Cinescape. "Hopefully the sensuality runs through the show. You see our people in their underwear. You see Archer in the shower. There's an episode where the Ferengi take over the ship and Trip spends the entire episode in his underwear, running around the ship like Bruce Willis.

"Sensuality can be humorous. It can be obvious and it can be subtle. Rick (Berman) and I have been allowed to bring our own sensibilities to the show in a more natural way, which we haven't been allowed to do in some of the other shows."

Why hasn't "sensuality" been featured so prominently in previous Star Trek spinoffs like "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "star Trek: Voyager?"

"You have to understand that 'Next Generation' and 'Voyager' were great shows," Braga said. "But they were squeaky-clean shows. They were sterile somehow. The characters were so far removed from you and me that they were hard to relate.

"On 'Enterprise,' I want to feel the grime, and I want to feel the fear. And I want to feel the excitement.

And, although it's hard to tell how exciting T'Pol getting it on will be, Braga did promise that the Enterprise's science officer will "do the nasty" with a fellow Vulcan in an upcoming episode.
