Apparently so....

Not really much of a surprise. The ratings were bad and not improving.

Who cares?  The show didn't hold a candle to BSG.

Oy.  Last season it improved quite a bit and this season it got even better.  And there was promise of a Romulan War.

And you guys are happy it got canned.

I for one hope there'll be some kind of mind change and allow the series to continue as it looks like they are exploring some very interesting storylines.

Damnit, no more Hoshi, and I never got to hear Bakula say  "Oh boy."
The series wasn't all that great, but Hoshi was hot.  Super hot.  I shall miss her.

On a side note, I saw this coming a while back.  I've noticed that shows that start out or are moved to friday nights on UPN are slated for the dump heap, and are often lucky to make it one season like that.  Friday nights seem like a dead zone for UPN.

Really.  Can't stand BSG.  Too much "god this" and "god that" for my liking....and the scripts.  Terrible.

I haven't had the chance to watch it for quite a while, but I have hear that it has improved. I jsut find that thanking B&B is downright stupid. They are the ones who killed Trek.

Throwing it on Friday was the worst. it had to go up against Scifi Fridays with the SG-1 and Atlantis lineup. They had to know it was going to be slaughtered by these two in the ratings.
Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

That would probably be a major improvement over UPN.

Then they could play TOS four or six times a day that would be nice.
