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."

    Actually, that is a show called Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda starring Kevin Sorbo and produced by Majel Roddenberry. But they had to remove the Trek part, but just substitute "Federation" every time someone says "Commonwealth" and you'll know what I mean.

    ... And so it comes to this.

  3. Galactica is out rating it. by jhallum · · Score: 3, Informative

    Of course it's going to be cancelled, Galactica on Sci-Fi and the rest of the Sci-Fi Friday is getting as good or better ratings than it is, and I believe that UPN has a wider distribution than Sci-Fi does. I've read that Galactica had a 2.5 rating last week, which is higher than the week before. It's weird seeing Galactica succeed and a Trek franchise fail, but Galactica is just That Damn Good. You Galactica haters can scoff now, but wait until the last few episodes, Galactica gets very good. On par with Babylon 5 at its prime, I'd say.
