Is Enterprise Heading To Canada?
Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that the TrekUnited fan campaign a few weeks ago partnered with a group of Canadian production companies to pitch a co-production deal for 'Star Trek: Enterprise' to Paramount. As part of this deal, production would be moved up to Canada, and TrekUnited and the Canadian group would share the costs of a fifth season with Paramount. Apparently Viacom executives are considering the proposal, despite another branch of Paramount saying the cancellation was final just a few days ago."

Please, can't we just let it die with dignity?
When good geeks go bad.
Hah! And people ask why I love this country so much!
... "It's dead, Jim."
That is all.
...Enterprise is ordered to deliver a mysterious cargo labelled only "WHIPS" to the planet Equus Mortis.

They also don't believe in money, they're clearly not Americans.
X-Files definitely went south, in more ways than one, when Duchovny whined the show out of Canada.
One thing I never did understand is why when ever they are talking about distance, they always says kilometers never miles. Is there a reason for this? It is an American show.
To make it sound more technical and futuristic to Americans maybe?

For all of you Star Trek fans, don't worry. Canada's version, Start Trek: Degrassi, will be of excellent production quality. It will offer a moral lesson in every episode. New topics will be introduced that have never been seen before in a Star Trek series, such as teen pregnancy and drug use.
Since it'll air on CBC, profitablity won't be an issue because it is government supported. Best of all, it'll never get cancelled -- no matter how uninterested viewers are!
BEEP BEEP
Eh?
Sci-Fi set designers and school architects are all Fascists at heart? That's disturbing...
Fascists always have the best art departments, whether they're fictional or not.
I mean, who got the cooler uniforms in the original BSG: the Viper Pilots, or the Space Nazis?
It's the same everywhere. Jedi vs Sith. Autobot vs Decepticon. Hippie vs Grammaton Cleric.
I think that part of the reason the *real* Nazis were able to have such influence over the Germans* are things like Speer and his Cathedral of Light, their military having uniforms that say "I am an evil person, and I will go forth and enjoy doing evil things in style," etc.
The forces of Good need to replace their marketing team =P.
* Yes, I realize their other factors and am ignoring them for the purposes of this non-serious discussion.

Yeah! We could fix things and change the world and stuff. We could be like heroes or something!
