'Shockwave, Part II' photo - courtesy MediaTrek.com, copyright Paramount Pictures UPN last night aired the first footage from the Enterprise season premiere, 'Shockwave, Part II'.

The network was promoting its new Wednesday night line-up, which pairs Enterprise in its 8:00pm (7:00pm Central) timeslot with the revival of The Twilight Zone at 9:00pm. The trailer included scenes of Reed and T'Pol taken prisoner by Suliban, as well as Twilight Zone host Forest Whitaker and guest star Jason Alexander (Kurros in 'Think Tank').

A second promo hyped the Enterprise 'Trek To The Stars' sweepstakes, which will give one lucky fan the chance to win a trip to the world premiere of 'Star Trek Nemesis' in Los Angeles. Details on how to enter, as well as exclusive footage from 'Nemesis,' will be shown during 'Shockwave, Part II' and the Twilight Zone premiere on September 18. While this trailer included some more footage from the Enterprise premiere, all the 'Nemesis' shots come from the teaser trailer.

Both trailers have been made available online at MediaTrek. For those of you with slower connections, transcripts of the promos can be found below.
