Blimey, its even made the front page of the BBC News site.

BBC News

Yeah but WTF is this description from BBC regarding the pilot:

"Set 100 years before Captain James T Kirk and his crew set off on their first mission, Enterprise made its UK debut on Sky One in 2002.

Its opening show featured former Quantum Leap star Bakula taking charge of a new crew and having a romantic liaison with a Vulcan sub-commander."

Huh???? :wtf: I can't even begin to fathom what it was they were describing except perhaps they don't even know the difference between Bakula and Trinneer, nor what the context of the Decon chamber was supposed to be. :rolleyes:
 
Enterprise was not the best show on TV, but it was better than many. Enterprise was not even the best Star Trek, but after three tough seasons, it was starting to be Star Trek in its fourth year. RIP STE.

PS: I'll miss the gazelle speaches the most.
 
My sentiments exactly. :(

it is the end, sad day.

good luck and thank you to everyone involved with the show.

Is there ANY chance Paramount might find another outlet for this show to keep it on the air?

Only if we as fans can show Paramount there is still a large Star Trek fan base ready and willing to watch. We can do this by sending letters of support for Enterprise. If your not a fan of Enterprise then send your letter of support for Star Trek in general. Show your support by purchasing DVDs, Books, etc. Go to conventions and support fan films.
 
UPN is a worthless network.

What's really frustrating though is that the series is FINALLY living up to its potential as a prequel this year, and they only get one year to do it. I liked seasons 1-3 and all, but the storylines could've been set in the 25th century just as easily. Season 4 finally feels like what Enterprise was supposed to be. And now it's over.

Oh my god, They killed Enterprise. You bastards!

The context of the Decon chamber - for those unclear - was to be a ratings stunt and a bit of blue.

Anyway, I thought about this and I realised that after watching the season finale of Stargate Atlantis and the second part of the latest SG1 episode that I don't really care. The sad thing is that NEM and ENT served as my divorce lawyers from the Trek franchise. The first was an abomination and the second was consistently mediocre and frequently boring. It had pciekd up a bit recently but mostly my being self referential which is not something that is going to excit the ratings - merely the Trek fans who already watch. The even sadder thing is that if something like the new battlestar was cancelled I would be really annoyed but this news fails to get any emotion at all.

Well, I woke up on my birthday morning to receive this oh-so-thoughtful present from Paramount.

Fuck them. And fuck Berman and Braga and the way they let the Trek universe rot over the last few years. Fuck their tits and ass strategy. Fuck their rehashed stories. Fuck their conservative, plodding, formulaic story-telling.

What pisses me off the most is that they put together this show, this show with a talented cast, this show with great potential and great stories, and so badly executed parts of it that it had to go before its time. I'd sooner they'd left it a while and done a proper job from the start. Now I'm furious that they got us hooked on a premise that they have been unable to properly deliver :mad: :mad: :mad:

Ah. The hell with it :(
Happpy Birthday. I hope the rest of your day gets better.

Dear Mogh,

I too am ******celebrating****** my birthday. And this is the fuckest gift I have ever received.

Not that I'm criticizing...but just to put things into perspective, a teenage daughter of a friend of mine had her 16th birthday on 9/11. :( It could be a lot worse.
 
I guess I'm just taking this a bit easier than many because I'm a Browncoat, first and foremost... Firefly DID get screwed by a network, so it's easier for me to see that sort of thing when it happens.

I think the Enterprise situation is the exact opposite of what happened to Firefly. Enterprise was the victim of producers who didn't care, while Firefly had a producer who very much cared but was on a network determined to kill the show in the cradle.

So as I've said before, I don't think UPN is to blame, but frankly, there's nothing else I'm interested in on that network, either...so unlike the active boycott against Fox, I'm just not watching UPN due to a simple lack of interest.

But for those who want to save Enterprise, well, don't give up. We Browncoats can tell you that doing the impossible can make you mighty. :)

Today is my birthday too, Mogh. And to be honest, I'm not upset. No offense to the Enterprise fans, but for me Star Trek has been shit since the end of DS9. The last two series have lacked originality and passion, and thanks to the Killer B's I haven't been excited about Trek in the last five years.

Trek has lived for over 40 years, but it's finally lived out it's usefulness. It's time to let go and enjoy some other shows.
 
My personal, official EAT SHIT AND DIE list;

*UPN
*Les Moonbeam
*UPN
*PARAMOUNT
*UPN

Finally, last but definitely not least, all you giddy little bashers who have done nothing but criticize Ent. for 4 years, and who are now undoubtedly peeing your little pants as you do a happy dance in your parents basements........

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Warning for trolling. You were fine until the last paragraph about the bashers.
 
With all the crap that flows through this forum, I don't see the problem with my post. Far worse has gone unchallenged. With all due respect, perhaps you will explain it to me!

Much of what ENT did was ratings stunts, in that case, a tacky, below-the-belt-one at that, which drove me to come back into 'net posting after seeing such nonsense week after week, to complain. However what my post was referencing was BBC's error regarding the events of the pilot.

Anyway, I thought about this and I realised that after watching the season finale of Stargate Atlantis and the second part of the latest SG1 episode that I don't really care.

Atlantis has been hit or miss and SG-1 is creeping on its last leg.

The sad thing is that NEM and ENT served as my divorce lawyers from the Trek franchise. The first was an abomination and the second was consistently mediocre and frequently boring. It had pciekd up a bit recently but mostly my being self referential which is not something that is going to excit the ratings - merely the Trek fans who already watch. The even sadder thing is that if something like the new battlestar was cancelled I would be really annoyed but this news fails to get any emotion at all.

IMHO, the lastest drek called BSG also needs to go by the wayside. It's incredible how Moore has managed to brainwash folks by simply stating certain fallacies enough times in the media that the weak-minded assume it's true, whereas in reality, the show is nothing more than a rehash of '80s television, retooled for the soundbite generation, and complete with shakey cameras, little or no plot or direction, and bad acting save for Olmos and McDonnell.

If this is what is supposed to be the watershed for sci fi, then count me out. I'll try "The 4400", when it premieres this summer.
 
Posted by Watch Commander:
If the words were good enough for Scotty, then I feel they are appropriate here "UP YOUR SHAFT". You are entitled to your opinion but obviously you have no compassion or sense to say what you say here and now. From my point of view I don't understand why the mods allow your kind of behavior to exist at all. Most well moderated forums would not even allow your vile bile to be seen.....in a general Trek or scifi site maybe, but in an "ENT" forum, very crude and unnecessaary. It is like having your neighbor come into your house and take a crap in the middle of the floor. Very disrespectful.

Sorry, Watch Commander, but I think this is going too far. Let the mods handle people when they post something out of line. The 'up your shaft' and the rest of this isn't apprpriate. Warning for trolling.

Taking a dig at the bashers and telling them to 'eat s**t and die' pretty much did it.
