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."

  1. Star Trek sucks by Sivaram_Velauthapill · · Score: 0, Troll

    Let's admit it: Star Trek sucks. True sci-fi fans will only watch it for fun. Most Star Trek fans are casual mainstream fans who are not into sci-fi. Shows like Babylon 5 were 100x better.

    And worst of all... the Star Trek films. Man, they suck really badly. No true sci-fi fan would be caught watching them over Contact, 2001:ASO, Solaris, or the few other sci-fi movies.

    Also, Star Trek society is very authoratarian society. Has anyone noticed how doctors or engineers are below commanders? Yep, Star Trek is a classist society taken to the extreme. Modern world is 100x better (even for the suffering) than Star Trek. Star Trek is also fake in that sense it does not show the downside of humanity (eg. homeless, organized criminals, etc)--yes these people will exist in the future (if it is a classist society like Star Trek). On top of all that, how come most aliens are humanoids and behave just like humans? It's almost as if aliens didn't even exist?

    You're probably too young to remember this, but Patrick Stewart was a prominent player in I, Claudius, and that is when *I* first heard of him.

    Perhaps you should limit your challenge to Americans, who are generally so self-involved that they can't be troubled to remember anything of their own culture/history, let alone that of others.
