	UPN cancels Star Trek: Enterprise Enter the AD-FREE zone

Flipping through channels and happened across FOX News (I'll have to remember to block it one of these days...) and they were going through a quickie rundown of the days news. So no, I don't have another link at the moment.

Discuss.

Star Trek: Enterprise Cancelled!

After four seasons, Star Trek: Enterprise has reached the end of its mission ...

PRESS RELEASE

UPN and Paramount Network Television have jointly announced that this will be the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise on UPN. [Production will continue until the end of this season, which will finish shooting in March.] The series finale will air on Friday, May 13, 2005.

"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 Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, UPN. "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."

David Stapf, President of Paramount Network Television, said, "The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. 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."

A prequel to the original "Star Trek" series, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE premiered on UPN on Sept. 26, 2001, and aired for its first three seasons on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). On Oct. 8, 2004, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE moved into its current time on Fridays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). Through its four-year run, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE produced a total of 98 episodes and earned four Emmy Awards.

Don't really care. I liked TNG and that's about all. I do think that they could have created something good with this. They should have used it to do the same thing to the Star Trek franchise that the new Battlestar Galactica is doing.

You mean you *CAN'T* care less, think about it....

Anywho, I liked Enterprise and early-mid DS9, any news on a new Star Trek series? and will they rap up Enterprise neatly?

I'll miss T'Pol getting lubed up in the decontamination room......:

It was a shitty show and deserved to be cancelled after season 1.

So the word is that a part of the decision to cancel it was that when BSG premiered, it originally was up against it. And Enterprise got it's ass whupped hardcore.

Good riddance!

I don't understand why people didn't take to Enterprise. The show was justified viewing for the sensual T'Pol alone.

There was a rumour a while ago that JMS (the guy who created Babylon 5) was trying to get the next Star Trek series. I don't know if that ever worked out though.

And apparently there will be a "good" wrap-up of the series this season. There are unsubtle hints that they're currently working towards the founding of the Federation, starting with last week's episode. I'm not convinced that it will actually be high-quality though, since they're letting the Wonder Twins do the script.

They don't have a UPN broadcast outlet in my area, so I don't get to see Star Trek at all. Ugh.

I think the original series was the best. I still look forward to seeing repeats on the SciFi Channel.

Star Trek needs a new series, set in a time beyond TNG. In the new series, they should have the ability to travel to the Delta Quadrant, and should be exploring the Beta and Gamma Quadrants. The possibilities for good stories should abound. For example, imagine if the Federation had destroyed the Borg or made peace with them in some fashion.

I also must comment on this idea of letting Star Trek rest. I haven't heard such RUBBISH in my life. One person suggests this, then all the mindless sheep start chanting.

There are many series that have incredible longevity. Try to appreciate how long some soap operas like Days of Our Lives and The Young and Restless have been going. In Australia we have our own soap, Neighbours, which has been going for 20 years.

You may suggest such shows are of poor quality, but they aren't to the people who love them.

People like familiarity, and they like to escape the humdrum of their own lives. Why not cater for sci-fi fans? Must all Star Trek episodes involve life and death situations coupled with incredible spacial anomalies presenting a Pandora's box of paradoxes? I would be more interested in deeper character development, and the politics of running a starship, than silly, juvenile, comic book plots every week.

I had alot of hope for this series when it first came out, it was gritty and edgy and had a certain level of realism that the characters had on an emotional, humanistic level.

The other Star Trek series had that idealism and the characters didn't really have personalities.

But after a few shows, it seemed pretty flat, there was lots of potential for it to take alot of cool angles but it never seemed to go anywhere.

yeah it started off well. It almost seemed like a real ship. They had a cook who cooked food and all. I wanted to see the starships in their more primitive form.

but the writing really didn't work for me.

	Put an end to popups!

@Beekla, I hear ya, but I definatley think the Holodeck got overused for plots in TNG (Sherlock Holmes, Worf, San Francisco etc), I like pretty much the whole franchiase (sp) (bar Voyager) , but some episodes are a kop-out IMHO with mysterious emotion changing passengers on board every other week

I don't like it when Star Trek shows use the holideck or go back in time or land on a planet that is similar to earth during a particular moment in time.

(Like the whole Nazi thing that has been way overdone too many times).

It seemed like such a writer's copout.

Definitley the writing on this show was the letdown, as they had a good cast and a good set and camerawork, etc.
