More On Save Enterprise Donations
Malfourmed writes "TrekUnited.com today announced that three anonymous contributors from the commercial spaceflight industry have stepped forward with a $3 million pledge toward the campaign to ensure a fifth season for the recently cancelled Star Trek: Enterprise.
The benefactors explained why they believe this campaign deserves such a substantial contribution: 'We think Star Trek and especially its latest incarnation, Enterprise is the kind of TV that should be aired more often. The people responsible at Paramount think this is just a show and we want to tell them, it is not. We are in the commercial space flight industry and would like to testify that at least one out of two of all the actual entrepreneurs involved in this industry has been inspired by Star Trek; and we are not only good at watching TV sci-fi , we are also good at writing checks, big checks. The people airing this kind of TV have a responsibility; inspiration.' " We reported on this a few days ago, but this is more info about the largest donors.
Ahhhh....It's a dupe! I thought I stuck in a spatial distortion cause by a port lacelle malfunction that caused a rift in the space time continuum.
to keep the show, and not enough to keep the title song

If this is true, Star Trek should sit on the bench for a good 15 years or so.

Oh Fuck it...Trip dies at the end and the episode is a holographic program on the holodeck of the Enterprise-D (yes...D as in how DUMB can you get!)which Riker and Troi are observing. The series itself is not a hologram program, but the likelihood of bringing it back after this bullshit is practically zero. You may now commense your saber rattling. Q

Can't they do anything right?
First the editors are "bad people(TM)" for not finding dupes, and now they are "bad people(TM)" for clearly identifying them.
Give them a break, they are making it easier on all of us.
We no longer have to read half the comments before finding it out.
It is right there, front and center.
I for one welcome a future with no more "Editors are L4M3455 D00DZ" posts!

The only way to explain this is that Captain Archer was sent here from the future to ensure the time line. He must convince some Trekkies that the Star Trek Universe will actually happen. Without a second season, Cochrane's grandfather will never buy the T'Pal doll that will later inspire Cochrane to finally finish college and develop the warp drive. Otherwise, there will be a fork causing an instability in the fabric of space and time, leading to a new show: Babelstar Androgenous.
Yo, AC. In this here new-fangled 21st century we have some tools to help you: 1) "Remote control" channel flipping 2) Mute button 3) TiVo or VCR, then "fast-forward"
The next week I tried to build one using all my wind up toys, string and the legs of the kitchen table
Could it run Linux?
Where do I donate to KILL OFF Enterprise?!!!!
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Now bury it and move on already.

but sure as hell it wasnt star trek enterprise...
HI O WISE PRINCE. WHT TOOK U SO DAM LONG?
I have an idea for a new Star Trek Series. It's a reality show where fans compete in outrageous and embarrassing games to become cast members in an upcoming Star Trek series. At the end, producers will admit to them that there is no upcoming series, and they just wanted to see how stupid they could get trekkies to act.
That's Bigboo TAY! TAY!
but this is more info about the largest doners.
What have kebabs got to do with it?
Does it have to be?
Does it have to be just a television program? Can't it grow into something more? Can't it be a movement? Can't it be a means to spreading a message of hope and logic and tolerance?
Thus begins the first steps toward the Church of Trek.
