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."

Nice...

If this actually works, and Arrested Development gets cancelled, I would drain my bank account for a third season of that.

good thing.

[circusboy]

maybe they can find writers with a slightly wider world view...

I have the feeling ...

I think Paramount wants to kill off Enterprise because they're ready to start with something fresh after Berman/Braga are canned. It seems to me that a company that is consistantly rejecting bribes to keep a rather popular show on the air is either incredibly stupid, or has an ace up their sleeve and doesn't want anyone to know about it.

Well, either that or they're trying to piss off the people who watch it via bittorrent (quite a few if I'm not mistaken).
"Haha!!! That'll show you commie pirates! We'll just cancel whatever you like to download."

Actually

Actually, if you read Paramount's statement carefully, it's worded a little oddly. It basically states that Enterprise on UPN is through. I thought it was strange they specified UPN, especially with all the talk about moving the show to another channel...

I'm going to be majorly irked if next year Enterprise is resurrected on some other network.

Basically this would come off like a major publicity stunt and would make Enterprise even lamer than it is now.

It would be cool if they would bring it back every two years for a five or six episode miniseries, but that would only work if they covered major trek events that are already established. The Romulian war, the Klingon War, First Contact with important groups, like the Trill....but that won't happen...it will be lame.

Oh, and one last thing. LET IT DIE ALREADY!

Interesting...

Stargate-SG1 and Atlantis are both filmed in Vancouver. Farscape was Australia(?), is all Sci-Fi destined to be outsourced?

Anyone see the news on the cast wrap party?

[ravenspear]

The actors seem to know something you all don't.

This show is as dead as a doornail right now and won't be coming back.

Canadian Star Trek actors-How Many?

[Anonymous Coward]

How many are they? I only know about three:

J.D. (Scotty) - the greatest Start Trek actor ever;
W.S (Kirk) - a bad actor and a jerk;
Nicole de Boer - adequate acting, it could have been better. Anyway she is the cuttest Star Trek actress ever,and thus everything is forgiven. I would like to see her again in new Trek epiosodes.

Genevieve Boujold, also a Canadian, would have been a MUCH BETTER Janeway than K.M. but unfortunately she got scared and left the show. I HATED K.M. as Janeway.

Are there any others?

Obligatory whiny unreasonable fanboy response

Besides, a lot of U.S. TV shows are produced there. Including an unlikely number of SF shows:

I feel compelled to point out here that the X-Files didn't begin to suck until after they moved production from Canada to California...

(To be fair, the first season in california was actally really good. The Sucking did not begin until the *second* California-filmed season. But we can chalk this up to inertia. Canadian inertia.)

ST: Canada So what is left? Where in the ST Universe is there enough uncertainty to make interesting plots?

I'd like to see ST: Warbird. It would be set on a Romulan ship during the Kirk era and told from their point of view. The Federation would be meddling pricks standing in the way of the mission of spreading civilization to the barbarian hordes.
