Author Topic: Star Trek Enterprise Canceled Greg Routenburg Expert Film Handler Posts: 178 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: May 2003 posted 02-05-2005 11:58 PM                     So as I'm sure anyone who cares already knows, Star Trek Enterprise has been canceled effective the end of this season. There's a web site setup to organize a letter writing campaign to the heads of the networks to show disappointment over the cancelation. For anyone who's interested here's the address. http://www.saveenterprise.com  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

I'm sure the new series "Star Trek: Vapid Oblivion" is just around the corner.  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 02-06-2005 03:01 AM                        And after I just gave into the undeniable truth that I am a big Star Trek geek. I'm Netflix'ing all of Deep Space 9, which one of my good friends said was "the Methodone of Star Trek". So I've been able to watch Enterprise and enjoy it immensely. And I think this will do it for Star Trek for awhile. Unless they concentrate on pumping out more movies.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-06-2005 12:12 PM                        Paramount has milked the Star Trek cow to the point of killing it. That includes movies as well as television. ST needs a nice long hiatus.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-06-2005 04:03 PM                     quote: David Stambaugh ST needs a nice long hiatus.

I wanted Seven of Nine!  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-06-2005 06:52 PM                        For those wanting some form of GOOD star trek, fear not, the ORIGINAL SERIES is available on DVD. Oh yeah, and the creator of Babylon 5 was asked by paramount to write a treatment for a new series idea recently. No word on if that would ever come to fruition.

They need to find something completely new to get people interested again. BTW, I have enjoyed Enterprise and think it is probably the best spin off series yet. I'm not sure if I like T'Pol or 7of9 better though. Hottest trek girl of all is no doubt the first Dax on DS9.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Dieter Expert Film Handler Posts: 234 From: Yakima, WA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 02-06-2005 09:10 PM                     I have to agree with David Stambaugh, it has been milked to the point of death. My analogy would be thinking of "The Fat Lady" gone anorexic. Personally, I think they need to let the generations of ST age a bit, and bring it back in about 15 - 20 years.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-06-2005 09:54 PM                  Well I certainly agree with David S and Tom. That whole Star Trek thing is milked way, way beyond reason! Having worked with the ST people at Paramount for the "Experience" in Las Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the writers, producers, and corporate people all think they are (and expect to be) treated like gods. They sure think their shit doesn't stink. AND ***IF*** you don't treat them as royalty and kiss their feet, as well as other body parts, you will NOT get to "participate" in any of their venues or shows connected to Star Trek. At least most of the cast, including Shatner are "real" persons!  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 02-06-2005 10:30 PM                        Unless they decide to do another TNG movie (and based on the box office of the last one, why WOULD they), my guess is the next Star Trek project will be a movie based on the original series with an all-new cast in the original roles. That seems to be all the rage anymore. Shatner could have a cameo as a Klingon. Give it about five years...  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-06-2005 10:41 PM                     The only star trek thing I liked was Galaxy Quest.  |  IP: Logged Don Cross Film Handler Posts: 97 From: Charleston, WV, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-07-2005 12:42 AM                     In related news about 7 of 9; which also falls under the category of thuth thats stranger than fiction... Anyone ever hear the facts about the real life 7 of 9's break up from her husband? Just before the event was anounced they were on a "tour" of a red light district in France, and happened to make some news while there. Ironically 7's former husband either was or still is a rather well known politician- unfortunately can't seem to remember from what state. Some politicans just have too many strange hobbies; of which wouldn't be too bad if they weren't making the press all of the time. Almost sounds very similar to doing a Bill Clinton.  |  IP: Logged Greg Routenburg Expert Film Handler Posts: 178 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: May 2003 posted 02-07-2005 09:55 PM                     I still think it's a real shame. This 4th season has been really great. Oh well, with a production cost as high as it had I'm not terribly surprised the network chose to ditch it. Here's to a good series that came to an end before it's time.  |  IP: Logged Samuel Hynds Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Riverside, CA, USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 02-10-2005 09:20 AM                     It is a shame. At this years grand slam - there should be alot of boos  |  IP: Logged
