Default Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN

The choice to end the series was blamed on poor ratings but that is turning out to be a load of horse s*** and that is what realy is p***ing me off. They canned the series because, like so many others have posted, it no longer fits into the UPN's budge which is gear for the low end, enexpensive, and cheaply produced sit-com market.

Simply put, UPN is a low rent network and Enterprise was like the most expensive thing they owned, and instead of hocking or selling it, they broke it up into tiny little peaces and dumped it out the 10 story window of their getto.

Shows like Jag and B5 were canned by their first networks but picked up by other networks. UPN and ViaCom / Paramount decided that marketing Enterprise to another network would not work and therefore have not tried to do so. They want Enterprise shut down.

What really hurts is what they are doing to the sets. You should get angry Narf. You have to know that the bean counting yuppies down there could careless about the historical significance of what they have. They will sell it off on Ebay, trash can it, store it until it turns to dust then trash can it, or simply allow whats left to be disposed of by any means possible.

Hell they are going to rename the Gene Roddenburry building too and that is just sad. Just fricking completely destroughtingly sad.

I really should stop reading the Star Trek and other forums. They are just upsetting me.
