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.

Show never quite got my attention.

 

[HeavyB3]

That sucks. Only show i watch on prime time right now.

The whole Star Trek franchise got stale. They need to lay low for while, maybe for 2 years and then maybe make up some new ideas. Star Wars lay low for a while and the fans ask for it so they deliver with new script and good new stories.

This show was a great idea, and i was so excited to see what they could do with it...unfortunately they failed....

I watched it for the first season, but then gave up on it. They just never got into what they could do with the show...

New stories--sure.

Good new stories--jury's still out.

 

[SirStefan32]

It was about time. Quality was not even close to the original series, TNG, Voyager, or DS9.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

What were they trying to do?

Sorry...i guess i mean, what they COULD have done with it...basically the first ever mission to outer space...before Kirk even.

They could have shown us entire new worlds., sort of like the original series. Not all the galaxy-wide politics that didn't exist back then.

I would have just loved to see them find a new planet every week...new aliens...etc.

I dunno, I think they really missed the boat. It could have been really good.

I have heard from many people that this season was actually very good--better than any season of Voyager or DS9. I don't know that for sure, since I don't watch it--but I like the premise.

Thats not a bad concept...the writers spent so much time going forward into the future they could have easily filled up the historical gaps such as 'first contact.' I woulda been all over that.

To bad they didn't have you in the brain storm meetings...

Note to Djaughe: Go Google Jolene Blalock.

Most people tell me that's why they watch the show.

Star Wars lay low for a while and the fans ask for it so they deliver with new script and good new stories.

Star Wars lost all of it's momentum from the first three films...Lucas made the fans wait 17 years only to frustrate them greatly with the bland trilogy which wraps up this year.

Then Lucas decided that wasn't enough heartbreak...he had to crush the longtime fans by NOT releasing the original trilogy as seen in theaters by so many.



AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Djaughe]

....

Quit beating around the bush...tell us how you really feel?

 

[arthurracoon]

I used to love watching "star trek: the next generation", but after that, the new attempts (ie: Enterprise) were just not as good.

As someone who has .avi of all of TNG, DS9, and Voyager, the first time I heard the theme song and saw such a pathetic cast, I severely lowered my expectations. Still, the Xindi conflict produced some decent episodes, but not enough to breath real life into the show. This season I stopped watching after the fifth or sixth episode with no desire to start watching again.

 

[Chaz]

That is disappointing.

I guess it never really took off. Besides basketball games it is the only network TV I really watch.

I watched it because it was Star Trek but the whole franchise has gone downhill since Gene passed away.

Voyager was ok, TNG was the best, never really watched DS9.

Have you ever seen her when she's not in her Vulcan getup? She's pretty freaking amazing.

 

[arthurracoon]

TNG was the best

Is that on TV anymore?

 

[Chaz]

Is that on TV anymore?

SpikeTV shows DS9 and TNG during the day.

That's one of the more "cleaner" pictures I found.

If they had her like that in the shows the series would never have been cancelled!

Season 3 was very good and Season 4 has been good thus far so bascially Enterprise is the best Star Trek has been since the end of Deep Space 9.... which in my opinion was the best of any of the shows. It sucks too because they were just getting into the Earth-Vulcan-Andorian-Tellerite war with the Romulans that brought these 4 races together and led to the formation of the Federation. I wanted to see that....
