Star Trek: Enterprise has been canceled

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.

And whose fault is that? Hmm?

Consider yourself lucky. If you didn't like VOY, there is no way you're going to like another Trek show with Brannon Braga and Rick Berman as executive producers, i.e., Enterprise.

I don't watch a lot of tv.

I never watched this.

It doesn't make me sad or happy, but does give me some hope that when the female lead companies that there's no writing involved, that perhaps the next Trek series won't blatantly try to rely on sex to sell.

Um. That was one of the key selling points of the original series. LOTS of scantily-clad women running around, chasing Kirk and trying to get into bed with him. And some succeeding.

If they do another series, they should do one focused around a different race. A series based on the Klingon race would rock as ratings show that everytime an ep involves Klingons it gets high ratings. Just my 3 cents of course.

Just as long as they don't make Klingons suck. All the Klingon related Trek shows I've seen have usually rocked!

I still like it from DS9's "Trials and Tribbilations" where Odo asks Worf abt the Classic Trek Klingons....

Worf: ::growls:: We. Don't. Talk. About. It.

Heck. I've got all sorts of TNG and DS9 tapes stacked up. I've downloaded some Enterprise and DS9 off the 'net to watch on the comp. One day, burn those to disk where, hopefully, be easier to access than the tapes. I think I have Voyager taped as well along with the DS9. And it's hard to find the right ep as my bf at the time didn't label the titles, just the dates he'd taped them. Which is a pain......

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.

Stargate's a comedy? That's a fresh take on the show. I've never really seen the show as a comedy myself. The movie the show was based wasn't a comedy either. The thing is I always found the idea of aliens building the pyramids to be ludicrous myself, but Stargate took that basic premise and made a good movie and tv series out of it. And it's fun to see the occasional lighthearted episode that pokes fun at Sci-Fi in general.

Hercules was meant from the beginning to be campy and silly. Ever see the second Herc movie, "Hercules and the Lost City"? That is so cheesy, with fake rubber and computer generated monsters and lame dialogue. But it was written to be cheesy in the first place which make it kind of fun to watch. And Herc was versitle enough to be able to to the occaisional serious episode.

Unfortunately, there will be an episode that will reveal and answer the question, "Why did TOS Klingons have smooth head but the rest have ridgeheads?"

As a Fan of All Things Klingon, I am not happy about this exposé.

I mean, why answer that mystery question? Keep it a mystery. I like my Klingons tall, dark, and mysterious. Not a frakkin' open book!

I remember a recent episode:

(Unexpected bit of backstory revealed)

O'Neil (blinks):
"Did I miss an episode?"

There is only one true Star Trek, all others are pale comparisons to The Original Series.

There is only one true Star Trek, all others are pale comparisons to The Original Series.

And there is only one true Star Trek episode, "Spock's Brain."

Here's where I stand on the sci-fi thing:

Farscape is the measure by which I guage all sci-fi anymore. On a scale of 1-10, Star Wars is a 10 and Farscape is an 11. Other sci-fi? It varies wildly.

Babylon 5... never been able to watch an entire episode without falling asleep, so I couldn't justly rate it. Andromeda... mega-crap. I wouldn't call it Hercules in space, because that would be an insult to Hurcules.

DS9 and VOY are what I consider low-points in the Star Trek saga. Both were generally more entertaining than whatever else was on TV at the time, simply because of genre, but I could never get into either one. They were just boring.

TOS and TGN were the good Trek series, if you hit a good episode, which was most of the time with TOS and about half the time with TGN.

Enterprise? It's the only Trek series since TOS where I've been able to stomach most of the episodes. I LIKED Enterprise. Still do. Good characters (Archer & Phlox somewhat, but especially Trip & T'Pol) make the show, and I'll be sorely disappointed if the Save Enterprise campaign fails as badly as the Save Farscape campaign did (which is likely, so I suppose I have sore disappointment to look forward to). On the plus side, everything I've heard about the upcoming episodes sounds very, very good and once the show gets past the admittedly marginal Andorian/Tellerite/Romulan arc, it's shaping up to be some of the best trek since TNG. The "Why Klingons have flat foreheads" arc, the mirror-universe 2-parter, and the whole convoluted Trip/T'Pol bond & baby thing prove that at least the show will go out on a high note and I won't be the only one sorry to see it go.

Stargate... it's good stuff. Always entertaining, and that's what counts, not realism (it's sci-FI, for cryin' out loud). You watch the show because O'Neill is funny, T'ealc and Dr. Jackson are sometimes funny, because Maj. Sheppard is a blatant O'Neill wannabe, and Dr. McKay is actually funnier.
