UPN cancels Star Trek: Enterprise

I had my eyes on that blue chick in the last episode.

You mean Lieutenant Uhuru?

There are many series that have incredible longevity. Try to appreciate how long some soap operas like Days of Our Lives and The Young and Restless have been going.

These are your arguments for longevity? Have you ever seen them? They're horrific crap!

I'm all for longevity, but when a show concept is so bereft of ideas that it descends into the crap that was Enterprise, it needs at least a rest, if not euthanasia. Churning out crap under a series name defames even the good parts of the series (Star Wars, anyone?).

There's a lot to be said for going out on a high note and leaving people with the fond memories of a great show rather than dragging a show out until it's unbearable. Some ideas just run their course and that's that.

I had alot of hope for this series when it first came out, it was gritty and edgy and had a certain level of realism that the characters had on an emotional, humanistic level.

The other Star Trek series had that idealism and the characters didn't really have personalities.

But after a few shows, it seemed pretty flat, there was lots of potential for it to take alot of cool angles but it never seemed to go anywhere.

i had misgivings about the show from the start, but was willing to give it a chance.

after the first few continuity issues, though, i lost hope, and the writing, well...

lost interest, and personally, i find it an abomination.

maybe as a standalone series, completely unattached to star trek, it would have done fine; but that rubbish being attached to star trek only hurt both franchises--the former having extraordinarily high standards to live up to, and the latter being marred by a ****ty show.

My personal gripe is the whole time travelling thing.

Too bad-- They lost points with me with all the temporal war crap but this season I was really starting to get intrigued by the internal pre-federation stuff-- I thought there was a lot of good basics for storylines on the interplay and relationships between the species

Yep, they were doing quite well.

I mean that's really all they needed to do was work on that interplay you are talking about.

Thats when the Next Genreation was at its best was when the Federation got involved in the whole Klingon Civil War, etc.

Too bad...

I actually started to like it this season

Agreed-- time travel and miracle technical saves are ok but get pretty tired ( I always wondered why if the engineer knew a way to triple the shields or double the phase cannon power they ONLY do it during a crisis and never have it set up that way in the first place LOL)

The best storylines to me are always about characters-- Iliked much of the mutant line and I have really liked how they have developed a few characters from other species over several episodes-- So in all I am sad to see it go-- with all the time they wasted on temporal stuff I will see this series largely as an opportunity wasted

are you guys serious they used time travel in Enterprise? They only just found out about it in TOS. I don't see how they could have figured out how to do it in Enterprise.

I'm still trying to recover from the fact NBC cancelled the old series. It's a tough thing to get over.

I don't recall them using TOS method of slingshotting but they had a LOT of storylines involving people from the federations future OR other species that could time-travel and they tended to fling the Enterprise all over the space-time continuum

I was starting to like the relationship between the Vulcan chick and the captain.

It was nice to see her let her human emtional tendencies show when the Captain was confused and she showed compassion towards him on a personal level or offered him sound advice. It was a good Captain-First Officer team finally.

StarTrek (Kirk) - saw most as a kid
StarTrek (Picard) - some, but Picard was disappointing
StarTrek (DeepSpace9) - rarely saw, zzzzzzzz
StarTrek (Voyager) - rarely saw, don't care if they ever made it home
StarTrek (Enterprise) - rarely saw, eh
