Duggie Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 This sucks, I liked Enterprise. This season was getting good and it looked as if we would be able to see the Romulan wars and mabe the beginning of the Federation. Now that seems like it may not happen. Enterprise was to me like a history lesson, I love history. History is a way to look into the past and Enterprise was the past to all of the other series.

vRees Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 It is cancelled for sure, the message on saveenterprise was dated januari 29th, whereas yesterday februari 2nd they confirmed the cancellation of the series. Good thing is, they are going to finis this season, so a sound finale will be written (or at least I hope it'll be a sound finale). On startrek.com it also states that the future of the startrek franchise is uncertain at best... They presently have no plan to begin another series, nor are there concrete plans for a movie YET... Paramount has thanked Rick Berman a.o. for their years of support... sounds to me they are letting them go... It's a said day indeed, the end of an era, the end of a noble series, started long ago by Gene Roddenberry, and loved around the world... perhaps, in another 20 or so years, someone will come up with a new series, but it doesn't look like we'll be seeing it any time soon.... Grieve with me brothers...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vRees Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 While I think it's highly unlikely' date=' I would love to see another network offer to pick up Season 5, maybe Sci-Fi, or FX, or even Spike where TNG is being shown already. I suppose there is still time for a another network to make the offer. Maybe Paramount will drop the price again now that it has already sold the syndication rights. Adding 50 more episodes could bring them a substantial sum from future syndication.[/quote'] Too bad it's not just UPN, but also Paramount that cancelled it, face it guys, they're not going to find another channel, they've really pulled the plug... It's nice to dream, but sometimes you have to speak the facts, and the facts show it's over for Enterprise... Sad... but true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonHelton Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 HOW THE BUMBLEBEE'S KILLED ENTERPRISE 1. A bumpy-headed Klingon on Earth, in the very first episode! TOS has no record of Klingons on Earth before Kirk's time. Hell, for that matter, no Klingons on Earth at all. 2. Suliban & Xindi....... I don't remember these from TOS, do you? If so, please tell me the episode! 3. The BORG on Earth........ Sorry, according to ST Canon, it never happened. 4. Earth being directly attacked.... Nope, never happened. Kirk would've had a record of something like that, but it never came up in any TOS episode. 5. Quantum Leap in Space....... Backula is known for time travel in his previous show "Quantum Leap"........All of the time travel going on just reinforced it, instead of identifying him as a captain of a starship. 6. A whole season on a non-existant species...... It's one thing to bring in a species that Kirk had no record of, it's alot worse when you spend a whole year on them!! :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo21 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Yes it's a sad time, but I have a feeling this isn't the absolute end to the Star Trek world, maybe just a pause and a possible changing of the guard if you will. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmook Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Actually I wouldn't be at all surprised if the show resurfaces in syndication, reaching a much larger potential audience. If you look at the scifi networks' success w/ Stargate it seems cable is the obvious choice for this sort of market and UPN's rather spotty availability doomed Enterprise to low ratings from the very beginning. To coin a phrase there's a rather Hassellhoffian opportunity here (as in when Baywatch was canceled then went on to become the biggest syndicated show in history) and, as I mentioned before, I'd be rather shocked if no one pursues it. On the other if no one does pursue said opportunity, the Paramount, through a series of the most boneheaded decisions I've ever seen, will have run their most lucrative franchise into the ground.

Guest Guest Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think it was a mistake, making a series "before" TOS. TOS and TNG kinda tells whats going to happend, The forming of the Fedaration and so on.... Makes it harder to write good scripts. A lot of treads to pick up after TNG "They" killed Farscape and that was a better show then Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 This is exactly how I feel right now. But of course, I ain't gonna do it. It's a figurative gesture of protest against Paramount's folly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffydk Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 HOW THE BUMBLEBEE'S KILLED ENTERPRISE 6. A whole season on a non-existant species...... It's one thing to bring in a species that Kirk had no record of, it's alot worse when you spend a whole year on them!! :stare: Star Trek TOS, TNG and Voyager were bsed on the premise that they would go out and meet new species and boldly go where no one has gone before. But then comes Enterprise and tries to imitate that but it cant because TOS doesnt have records of meeting these species so close to earth. Kirk met the romulans, the klingons and all for the first time. If they had made it into something non-exploration series and called it Starfleet or something, it would have made more sense because then they would have presented stories that had to do with how starfleet functioned. -How they dealt with the fact that new species were being introduced to earth. -How does new species come to earth and how do people on earth react to them. Maybe its a bad idea but Enterprise couldnt have done well with an existing fan base who expected enterprise to behave within time constraints.

VonHelton Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think it was a mistake' date=' making a series "before" TOS.[/quote'] Disagree...... Enterprise had huge amounts of untapped potential...... 1. There are many alien races from TOS we have yet to encounter. 2. The forming of the Federation could've taken a whole season, if they wished. 3. The development of the Neutral Zone could have taken at least a few episodes. 4. The early conflicts between Klingons & Romulans could've been delt with. 5. We could've seen the colonies on Mars & Jupiter being formed. 6. We could've seen other types of warships & fighter aircraft being developed. .....And much, much more. Enterprise could've easily seen 10 seasons. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 And they might as well cancel the UPN network as well' date=' I've never watched anything on it except for Enterprise and Voyager.[/quote'] Same here. And here. But to be honest, I didn't watch Voyager long. Never could get into it. For Enterprise to really take off' date=' it should have been on a network that people watch. Remember TNG? It was on NBC in the primetime. No wonder it got such great ratings.[/quote'] Not here. It was on our CBS station on Saturday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 An other problem whit the series is the ship. many have said it lokks to good when you compare it to the ships in TOS.

Enterprise will go to syndication, but with what it has. Syndication is what you & I call "repeats". .....This won't bring it back, however. The only thing that will bring it back is moving it to another channel immediately before it goes to syndication. Stargate is not a space-farring show. Yes, there are a few scenes shot in space, but they are very rare. Most of stargate is planetside.......(Read: CHEAPER TO MAKE). Apparently, beauty shots are quite a bit of money to make. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
