The sooner the better. We are now six days from 'X' day, when they annouce if Enterprise is renewed or not. There is an enormous amount of 'save enterprise' web sites and letter thing, but Trek had been able to do that for years for its shows.

I wonder just how accurate the ratings are, I bet more people watch then the rating services say.

Trust me, we are *very* close to actually seeing the birth of the Federation, so close that it doesn't matter if the show gets renewed or not. Trust me.

According to the always accurate insider "Morpheus" from the TrekBBS, Daniels will, for some reason, take Archer ahead seven years into the future to witness or just show him the signing of the Federation charter.

Hey, RatBoy! That doesn't count!!!

I meant I'd like to see it happen in Enterprise over the next few seasons, with episodes in between with infighting among Earth, Vulcan, Andoria, and Tellar, with the Klingons doing the Soviet thing to our incipient interstellar NATO and the shadowy Romulans doing the Red China thing to both!

(Hint hint to Paramount!)

Looks like the end.

If there is ever another Trek, I hope they will be smart, and go the syndicated route that TNG and DS9 followed to enormous suscess. Both of those shows were outside of Neilson's suspect rating system.

It is even possible Enterprise could be taken over for syndication, ever since UPN network got its hooks into Trek, its been lack-luster.

Perhaps the only good that comes of it is Paramount will allow companies like Taldren to again produce Trek games with interference, and the Thoilians and Andromedains will finally arrive, and another game will allow playable Kardassian and Dominion ships.

I am much of the opinion that Neilson Ratings are quite outdated even with the introduction of demographic sorting of ratings shortly after Kaiser Broadcasting started guessing about Star Trek would be most popular to the male teens and 20s demographic and when would be the best time to appeal to them back in nineteen seventy-something. It's stupid to have such small sampling ratings when, courtesy of the internet, you can increase the sampling exponentially. Also Syndication is much better for a Trek show. Star Trek tends to have a cult type following. It's not like a series one normally makes for a network. And if nothing else, I hope the next Trek series is done by fans, rather than B&B. Those two pay too much attn to the bottom line and not enough to the quality of the shows.

There is one enormus factor in favor of another year, one more season will put the number of shows past the magic 100 episodes that are needed for profitable rerun packages.

I sure would love to see the show out of UPN and B&B's control.

All of here, at this board, could write a better episdoe guidline then what they use.

Old rumors. Look, nothing from the people in the know (people who work on the show) indicates that it has been cancelled, which if it has been, I gurantee there would be plenty of word about it online right now. So, unless UPN decides to reverse itself dramatically next week, so dramtically that none of the actors, staffers, and leakers see it coming or know ahead of time, ENT will be back.

FFZ · « **Reply #32 on:** May 14, 2004, 10:24:25 pm »

It's not as if UPN has great shows to replace, the list in Variety sounds like a bore fest.

I also think people will tire of reality shows, I think they suck, but no fad lasts forever.

I'd like to see Ent continue for one more season and then come out with a new Star Trek Series. This one should be cannon, with a Constitution or Sovereign class starship exploring the galaxy. They need to remember why TOS/TNG/DS9 worked and look at why Ent did not. (at least as well).

Kick B&B out, get some new writers and FIRE them if they contradict prior art.

About this 'Birth of the Federation' thing...space battles and wars are all nice and great for a while, but I think the fans are really wanting to know about this unknown chapter in Trekkie lore. There has been really nothing about this in any of the shows, so it should be easy enough to come up with a consistant and believable plot - not this time travelling pap again.

Anyway, I have a TNG nit-pickers guide, and that touched on the subject about Star Trek's general ethintricity (I think) and the guy wanted to know whether the humans really spun the Federation into motion or just joined it when they came of age.

Anyway, what about the Andorians? In TOS, they were quite an aggressive species, but they wanted access to the Federation....

I smell...bull.....something or other

FFZ · « **Reply #36 on:** May 17, 2004, 01:07:58 pm »

According to "Journey to Babel" Andorians, like Tellerites and Orions, were member races of the Federation. We have yet to see Tellerites.
