It's been almost a full 24 hours since I read the news, and I'm STILL royally cheesed. Argggggggggh!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

ENTERPRISE dies. While abject, pandering crap like reality shows and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES are hits and people won't shut the F up about them. Boy, I dislike broadcast TV and the networks right now more than I have in a LONNNNNNG time. :scream: :scream: :scream: :scream:

The Dead Zone - Johnny and the crew keepin it real
I believe this was cancelled in the U.S, a while ago.

No, it has been renewed for a fourth, and longer, season. It just has an erratic schedule (many cable shows do, so they don't have to compete with network television).
 
Well . . . no new trek for anyone . . . even those that disliked the show.

It's funny how those that say they hated the show still feel bad about the cancellation. Kinda ironic if you ask me . . . they've been pushing for cancellations since session 1.

Like I have always said, At least new Trek is new Trek . . . well not anymore. :rolleyes:

A sad day indeed . . . :(

Yeah, I saw a part of that show and I wondered, "Why the hell is this show so popular?"

I came to the conclusion that I just don't share the opinion of the average joe. The majority of people do not seem intelligent to me.

Stargate SG-1 - About to get an injection of Browder Power

Stargate: Atlantis - Still Alive and kicking
Farscape and Ben Browder never did anything for me, and the Stargate franchise, while it has its moments, is a mere shadow of Star Trek.
Battlestar Galactica - Rocking the free world
A decent show, but not Enterprise in any respect.
Lost - High ratings + High praise = healthy run
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of this show; but its only tangentially sci-fi.
Doctor Who - Commin round the corner

Smallville - apparently still with us

The 4400 - Great stuff there

The Dead Zone - Johnny and the crew keepin it real

Carnivale - having fun during the Great Depression
Don't care about any of these.

Agreed. But they didn't so much "forget" about the viewers as "not give a damn." The way UPN has underpromoted ENT and(Bakula has admitted this much)felt that the show was a lead weight/albatross around its sorry neck, its a miracle the dumbass suits left the show on this long.

I mean...it doesn't have college girls eating worms, divorcees humping their neighbors or billionaires with bad hair firing trainees...so who cares, right?

:rolleyes: :mad: :scream:
 
I watch it religiously here in Argentina, and many of my friends too. We are currently in the 3rd season, but i got from the internet the others. I can´t explain how sad i am, not only because such an excellent series as ENT gets cancelled, but because it is such a blow to Star Trek that it is probably we wont see it for a long long time. Star Trek has been part of my life since i was born, i cant imagine how it will be without it.... I´m very very sad, and there´s not an emoticon sad enough to portray how i feel
 
I think we should focus on getting rid of the BB's now and start anew with fresh ideas for the next incarnation of Star Trek.

Tragic. I just started watching this one last week and was instantly addicted.

So sad but true. TPTB just don't have a clue. Roddenberry's son said it well

"I was on the lot yesterday, and I spoke with literally everyone," he said. "The feeling there is that CBS doesn't know what they have with Star Trek. They don't know what it's about, they don't know what it is. I thought Paramount had enough issues on how important the fans are, now we have to start all over again."

And heaven knows how difficult THAT is gonna be in this age of dumbed-down TV for idiots. Shows like ENT were the exception, not the rule. If the franchise has to start anew like it did back in '87 with TNG it may be quite a struggle to convince the one/two-dimensional money whores and suits at Paramount that the franchise still has life in it.

You'd think with all the money TREK has made for Paramount since TOS first went into syndication they'd get it by now. Stupid US for expecting them to think the way most normal, thoughtful people do. :rolleyes: :( :mad: :scream:
 
Sad. I really loved this show during seasons 1 and 2. But the entire Xindi war arc simply turned me off. I wish they had escalated confrontations with Romulans and focused more on the birth of the Federation. But even exploring those two avenues probably wouldn't have saved this show.

Unlike some of the bashers, I really have no cause to rejoice over this. I'm marking the calendar, February 3, 2005 as the day I found out that Trek was truly reaching its end.

:(

P.S.
Better grab some collectibles before the prices sky rocket.
 
From persons of the 1960s, it seems an abstraction -- a magician's trick on a darkened stage. And from this distance one might never imagine that it is alive. It first appeared on nbc over forty years ago in the form of serious sci-fi show. In an explosion of life spanning decades, the sequels and spinoffs multiplied... and then it stopped. on febuary 2, 2005 A.D nearly every form of televied trek was to be wiped off the planet, leaving the slot for the best sci fi series in the universe empty. Before this, people prostested, begged for ent to stay on air, but the apocolypse came anyway and wiped ent off the face of the earth.. 40 years ago, Gene Rodenberry had a vision, heignited that original spark. Is there a plan, a purpose or a reason to our existence? We know there is, to get trek of some sort on the airwaves, no matter what the cost, until then, the originals, and the 3 sets of 7 season shows, novels, etc, will attempt to fill the gap.

This is a dark day for everyone that loves trek, and dreams of a better future.

Or will our entertainment reappear through a sign, a symbol, a revelation, an intense writing campaign?

Those hooligans at UPN MUST, MUST know that most of the last season has been a smash hit, it would be suicide to drop it.

We need to do something... what, I don't know yet.

If anyone wants to talk, shoulder to cry on... msg me

My friend...

You are a verbose, intelligent and caring sage who GETS IT. Drinks, snacks and VHS copies of the first 70-odd ENT episodes are on me. ;) :cool:
 
I've never felt that ENTERPRISE possessed the same level of quality as the previous four TREK shows, so I'm not that surprised that it was cancelled before it could complete seven seasons. At least there are four seasons of episodes to enjoy in reruns and on DVD.

:borg:

Eh. While I can tell from your Tom/B'Elanna avatar that you are a big-enough VGR fan, I have to say that VGR doesn't stack up to most of ENT in vision and execution. While I like and respect VGR for the MOST part, it has been my least-favorite TREK show from Day One back in 1995. It had so much wild and woolly potential with the whole Delta Quadrant canvas and just degenerated into "TNG-Lite." Chakotay was just plain wasted for the most part. It had some great and good episodes...but on-balance I think it's still the runt of the TREK franchise.
