I think that's really the series biggest flaw. Since they set it in the past, they had to make things lower tech than TOS, and failed horribly at that. Mind you, I'm still betting on the whole alternate time line thing, so that continuity isn't affected, but I'll guess we won't know about that until we get another series or something.

[Ford Prefect]

Another series?! Come now, good sir! Do you have your wits about you? This is becoming like a zombie movie, except with a TV show instead of dead people. Everything must come to an end; Star Trek has to be taken out back and shot in the head to end its pain.

They should try creating something new for a change.

[Grey Wolf]

I don't mean any time soon. I was thinking in about ten years or so. A refresh period, like between TOS and TNG. Hopefully, though, not like the gap between Return of the Jedi and the Phantom Menace.

There is still potential for Trek as a liscense, but they need to break the self-imposed limits and also make something with a clear storyline.

Say a 100 episode series where a more or less independent city-like starship (like the Ent D was supposed to be...) with all of the bells and whistles we see in the Trek universe (slipstream, ablative armor, transphasic torps, you name it) winds up doing inter-galactic travel and is involved in some large scale conflicts that could threaten even the Milky Way despite the great barrier. (The Kelvan Empire perhaps?)

The aliens should be alien, mostly CGI, and each faction/civilization has their own unique tech basis and look different from normal Trek.

...and the ship is able to return to the Federation to avoid Voyager/Atlantis syndrome.

[IceFire]

Atlantis syndrome is supposed to end at the end of season 1.  The story apparently wasn't meant to always be that Atlantis was cut off from Earth...but it was something to be done for at least one season and have them stand on their own.

[Ford Prefect]

What you've proposed is a great idea-- for an entirely new show.

Why does it have to be Star Trek? People are coming up with all these great ideas for new science fiction shows, but trying to cram them into the framework of a universe whose canon has already been raped without lube to make way for add-ons. Someone should take these ideas and have the guts to do what Gene Roddenberry did: CREATE A NEW UNIVERSE.

(TNG was by far the best, by the way.)

[deep_eyes]

this has officially ruined my day.

I seriously hope that Sci Fi picks this up like they did SG1

[Knight Templar]

I thought the whole Xindi thing was hokey, but it certainly made the series more lively. The last two seasons have been the best. Sad and a shame that it's going now.

[Kazan]

the vulcan (episode) trilogy in season 4 of enterprise - best.trek.ever

[NGTM-1R]

I'm going to hold out for DS9's last season as best, but I was really starting to like this...which is a long way from the foaming-at-mouth hatred I originally held for it.

[Grey Wolf]

I never really got into DS9, as I was alienated by the early seasons.

One of the first posts on /. was:

"Sam, thank God I found you! Ziggy says there's a 98% chance you've messed up the timeline and pissed off the fans. You've got to fix it before you can leap".

I'd actually watch that one, too.

Which isnt actually hard....except for the fact that it isnt actually hard to create a new universe that sucks in comparision to the big ones already out? To create an entirely new one that appeals as much as the ones out now would be pretty hard.....

.....but still do-able.

*has an interesting idea........

[Liberator]

They should replace Phlox with a Dean Stockwell character that has a backstory with Archer(yes I know he's already been on as an alien warden), then it will be Trek in the old style with The Captain, The Doctor(Trip doesn't count, although he is my favorite.  his accent is a little to southern for Florida, though I'd believe Georgia or, God forbid, Alabama) and the Vulcan

[Mongoose]

TNG the best?  Spare me.   Picard was too proper, too by-the-book, too...French (yet with a British accent?) My favorite might have to be the original; there's nothing like watching William Shatner woo green alien chicks and get into fistfights with Gorn.  He was the type of rough-and-ready guy that really seemed like a convincing captain; as much as I like Patrick Stewart, Picard always let too much of the Shakespearean actor show through.  I haven't seen enough of DS9 to make a proper judgment; it seems to be good, though.  Trials and Tribble-ations, anyone? :)And...shocker of shockers...I very much enjoyed Voyager.  This fourth season of Enterprise, though, has been simply phenomenal.  These bastards don't know what they're writing off.

As I don't understand networks and their relation to series', can anyone explain what the chances are, and what would have to heppen for, another channel - SciFi, let's say - to pick the series up? Also, how likely is Scott Bakula's past history (Quantum Leap) to affect a decision by the SciFi channel?

[mitac]

There's a good example of a sci-fi series picked up by another channel - B5's last season. Though - where should Enterprise be taken? There's simply not much room to tell a story, except maybe the romulan wars. But what's the fun with fighting an enemy you won't ever see face-to-face for maybe several seasons? The 'first contact' with the Romulans was made by Kirk's Enterprise.

The funny thing is, this show was STILL the highest rating show on UPN.

Even better... Stargate SG-1 was ditched by Showtime after two seasons and then picked up by Sci-Fi.

As for a better home for Enterprise... I'm torn between Sci-Fi and syndication.
