Found this article at the TrekToday website: January 19, 2004 - 4:03 PM An anonymous source revealed that executives at Star Trek: Enterprise are trying to save the show from cancellation, and that this may include taking the show to another network. This anonymous source spoke to Cinescape's Patrick Sauriol about the atmosphere on the Enterprise set. "Star Trek's executives...are running on 'Red Alert' mode to save Enterprise from cancellation doom, and this may include shopping the show to another network or cable channel," the source revealed. According to the source, the cancellation of Jake 2.0 was unexpected, as both it and Enterprise had been promised full seasons. "Apparently, Trek staffers were assured by higher-ups at UPN, including people in Les Moonves's office, that Enterprise and Jake 2.0 were safe," the source said. "After all, Jake 2.0 was signed to complete this season's run of episodes." Just last month, the news broke that Enterprise's number of episodes was going to be cut down from 26 to 24, and that the show might be moving to Friday nights. However, the Friday night news was dismissed as an incorrect rumor and denied by UPN. However, now rumors of a schedule change seem to be resurfacing. "With the hammer coming down on Jake this week, in addition to the 'trimming' of UPN's order of Enterprise episodes this season, Star Trek's executives fear the promises given were disingenuous at best," the source said. This also comes on the heels of UPN's recent refusal to comment about the future of the show. To read the original story, visit Cinescape. |

Time to put something here
|
want my opinion? I don’t believe any this for one simple fact, UPN doesn’t have anything better to put into the enterprise timeslot. Where it fact that UPN had great line ups Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and Enterprise was weighing the whole station down, I would be worried. But the fact is Enterprise (even with how bad its doing) Is still the best thing UPN has, as for as shows go, they aren’t going to axe it. As for Jake 2.0 being canceled and how that’s going to effect enterprise. If you recall during voyagers run, they had a plethora of shows trying to get the "I don’t want to get up and change the channel" views from voyager. Non of them stuck around for more then two years and it didn’t effect voyager in the slightest. I think this anomies source is ether trying to get the buzz out about Enterprise in a publicity stunt to make wayward fans come back. “to save the franchise”. Or is a low man on the totem-poll not privy to the real facts and is worried he is going to lose his job because he sees enterprise is not doing well. Also I make it a habit never to believe an anemones informant. |

I would be a happy camper if Enterprise went to some other network besides UPN.
I realize it's just a rumor right now, but one can hope...

Jake 2.0 is getting the axe? Too bad. I was just getting into that show.
Enterprise probably won't get cancelled anytime soon. The network would probably move it to another night for at least one season before they decided to cancel it. At least this is the trend that I have noticed with other shows that are on their way out the door. The networks move the show out of a popular timeslot (move a new show in), and test to see if the ratings dip down even more or if the show can be squeezed for one or two more seasons (which isn't usually the case). CBS did this with JAG at the beginning of this season. It was on Tuesdays at 8:00pm, but it was moved to Fridays at 9:00pm to make way for this really boring Navy NCIS spin-off with Mark Harmon....ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz. NCIS characters have the chemistry of a rock. Anyway, JAG probably still gets decent ratings...but I suspect many are having to tape the show, like myself, and then watch it later. The show is obviously winding down some and has maybe one more season after this one. Unless the decision has already been made to not renew for another season. <_< Hmmm...that would explain the storylines this season. I am not going to put much stock in the rumors yet. I suspect that the show will first get moved for a season or two, then get cancelled if the ratings do not pick up.

I haven't seen Jake 2.0 yet, I haven't even seen Firefly yet. It doesn't surprise me that Enterprise is slipping. Is it me or was the lastest episode for me a remake of Geneisis and the aliens look like Egeib? |

Here's further news regarding the Enterprise series (also from TrekToday): January 20, 2004 - 6:37 AM Executive producer Rick Berman reiterated that he expects the Xindi arc to last until the end of this season of Star Trek: Enterprise, but remained vague on the possibility that it could last into a fourth season. In issue 113 of Star Trek Magazine, formerly Star Trek: Monthly (via Sci-Fi Pulse), Berman spoke about the upcoming episodes "Harbinger", "Doctors Orders" and "Hatchery", all of which will air on UPN in the next several weeks. "So far as next season, I think that the Xindi arc may very well play itself out this year. But not necessarily." He added that he hoped to address the founding of the Federation before the series finished its run. Read more from Berman, including his comments on his limited convention appearances, at Sci Fi Pulse. Well, yes, I certainly hope we see something about the founding of the Federation before Enterprise is finished -- that's what I was expecting all along! |

^^^ With the way things have been going, if it happens at all, it will probably be in the last 15 minutes of the last episode of the last season. :rolleyes: But, better late than never! :lol: |

That would be 12 minutes more than B&B dedicated to the Voyager series finale (the actual being present in the Alpha Quadrant). :lol: Talk about one anti-climactic series finale. <_< |

I have a theory that Berman and Braga is doing it unpurpose, reason Berman has said in the [ast he wanted to do other shows besides Star Trek. This could be the reason it is being so badly done and being dumbed down. |

Now thats what Im talkin a-bout! Bring it on, some complex story of a war that causes the founding of the federation, thats what Enterprise needs. Dump this Xindi tripe, I have been waiting for the creation of the Federation since Broken Bow. |

There may be a connection between the Xindi and the Romulan War, which in turn leads to the founding of the Federation...

True, SB... but I really don't think B&B have thought that far ahead. |

When they decided to make a prequel, people assumed they would cover the founding of the Federation. They never really said it, but it would seem to make sense. Now, three years later, the series is not doing well. Season 3 is getting only a slightly better rating than S2 - but that's largely because S2 was so uninspired. As far as I can tell, the Xindi aren't all that fearsome - they just are beating the Enterprise crew (but then who couldn't???) If - and that's becoming a bigger IF as time goes on - they get the go ahead for Season 4, why not do stories on the founding of the Federation? It can't get worse and just may get better. I've said this a lot, but I'll say it again. I liked "Broken Bow". After Voyager, I thought it brought a bit of an edge back to Star Trek. However, I never expected the Earth's only Warp 5 vessel to leave Earth on a meandering, apparently without purpose two-year voyage that never showed the post-WWIII Earth or gave any indication of how humans pulled themselves back from the brink. Much like Voyager, a decent premise has been squandered and I have actually gotten to the point of expecting cancellation. |

One word: Syndication. No being beholden to propping up a weak network (UPN). If they try to take it to another major broadcast network (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, or WB), who would air it? Given it's ratings record is there another major broadcast network that thinks this show has legs? Cable may be a viable alternative. Spike TV? That might mean more massage scenes for T'Pol... Sci-Fi? A good chance, but I suspect it would be only to wrap the series up. Where else? Who knows... Edit: Heck take it to pay cable and quit tiptoeing around with the massage scenes all together...

Arc, what Arc? :rolleyes: I've tried to like this season, and some aspects of the show have improved, but on a whole, I'm having a hard time liking it. The writers said they wanted to do an arc this season and bring on a threat, so what do they do? They tell us what this threat is, and keep doing stand alone stories that don't matter in the future. They don't tell us why the Xindi want humanity destroyed, what thier motives are, or why the hell this season is happening in the first place. And than we have last week when they erased the Xindi data. Great, now we get to replay the first half of the season all over again? This is my main problem and why I don't like this show. I want to "Learn thy enemy." Who are the Xindi? What do they want? Why are they portrayed in the manner they are? What are thier motives? The season is half over, and we don't know a damn thing about this group. As for ENT getting a forth season, I think trek needs a brake. Either that or move the show into syndication. I want ENT to improve, I really do. I just don't think it will happen any time soon. |
