UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise'

Posted by timothy on from the nelson-laughs-at-you-not-with-you dept.

Tycoon Guy writes "It's official now: UPN has decided to cancel 'Enterprise.' The show's series finale, which may feature Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi), will air on Friday the 13th of May. The show's fate was probably sealed when last Friday's episode reached only 2.5 million viewers - but even so, the people at EnterpriseFans.com are still trying to raise money for a fan campaign to save the show."

    In the finale, Q takes Riker to the past, present and future to correct the timeline and prevent Enterprise from happening.

      Or... "Sam, thank God I found you! Ziggy says there's a 98% chance you've messed up the timeline and pissed off the fans. You've got to fix it before you can leap".

    Q. How many "Enterprise" fans does it take to save a TV series?

    Most of you will die long before graduation.

    But a few lucky cadets, the cadets that excel, can look forward to serving on a real starship and perhaps meeting a real starship captain before being burned alive by a Horta, or absorbed by a vague energy cloud on some backwater planet.

    Our fine academy will train you to be a specialist. We have no combat training or engineering classes.

    You won't be needing those.

    Here you will be trained to creep around a desert planet with a phaser in hand, or perhaps simply wander off on your own and touch any random glowing thing you find. Some of you may major in Provoking Reptilian Aliens, or Ignoring Repeated Warnings.
