Star Trek: Enterprise Cancelled!

[Lindley]

^Nah, I've seen the numbers. ENT's last few episodes were just above 2.5 million viewers. That's part of the reason it was cancelled-----if the numbers had stayed about 3 million, as they were prior to Christmas, it might still be here.

Stargate SG-1 frequently gets in the vicinity of 2 million viewers or a bit more on the Scifi channel, though. Perhaps that's what you were thinking of?

[PrankishSmart]

I watch enterprise every week but because I live in a different country I download the episodes of bit torrent. This has to be considered, there are more, a lot more viewers than 2 or 3 million I believe.

But i'm not too sure which is best. Fight to try and save enterprise, or let it die in peace. If it really ends in the 4th season, I do hope for a good ending, and maybe preserve the timeline as much as possible.

I really miss 24th century trek, and want the next series, if there is one, to be late 24th, early 25th century trek just like we remembered. TNG, DS9 and VOY were the best series.

It is my understanding that USA controls UPN and that it is their fault that Enterprise has been canceled. Is it any wonder that both of these channels only have one show worthy of watching? A channel that has only one show you can sit through is a failure in anyone�s book. UPN stopped showing reruns of TNG, DS9, and VOY so their only show is Enterprise. The only thing I find worth watching on USA is MONK, since they stopped showing reruns of Quantum Leap and MacGyver. I guess the Great Hedgimon, USA, doesn�t know what�s good for TV!

Maybe they could revive Voyager. Voyager: The Delta Quadrant revisited

No, Kate Mulgrew has already said that she is happy voyager is over.

It's ashame that enterprise is ending. I wasn't a big fan of it but still...it's Star Trek none the less.

I wasn't taking anything out on you Solscape....I did say that I respect your opinion, but just walking on an Enterprise themed board, and going...

Has anyone ever read the Voyager Virtual Season episodes?

They are on http://vv8.jetc.org/main.html, and I always hoped they would one day be added to the Star Trek shows as a sort of sequel to Voyager. It's really addictive!
The storyline is also good for shows, because it can actually be implemented in almost every Star Trek Era so far seen. There is no need to find a totally new era then, just choose one (I'd prefer post-Nemesis, with Riker and maybe B4, Data's 'reincarnation'...) and shoot the stuff.
They have the designs for the sets still in their computers, as far as I know... and otherwise some of us might be able to help?

I'm actually more angry then I thought I'd be about the demise of Enterprise... well, I mean we all saw it coming, but still it's weird.
I for one did like the shows, despite some minor deficiencies, it was always fun... my sis disliked the increased violence in season 4 so she quit watching... but hey! That's only one.

I don't understand why Paramount fired it... but maybe it was some sort of short term financing project? It did bring in money, despite the lack of viewers... So maybe it was all just some sort of 'bridge', so that people would keep the name Star Trek in their minds... and now they'll come up with something REALLY grand?
But that is all just wishful thinking...

Anyways... thanks for listening to me ranting, m8s...

CU around here,

Well I'm a bit behind the times here. My internet has been down for the past 3 weeks and I've only just read the news.

Bit of a mixed reaction really. I had thought it would come to this eventually but nevertheless, t'was a shock.

For me, all the series took a while to...settle (for lack of a better word) before they gained momentum (and I'm sure some of you will criticise me for saying that but it's only my opinion - don't hurt me!). With Enterprise, you had a run of good episodes and then a really bad one. Then a good one. Then a bad one.

Before you know it, ratings are going down and they're 're-inventing' the series (or whatever you want to call it) and any momentum you had before is now gone as the series goes in a completely different direction.

I'm not glad that it's stopped, don't get me wrong - I think it's just time for a breather. Mind you, having said that, Star Trek is (again, my opinion) the flagship of the sci-fi genre. I say this despite having not enjoyed Star Trek for several years now.

New shows (woe is me, why did Firefly die?!) brought new life to the industry but without the big name backing them, (such as Star Trek) were unable to gain a large-enough audience.

I'm sure we havn't seen the death of Star Trek but I wonder, will it ever fly again like it used to???

[sabertooth1217]

I really am upset about the fact that Enterprise was canceled. The only thing that I can do is blame all of the star trek fans. If every fan was loyal to star trek, they would have had high ratings and the show would not have been cancelled. Now that it has been, I have to say that I fully and completely believe that star trek is dead.

I doubt that there will ever be another show. If you were not a loyal Enterprise fan, you are the cause for the death of Enterprise.

[The Delta Flyer]

Well I was never a fan of Enterprise and I don't see it as my fault nor the collective fanbase.

The way you put it, it sounds as though we should, as fans, adore everything Trek regardless of quality, simply because it is Star Trek.

I would rather say that it is the fault of the people in charge of Enterprise who, in my opinion, tried to use excellent special effects (and I'm not afraid to say that they were impressive) to replace actual storylines (and again, I'm not afraid to say that for the most part, the storylines were less than impressive when compared with other, more original and innovative shows - here's another chance for me to praise Firefly and from what I've seen, the new "Battlestar Galactica" series).

For the time being, I would say that the Star Trek franchise is too full - leaving very little scope for anyone to do anything 'new' in.

It needs a rest and by 'rest', I don't mean giving it time to stagnate. If there is going to be a new Trek series, those in charge need to have a good long think about what's going to make it different this time round; what's going to make it impressive.

To think that the premise of 'Enterprise' was along the lines of "going back to basics" now seems almost laughable. Sure, it was set in an earlier timeframe but there was the same technology, just with a slightly different name (Phase Pistol> Phaser / Photonic Torpedo> Photon Torpedo). Now perhaps it's just me but, exactly how was Enterprise anything different to any of the other series. Again, this is my opinion, but a new ship, a new crew and a new era does not make a brand new show.

Hmmm...

I shall look forward to pro-Enterprise fans slating me now

[GhostOfAMemory]

WHAAAAAAH!!!!

I was so looking forward to 3 1/2 mroe years of Captain Archer and the rest *sniffle*

They have somuch potential there with the time war thing, and they could show the founding of the federation!!! Grrr... there are so many good stories left in enterprise that are never going to be told! *kicks people who cancelled it in shin*

And they BETTER not end SG-1 either!!!!!!

The Farscape miniseries is already made, aired, and out on DVD.

[Was_futile]

Well Enterprise ends on May the 15th but family guy will see us through these tough times it starts again on may the first

[Leo Wyatt]

I could care less about the family guy. Peter is a moron in my opinion. I am more interested in scifi stuff. So I am still poed about cancellation of Enterprise. Crazy writers!
