They should have made Enterprise as a syndicated series rather than a network one. It would have gotten more favourable time slots and a better overall audience...

The question is why don't they do that now?

Probably because they feel they don't need to go the syndication route anymore since they have thier own network.

There has been talk of a series focusing on the exploits of a Klingon warship.

I ask why not a series focusingon Vulcans! No one would have ANY emotions, whatsoever! It would be hilarious!

But all joking aside, I think a show about the Romulans would be better then the Klingons. I just like the Romulans, not sure why.

There's no shortage of new concepts for the next series...

I just watched the latest episode of Enterprise, "United", and was quite caught up in the ep. Ugh, if only these types of stories persisted earlier in the series!

I agree. To bad the producers were rudderless when they started the series. If they had a clear concept for an on going story line, i.e. used the suggestions of many a good fan, then the series would have been a lot more resilient to UPN's anti-white viewer tactics and would have survived and most likely thrived.

Yah baby, Gwar Trek!

I'm sorry to take this thread off-topic but anti-white viewer tactics? What do you mean by that?

There was talk, earlier,that UPN is only interested in appealing to black people, as shown by their plethora of african american programming. The idea was that an intellectual show mostly filled with white people was of no appeal to UPN's target audience, thus the lax in ratings.

Come on guys, it's got nothing to do at all with racial motivations. It's an expensive show to make and when the ratings weren't there initially - it got moved to a bad Friday night timeslot and add to that a massive split in the trek community about the series was enough to finish it off. To suggest otherwise is silly.
