Star Trek: Enterprise has been canceled

[S'mon]

With any luck, if and when Paramount decides to try out a new Star Trek series, they'll keep Berman and Bragga FAR, FAR away from it!

My thoughts exactly. Those guys were poison to Enterprise.

Hercules. In. Space.

Alien damsel in distress: I don't know, I really don't think I should have sex with you.

Dylan: Nonsense, it'll help your planet! You want to help your planet don't you?

Alien damsel: Yeah, you're right. Ok, I'll do it.

Re Stargate SG-1; it's primarily a comedy show that spends most of its time satirising itself and the genre in general. And unlike Hercules & Xena it does this consistently well. I love it. OTOH SG: Atlantis lacks the humour and my wife & I gave up on it after 1 ep.

Westerns used to be a drama staple, but are basically dead these days.

Deadwood. That was a great show - I hope it gets a second season.

We had enormous fun taking bets on how many seconds into the episode we'd have to wait for the 'c' word.

See, that never really bothered me. The TCW plot element was more lame than the Klingon by far. I know fans thought putting the Klingons in Enterprise was a bad idea, but I don't really think it was. Klingons are one of the most well known species in Trek, even the mundanes have heard of Klingons. So I don't think it was unreasonable.

Broken Bow kinda bothered me as well from the beginning. IIRC the contact between the Klingons and the humans was supposed to be disasterous, Archers trip to Kronos was hardly that.

I think now that the show is showing some *umph* from writing by Manny Cotto and the Stevens. But from the start, Berman and Braga kinda did the same old thing without regards to TOS and it was a SHAME.

Peronally, I dont think Trek needs a break. If there was some decent writing without all the techobabble like Galactica or Farscape then the show would prosper. But Berman and Bragas hands all over Trek ruins it IMHO. Ronald Moore and Manny Cotto together would make Enterprise shine.

oh well, the last few episodes weren't that bad, and I like all the characters and actors too.

bah! ... I wish they could go back and undo Voyager and replace it Enterprise!

Ain't that the truth!!! Voyager sucked major ass! I'd have watched Enterprise had it been on better nights. Wednesdays and Saturdays (when it airs here) are bad nights for me. And, even if I tape it, I don't go back and watch the tapes. I'm lazy that way. And have forgotten to tape it since season 1 ended.

Well, there were a few episodes that featured that (e.g., "Wormhole X-Treme!") but it can't be helped. The DeLuise Brothers pretty much took over the script writing and sometimes directing. Of course, any old geezers here would know of their patriarch, Dom DeLuise, who often starred in comedy films with Burt Reynolds. The younguns might remember 21 Jumpstreet, a cop show about narcs in school, a launching point for Johnny Depp.

I agree, yet SG-1 managed to entertain me than Enterprise's first 3 seasons. It does not make me feel like I have wasted one hour a week. For some reasons, I can stomach Colonel O'Neill's dry humor.

I agree with this as well. As much as I refuse to accept that SG-1 "raised the bar for sci-fi"...it's still better than Enterprise. A lot better.

Looks like the artist from Real Life didn't like it either.
