I still don't get why they are canning Enterprice before the usual 7yr standard.

I REALLY do think this season was superior to all but the 1st (and parts of the 2nd), and Enterprise was noted as THE MOST DOWNLOAED of ALL TVSHOWS (including things like south park, simpsons, 24, etc) internationally.

Its popular to sell in Europe, it obviously has the 'replay' syndication potention that ALL trek has had, hell they were even looking for 'private investment' to finish up 7yr stint.

Note how Battlestar Galactica (my fav next to Babylon5) was also PASSED ON and only got made because Murdoch's "Sky One" paid or 50% of the production costs.

Of course now Sci-Fi is kicking themselvs that Sky holds the EXCLUSIVE rights to it. Meaning UK will get the season 1st before SciFi just like Season 1 (hello bittorrent-- again)

I'm TV execs will look back on the abandoning of the series a bit early as a mistake.

(after they get done with DVD sales and syndiation and realize they wish they had more 'matieral')

From what I understand Star Trek will be gone for a couple of years. Also Rick Berman's contract is going to expire in 06 meaning that he would no longer be producing Star Trek.. Someone else would.. I think that is why the canceled the show. I think the next Trek is going to be either on Spike Tv or Sci Fi..

Who said TV Execs has brains...
