RIP Star Trek
I just got done watching the last Enterprise episode. I never really got into the show, but it's still sad to know there wont be any Star Trek series.....For now. Maybe it's best they take a break, but I hope one day a new series will emerge.

1. I'm just afraid they've interpreted it wrong.
They'll think "we have to not have any more Star Treks cause people don't like them anymore", when the case really is they (at least me, but most people I know too) just didn't like this particular series, and would be glad to have another one if it's better...

2. *Sigh*. No more Trek
I never watched one episode of Enterprise but my husband was a huge fan. I'm surprised he didn't cry!

My favorite series definitely has to be one of the most hated, Voyager. hehhe. Well, besides TNG. I haven't watched much of TOS and didn't care for DS9.

5. I'm not a Trekker, but I loved this incarnation of the series...
And I bawled like a little baby when Tripp, my favorite on the show, died. I really liked how they had Jonathan Frakes on, exploring what happened on the holideck. He's a great actor, and it kinda tied all the incarnations together. I think they ended it well.

6. It'll be back..
I think that Paramount needs to re-evaluate the franchise and they need a completely new creative team to take the next series in a new direction. I never watched "Enterprise" because I lived in a city without UPN. A local affiliate carried it, but the show's schedule was highly irregular. I can't help but believe that Paramount's decision to have "Enterprise" as a proprietary UPN program hurt the series due to the lack of UPN stations across the country. It makes me angry that ALL of the Star Trek programs are only on cable.
