Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled 1080
jkcity writes "According to Cinscape.com The Star Trek Enterprise set is awash with rumour that it will not be renewed for a 4th season, It was previous told it was safe by UPN but so was Enteprise's lead-out show Jake 2.0 which was just Cancelled. Star Trek: Enterprise has also been reduced to 24 episodes this season by UPN, things don't look good for the Star Trek Television Franchise and after the flop of Star Trek: Nemesis it could be many years before we ever see any new Star Trek outside of books."

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Enterprise's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Enterprise faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Enterprise because Enterprise is dying. Things are looking very bad for Enterprise. As many of us are already aware, Enterprise continues to lose viewers. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
The Star Trek franchise is the most endangered science fiction franchise of them all, having lost 93% of its core nerds. There can no longer be any doubt: Enterprise is dying.
All major surveys show that Enterprise has steadily declined in consumer confidence. Enterprise is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Enterprise is to survive at all it will be among sci-fi dilettante dabblers. Enterprise continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Enterprise is dead.
Fact: Enterprise is dying

The Tech. Series 1, episode 1.
Christopher Gorham is Jake Foley, a very ordinary technician who suddenly becomes a super hero when he is infected by a 'computer virus' then suddenly dissappears mid-season without rational explaination as Sky yet again bets on another dubious US import, you can only guess what would have happened next"

Odd numbered star treks suck.
No way around it, they just do.
5, incidentally, is so bad that most of us write it off as not having existed in the first place. I think one trekkie described it best when he said "Kirk and god compare egos, god loses."
1 can't even compare to that.

The writers threw out the concept of Human Sociatal Evolution which was supposed to be a major contributor to plot development in this series. When I first heard of the concept, I thought "awesome, lets see some hotheaded top-gun types handling the photon torpedo targeting!". It should have harkened back to scenes like classic Earth-Klin barfight scenes from the original star trek.
So, where they went wrong was having the sickeningly fair-minded Bacula for captain, when what they needed was a ego-maniacal, sex starved hedonist to play the part.
Now my idea for the next series is sure to succeed. Forget the federation, I want to see the crazy adventures of six 'buddies' (3 male, 3 female), who are in no way associated with the federation, and their only association with earth is that they are human. They have hilarious situations brought about by miscommunications, misplaced affections, and misguided sexual adventures.I think the market for this type of show is about to open up.

Espcially the episode where the Vulcan gets mad at the capt. because he said some disparaging remarks to save her life.
The few times I have seen the show, and the sme thought goes through my mind:
"God, I miss shatners acting."
and that ain't because Shatner was brillant.
maybe I'm just tired of 'Happy, Happy' sci-fi..
