Star trek Enterprise has been axed

[gh0st]

While I am not a trekkie I do like catching the occasional episodes of the new stuff (voyager and the later eps of The next generation)

They are axing Enterprise on the 4th series (final episode to go out in March)

Gutted as I quite liked it

[cotty]

never really got into it.
Voyager is the best of the lot, and not just because it has seven of nine in it

[Monkey Boy 1]

Seven of nine , Would love to meet two her cousins Six of one and Half a dozen of the other

same here,i watched the first episode and was left unimpressed.....did anyone else think the theme tune was cack too??

voyager was realy good,shame that the final episode ending was sooooo crap.

i liked the later ds9 episodes when the dominion came onto the scene,it seemed to give the show the hard kick up the ass it needed.

as for my own choice on which one of the star trek shows was the best......its a tie between 'next gen' and the original series for me.

I bought all the DVDs a while back and when I started making my way through them I was surprised how early the Dominion came into it. I'm sure it was the end of series 1 or at the latest series 2.

Trekkies. You have to laugh. They're almost as bad as middle-aged men who cluster in pub car parks to compare their road-weaponry........

uh-oh...

[mybrainhurts]

No I don't....try that link.

Enterprise has nothing on the new Battlestar Galactica, which is just about the finest Sci-Fi I've ever watched.

[JonRB]

Yes, Galactica has been brilliant. At the very least because it is the ONLY Sci-Fi I have ever seen where star fighters obey Newtonian Physics. But it has also been well written and quite fresh.

Edit: However, it's not fair to hijack this thread, so I've started a new one for Galactica here

Not sure about galactica. I watched it, but its even more east enders in space than startrek!

Enterprise never grabbed me, and agree with the chap above that the music was terrible.

Whoever decided on the constipated rock ballad must have been smoking something really good, or really bad.

Watched the first few episodes and came to the conclusion it was cack and never bothered again.

It's probably ensured the Trek franchise is put out to pasture permanently. :shrug:

Yep! I thought the theme song was awful too. The series was also IMO poorly cast and under budgeted. The shows producers could certainly have learnt a lesson from Galactica.

It's worth a peep, folks. Anybody tried it?

[v8thunder]

Can't say I like Star Trek that much, although the films are OK and that one set on the space station - Deep Space 9 is it? - seemed a lot more 'human' than the others. What always put me off a bit was the rather 'robotic' actors they got in. Also, I always felt The Next Generation looked like the sort of thing the Lib Dems would come up with if they had to write a space series.

Star Trek's been axed? Well IMO it's had its day...

Some fair comments there. I think they some times struggled to keep to Gene Roddenberry’s idyllic vision of the future.

I think it's the whole 'idyllic view of the future' that puts me off - the hardcore trekkies I've known in the past have also been either obtusely self-righteous or incredibly scientifically geeky, but either way, they seem to treat it as a little bit too much more than just a TV show.

The single weirdest thing I ever saw was the theme to Enterprise being performed, live, at the opening ceremony at the 2002 Commonwealth games. All I could think was "Why are they playing Star Trek music?"

Does that make me sad? Probably

[gh0st]

Yup the theme tune was gak. And I gotta admin most of series 2 was a washout but IMO its starting to pick up again.

Still its not as bad as when Fox axed Futurama
