The end of Trek?

[flumperino]

well bugger me

Enterprise NX-01

UPN and Paramount have confirmed that Star Trek: Enterprise will be axed at the end of the show's current season.

"Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction," said UPN's president of entertainment, Dawn Ostroff. "We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers."

The series, now in its fourth season, has suffered from perpetually low ratings. Indeed, its renewal for a fourth season was very much in doubt. In the end, UPN moved it to Friday nights - up against new episodes of Stargate: SG1 on Sci-Fi - and despite a generally perceived improvement in the quality of the storylines, ratings failed to recover.

"The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise," said David Stapf, president of Paramount Network Television. "We are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future."

The series finale will air in America on Friday, May 13, 2005.

Must admit I have barely watched Enterprise, but planned to start watching it at the beginning of series 4, because that is when Star Trek series' start to get really good. Now its gone!

Always thought a ST series was guaranteed 7 series because of the massive hardcore fan-base :/
Is this the end of Trek then , will they ever make another series??...I'm not so sure..

As much as i love Star Trek, i feel it has run its course now,the shows have become less and less interesting, although i must say i have enjoyed Enterprise,but i think its time to put it to bed..

Enterprise does have its moments, and i thought they would have carried on. I mean, they can go on for ages explaining loads of things like how the federation was formed, the invention of the computer on enterprise and so on. Current storyline is really good, and so was last seasons timeline one. I must say i will be sad to see it go. Its Angel all over again!

I would have thought the answer was obvious. If you want more viewers put it on after the watershed and rid T'Pol of her cumbersome clothes. :thumbs

[marcode]

This week a full page ad was placed in one of the New York papers calling for the show to be saved.

I thought enterprise was good.. I will be disappointed. I think what we need is the Next Next Generation... go another 400 years into the future! Future where T'pol can shed her clothes! haha

[dirtyrider]

I`m gutted, love me ST Oh no what am i going to do now????
Serious though i did like Enterprise, liked Voyergers storyline to get home e.t.c
Hope they do a new series?

The new enterprise season starts on sky shortly, I've just noticed I've missed seasons 2 and 3 are they available on dvd (or other format) anywhere to buy ?

[RaggoVibes]

You won't be able to buy the DVDs for a while yet. But there are other ways of getting tv episodes "cough, cough"

I think the 4th season of enterprise was getting better and i'll be sad to see it go.
There's a group of fans trying to raise money to sponsor the production of a fifth season www.saveenterprise.com . a waste of time in my view considering it costs millions just to make one episode.

Somepeople want the Sci-fi channel to take over the reigns but i don't think they've got that kind of money to spend at the mo.
Ahh well i'm sure ST will pop up once again in the future, it's too big a franchise and there's a lot of money that can still be made.

I've just watched the start of the new series of battlestar galactica series, could be a suitable replacement for now.

btw, season 3 of enterprise is being aired on channel 4 on sundays.

I am thoroughly enjoying S4 of ST:E ... shame to see it go really.

[zapiy]

I barely watched Enterprise but its still ashame to see it end so early,,, Bring on a new Series.
