SAVE ENTERPRISE RALLY February 25, 2005

On February 2, 2005 United Paramount Network announced the cancellation of Star Trek ENTERPRISE. This short video features footage taken of the rally organised just a few weeks' later, together with interviews from Scott Bakula (Captain Archer) and Connor Trinneer (Chief Engineer "Trip" Tucker). Unfortunately at this time, Paramount's television division was preparing to merge with CBS and Enterprise suffered because of a change in management. Additionally the series no longer fit in with a TV network shifting its focus away to a predominately young female audience. While low rated by the standards of UPN, the show had an equal audience to other sci fi shows such as Battlestar Galactica. The demonstration, together with countless hand written letters and emails, were ignored and the show ended its production run. A poorly regarded series finale was broadcast on May 13, 2005. Despite that Season Four (like the previous year long arc) remains a firm favourite with fans and creatively the story possibilities were endless for Season Five... Jeffrey Combs as Shran joining the regular cast. The culmination of this series' Birth of the Federation arc, dovetailing with the Earth-Romulan War. As well as exploring many other historic milestones leading up to the Original Series, never before exploited to any great effect in a modern Star Trek series.

We can only dream what might have been... :(

SAVE STAR TREK ENTREPRISE

[MGazT]

@machielste1 I love Enterprise, but the problem I have with other star trek series is that the episodes don't interconnect very well between each other. But in Enterprise you feel like there is an on going story, a master script. rather than individual story's that have no real bearing or consequence on what happened last week or the week after. I do like the other trek series, but not as much as enterprise.

[shawho]

It does suck. I was really hoping they'd get into the whole romulan war section of the trek history D=

Well i just got the hole series and im quit saddened that they never made more series this was such a good show to watch it done very well as for jj abrams movie *Star Trek* its ok but it doesn't even connect to the other series MAKE ANOTHER STAR TREK SERIES OR CONTINUE THIS ONE! i would say its not to late

@brucekirk89 yea, personally I really like the last SG Universe series, but the first two, SG1 and SGA were rubbish compared to Star trek enterprise.

Its a shame I really liked this show

@martinf74 The new BSG sucked ass more than a gay porno.

Yeah it's too bad Enterprise wasn't supported by fans as much as the other series. Watching it now on line, I find I like it better now than when it was actually on the air. I think the show would have gone over big if it had been aired at 10:30PM CDT like STNG was. Primetime just doesn't lend itself well to sci-fi fans. Star Gate originally aired after STNG and that's how I got hooked on it too. It's tough being a Trekkie in primetime when other people want to watch something else.

@rvgmuhs07 "Trek series got better as time went on"

that's it star trek is evergreen

[martinf74]

It was sad that Enterprise went off the air. However, after we got Battlestar Galactica and that turned out to be a great show thanks to Ronald D Moore.
