Can't say that I am sad to see Enterprise go... it is a far worse blemish on the face of Star Trek than Voyager ever was.

Hmm... startrek.com doesn't seem to load at all now that I have blocked their malicious cookies. Oh well, guess I won't be visiting that site, ever.

I like enterprise much better then voyager because the cast is far more human than those stupid goody goody federation types from VOY, and aside from Seven the 5th 6th and early 7th seasons were pretty lame. yet they cancel ENT just as it is getting into stride? that's stupid.

Please, please, please let them finish the "mirror, Darkly" before they close shop. I would check the site but it is unavailable. probably brought down by all the people checking.

The entire 4th season will be finished prior to the cancellation and hopefully another network picks this up

I got the site, and it ends a month after "The Mirror, Darkly" so that's ok . Interesting that in the announcement it says they look forward to more chapters in the franchise.

It's too bad. When they focused on these recent types of storylines the shows were really pretty good. But the lack of support by UPN and the move to Friday nights spelled the end I guess. I always felt this show was unfairly critized.

Yeah, I had good hopes from what I read. We are currently having the Xindi season here (When it's cancelled I guess it won't be a priority to show the last season here ). Then they were having practically minimovies filling in lot's of Federation backstory.

Because it is a "Trek" show people were overly critical. You can't really blame UPN for giving up on the show when it was the die-hard Trek fans trashing it. Now those same fans will start crying about the series ending. (and no, I'm not referring to anyone around here! )

If the show had been judged on it's merits people would have seen that it was a decent scifi show.

Like maybe one that I get good reception, and also one that actually ADVERTISES! *Gasp* Imagine that. Between UPN's lack of advertising and their moving the show all around the map, I never knew when Enterprise was on.
