Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled

jkcity writes "According to Cinscape.com The Star Trek Enterprise set is awash with rumour that it will not be renewed for a 4th season, It was previous told it was safe by UPN but so was Enteprise's lead-out show Jake 2.0 which was just Cancelled. Star Trek: Enterprise has also been reduced to 24 episodes this season by UPN, things don't look good for the Star Trek Television Franchise and after the flop of Star Trek: Nemesis it could be many years before we ever see any new Star Trek outside of books."

I have to disagree about DS9. The first few seasons, yes, it was very weak. But, Berman and crew went to go concentrate on Voyager and pretty much abandoned DS9 around the 4th season, and let them do whatever they wanted. From that point on, the show went to new hights. Some fantastic writing, a serial storyline, and some great acting took DS9 to places that Trek hadn't been before. I'd say that the last 3 seasons of DS9 were some of the best sci-fi on TV, except no one was watching anymore.

And don't even get me STARTED on Star Trek timeline continuity.

I remember hearing that historical events were changed in Star Trek: First Contact in such way that the events in Enterprise are not events that took place in TNG's past. That is, TNG and Enterprise are in two different timelines. That is a convenient way to not be restrained by TNG's past events. They can now do pretty much whatever they want to with the series.

Yes, they were virtual unknowns.

Patrick Stewart was a virtual unknown, if you conflate being on US television with being an actor. He'd done little US TV or film work, but he'd been in a number of *extremely* well known BBC series in Britain: "I, Claudius"; "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"; "Smiley's People"; and been with the Royal Shakespeare Company for 20 years before Star Trek, as well as working with the National Theatre.

Iron chef was in something like its 8th season when it was cancelled. It really had had its run. And, as another poster noted, Japanese production companies are not like American production companies. They tend to go out while the show is big, instead of making you cringe when you hear the cast of friends has signed on for their 26th season at 30 million an epsiode.

Great research!

Wow, journalism is getting better all the time... an anonymous person writes a note to cinescape telling them he's heard the people on the set are worried about getting cancled... wow - that's some cool research right there!
