[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2175929, member: 177"] Unless and until they give names for those "people at Paramount" that they claim to have been in talks with, I'm not apt to believe them much. And I suspect that announcement is simply wrong in saying that politics at Paramount are the reason. Sorry, but if the show were apt to make enough money, the politics would swing Enterprise's way. But since the show didn't find it's legs soon enough, viewership has slipped too low. Three and a fraction million dollars might fund a couple of episodes, but it doesn't do enough to change the overall profitability much. Canada? Canada? Talking to Paramount about moving to Canada without talking to the actors first is just stupid. Actors are people too, and would likely resist moving away for a year for a failing TV show. That being said, I think that fan-funded production isn't such a bad idea, in general. The only problem is getting enough of them on board at once to make it work. [/QUOTE]
