I did what little I could to keep it going. Of course I wish there was so much more I could have done. I remember the feeling of relief from finding out the show would have a fourth season. I just wish it got one more. I know the old "one more" is a bit of a recurring exclamation among fans of just about anything, from Civilization to cigarettes. But I genuinely believe (and have always believed) that a fifth season would have given us all a much greater sense of completion than a fourth. Much greater.
Five seasons is something of a standard-issue for a lot of somewhat-serialized shows, especially nowadays. There are plenty of good sci-fi pieces that got five years. It would also tie in (albeit irrelevantly) with Kirk's five-year mission. Seeing Archer's rather diverse five-year happenings sounds cool, not that I wouldn't have preferred seven.
But you know, despite all that I'm still somewhat pleased. Knowing that the show might not have even gotten that fourth year, biting my nails everyday for updates on the situation. I was there for the Farscape and Firefly campaigns too and even though none of those victories were absolute or even irrefutably ours there was still a great sense of accomplishment when the limited good news came in.
For Farscape it was the miniseries. For Firefly, the movie. And for Enterprise? Why, a whole 'nother season. And damn, what a season it was.
Wonderful Enterprise video Christopher thanks for posting it here!
