Trey Parker and Matt Stone Save Enterprise

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the which-characters-will-dvda-in-season-five dept.

maotx writes "Paramount has agreed to permit Star Trek Enterprise to run for the fifth season which under normal circumstances, the sci-fi show would be impossible to produce with the reduced budget. Enter Star Trek fans Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, to save the day. The two will rename the show to "Team Enterprise" and will keep the voices of the original actors. With the lack of a budget for CGI effects the two will use a model of the Enterprise NX-01, thus reviving an old Star Trek tradition. "We prefer the look of physical, tangible models over CGI ships any day," Parker said. "Of course, we have no visual effects budget whatsoever, so we won't be painting out the strings. You'll get used to it. Still trying to figure out where to put the propeller." They then went on to comment: "We're also gonna re-do the opening title sequence," Stone revealed. "Record a new theme -- something bombastic, action-oriented. Y'know, something that isn't, like, totally gay.""

    ...it's a joke.

    I watched the whole first season...I struggled with a few episodes of the second season...and then I started downloading stargate...After sitting through the first season of stargate I tried to go back to ST:E and just couldn't sit through a signle episode.

    Than NEVER happened to me with anything star trek...not even voyager in its bad days...not even ST Nemesis (which was terrible).

    I realized I was only watching enterprise because it was Star Trek, not because it was worth it.

    For the love of god, leave this franchise alone until you can find the equivalent of Jackson for LOTR.

    Unfortunately, since the editors never have really cared what their readership things, we will continue getting these extremely predictable, extremely obvious April Fools stories. The best we can do is not read them and not post to them since doing so will hurt the ad revenue generated by them (hopefully, if ever so insignificantly).
