Star Trek: Enterprise Cancelled!

After four seasons, Star Trek: Enterprise has reached the end of its mission ...

PRESS RELEASE

UPN and Paramount Network Television have jointly announced that this will be the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise on UPN. [Production will continue until the end of this season, which will finish shooting in March.] The series finale will air on Friday, May 13, 2005.

"Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction," said Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, UPN. "We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers."

David Stapf, President of Paramount Network Television, said, "The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. We are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future."

A prequel to the original "Star Trek" series, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE premiered on UPN on Sept. 26, 2001, and aired for its first three seasons on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). On Oct. 8, 2004, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE moved into its current time on Fridays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). Through its four-year run, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE produced a total of 98 episodes and earned four Emmy Awards.

I rarely missed any of seasons 1-3, but they way they ended season 3 and started season 4 was a ***?!?! moment. I've seen very little of season 4 since that, and nothing since Brent Spiner's 3-show arc. It was a good show with a good scenario, but the writing is what killed it.

Isn't it about time to lay this franchise to rest?

[Dawn]

I'm going to miss it. :cry: The writing might not have been the greatest, but I actually liked it more than any of the other StarTrek's. :tilt:

I'm glad they gave them time to make a series finale instead of waiting until May to announce it and leaving it on a cliff hanger. :ok:

I agree.... another long break might bring about some fresh ideas.

Just read this on the BBC entertainment pages...

Which'll no doubt read similar to the press release details! :roll:

I kinda enjoyed this series at first but to be honest, I've abrely watched anything of the second series onwards. Partly 'cos of the times and channels it's shown on here but partly through loss of interest!

The best bit of Enterprise was that they actually had some totty in the form of Conner Trinneer (Tucker!) but otherwise, it kinda never launched itself into the realms of even Voyager!

Time for the Star Trek Franchise to hang up it's uniform? Quite possibly but I doubt we've heard the last of them. Where there's a culture like the Star Trek fans, there's bound to be new ideas, though whether they'll be money grabbing or actually good we'll have to see...

I am not surprised that Enterprise ended so soon. Though I am a big Star Trek fan, I thought they had made too many mistakes in Enterprise. The writers and SF people needed to go through the other series' episodes more thoroughly before they did alot of the stuff that was done.

[McClance]

Yeah... I read the news too. :cry:

At first, I was shocked. Then, I shed a tear. Next, I began growling and cursing those blasted executives. A few seconds after that, I felt as though I was spitting flames. I was ANGRY!!

Enterprise is the only show that I really watch on TV these days. It was also the first series ever that I really began trying to watch from the 1st episode. I've seen about half of Season 1, all but 3 episodes of Season 2, and every episode from Seasons 3 and 4. I don't think this is the end, though. Merely a set back. I'm thinking that Enterprise could continue on the big screen like the original crew.

Either way, I think a Pern television series is needed more than ever now.
