"The Rest is silence" - :loling:

Enterprise on Comedy Central ;)

The retooled show, under the new name Team Enterprise, will still feature the voice talents of Scott Bakula, Jolene Blalock, and most of the original cast. (Those who are not invited back to voice their character parts due to budget constraints will be invited to write an episode as compensation.)

Ni

NEE - noun. The most notable of the sacred words the knights are assigned to protect. The others are "Peng" and "Neee-Wom". All are infamous (but none more so than "Ni") for the unimaginable horror and fear they bring about, whether uttered by the knights or not.

Several New Star Trek Pilots Rejected

With all the talk of a new show, new movie, saving Enterprise, not saving Enterprise, etc, the franchise is obviously in a state of flux. In an effort to keep the Star Trek franchise going after the inevitable cancellation of Enterprise, Paramount has pooled together a variety of creative forces to find just the right formula for a sixth Trek series. Several pilots have been produced, but so far none have found the favor of network executives. Warning: Readers may notice a disturbing similarity to these concepts.

Some of those that didn't make the cut for next season include:

Desperate Yeomans ? A saucy look at the secret lives of five starship yeomans, each competing for the attention of their captain but never succeeding because he's always got eyes for the green or blue alien-chick-of-the-week. Though guaranteed to be a water-cooler conversation piece, the network rejected it due to concerns that the show's star, Grace Lee Whitney, "wouldn't appeal to our target demographic." Teri Hatcher, who would have reprised the role of "B.G. Robinson," turned down the offer due to a prior commitment.

The B.Q. ? A steamy space opera taking place in that sometimes-forgotten corner of Federation space, the Beta Quadrant. An attractive ion-surfing commander of an upscale space station with an attractively smart-mouthed son takes in an attractive Klingon delinquent. Sexual tension runs rampant as the two youths cross paths with the attractively troubled Romulan princess next door. The network sent back the pilot episode, requesting more attractive characters.

Ferengi Apprentice ? Former Grand Nagus Zek has retired from political life but still has a substantial financial empire, so he's looking to hire a young go-getter to run one of his large corporations. A multi-species slate of contestants line up for outlandish competitions, from who can sell the most jumja sticks to who can negotiate the best asteroid-terraforming contract. Using a Tantalus Field he brought back from the mirror universe, Zek eliminates contestants one by one with the phrase, "You're fried." Network executives rejected the show because they didn't like Zek's hair; plus, they were annoyed by an obnoxious contestant named Amargosa.

Betazoid Bachelorette ? A young dark-eyed beauty gets to select her future husband from ten handsome suitors. In the pilot, though, the fact that the woman knew everything the males were thinking and feeling pretty much took all the drama out of the show. Plus, the network was afraid of conservative backlash over the all-nude Betazed wedding planned for the season finale.

Fat Vulcan ? Kirstie Alley returns as Saavik, the Vulcan Starfleet officer who is still petitioning for a starship command despite the fact that she's put on quite a few pounds and can barely fit in a uniform. Cable executives actually liked the concept, but they retooled it a bit. Instead of a wannabe starship captain, they made Saavik a temporal operative disguised as a human, sent to early 21st-century Earth to pose as a struggling neurotic actress, in order to study the mores of the planet's pre-warp culture. Spock, who dabbles in photography of women as a sideline, has expressed displeasure with the show saying it is un-Vulcanlike and dishonest.

Just read the Mirror Universe one:

"What if I'm attracted to my Mirror Universe Twin?"

"Don't go there"

I think it is. But it doesn't really matter. You don't need to be logged on to read the April Fool's jokes.

Then you better do it soon. This day is almost over.

You do know a joke is no longer effective after 12 PM, no? :loling: :hail:

I'm sorry to say that I missed the April Fool's Day hoopla over at st.com this year. I didn't get a chance to visit the site before the 2nd and nothing was archived for later viewing (that I could find :shrug: ).

Oh well, there's always next year. :yes:

Looks like their website did not escape from the month of April unscathed ... some kind of server error has caused their site to revert back to what it was about 6 weeks ago. Could that be considered a belated April Fool's joke? All their news on their news page is dated from mid-March. The folks on the message boards are having fits because their post counts have been virtually wiped out.

LOL. Actually, if that occurred on this Board, some people would find that quite funny.
