Enterprise - ABORTED?

[Josh]

"On the Paramount lot this week, a memo was circulated to the production staff advising them that the current season would be reduced to 24 shows from 26. This marks the first time in nearly 20 years that this has occurred for a Trek show; all non-first seasons of all the existing and previous series have always consisted of 26 shows (except TNG: Season 2 due to a writers strike).

Lot talk behind the memo is that next year will be the last season of "Enterprise". A fourth and final season of 24 shows, which with the first two seasons total episode count of 52, would fulfill the magic syndication requirement of 100 total episodes. No word on the future of the Franchise".

/sigh

I don't know what dissapoints me more: that this would be the first trek series since the original to not last 7 seasons, the fact that instead of fixing what could have been an excellent show they are giving up, or the fact that they intend to stretch out another season from a show that is only occasionally worth watching.

Paramount. Nuff said.

Taln... I feel the same way.

I'm not sure whether I should root for it to just be cancelled or be happy that it might be on the air a bit longer.

Sometimes the show can be SO good and then it is SO BAD the rest of the time. It makes me CRAZY.

I still like it better than the horrors of Voyager though.

and at least this season Bakula has really done something cool with his character. When they let him, he is like Captain Ahab. At least in the episodes where they don't hobble him.
