Well, I'm not God, but I think I can safely say that there's good in anything.

Better the series be dead than in the hands of those who don't care about it.

Good point there Narf. But I cannot help but think about JAG and how well that turned out for them.

Like he said, most of the new bread are focused on reality tv to take notice of the jewels that they do have. I never thought I would see the day when CBS and UPN were considered the same.

Although, one good thing is that Enterprise is now in syndication. So we can all watch the previous episodes and forget all our gripes...for a little while.
That and Enterprise is coming out on DVD for those who have money to buy it.

Syndication huh, They've had 98 episodes haven't they?. I saw an episode of Monk which said they get syndication after 100 episodes.

Syndication can occur after any number of episodes. It's the series owners that decide.

There is hope that the syndication over the off season will generate some interest in the show and hopefully an advocate can be found for the series at CBS/UPN and the show will be picked back up. However they are striking the sets in a few weeks so don't hold your breath.

I just had a terrible thought. It has been expressed here what sort of programming UPN shows and why Enterprise didn't fit in, also the standard letter they sent everyone says they hope for a new chapter. I suddenly thought in the car that it might be like this

Star Trekkaz: Survivaz
Every week the Fedarashun Starship Martin Luther King (registration, MalcolmX:01) explorez the galaxy for new kinds of Bruthaz. Which Away Team will find the most aliens, and which crew member will be voted off and transported off the ship. First Star Trek series to do away with technobabble and use language appropriate for the audience.
