Last I heard, SciFi ordered a full 20-episode season.

The series has turned out to be a ratings hit. I read on another forum that they had indeed ordered 20 episodes for next year.

And if rumors are accurate, they are in negociations with Viacom to pick up Enterprise for two seasons. (If they can reach a deal.)

GOD I HOPE THESE RUMORS ARE TRUE.

I hope to God that they pick up ENT because with Sci-Fi it'd be a big hit

Imagine a TRUE sci-friday, Andromeda (it's in it's last season right now so by time ENT reached Sci-fi it could easily take Andromeda's spot), Enterprise, BSG, Stargate SG1- Stargate Atlantis (mmmmm drools just thinking about it)

I lost interest in Andromeda. I think it was because of the hap hazard way I have seen it. It had no set schedule in my area so I would see episodes here and there.

Its hard to follow a show like that and I can see why a show is cancelled do to poor ratings when viewing times are spread out shot gun style.

Happened to Babylon 5 in its final season, on TNT no less. TNT's schedule killed Crusaders, a very decent sequal series to B5 IMHO. And the UPN less then expected, and Lower Your Standards, handling of Enterprise has also proven this to be true. If you just lock a show into ONE time slot and do not bump it for sports or other crap, TNT, then perhaps it might blossom into a hit. Duhhhhhhhhh

Andromeda was cool up to the 3rd season.... after that it became too confused to be fun... the only good thing is when Rhade becomes a new member of the crew... but the other actors looks like they don´t like the characters anymore, so the show falls flat...

And the storylines became too confused after the 3rd season, and looks like they don´t have more ideas so they just confuse the viewer with new tecnobabble every episode...

I still watch the show now and then, but i think it lost its steam...

When I watch the show I get the distinct impression that it was poorly edited. It seems to rush through the story without ever really telling the story. The viewer is left to guess and wonder what they missed. Perhaps its a DVD ploy, you know, to promote the sales of the DVD's so that people will go back and watch the show to try and pick up the peaces they missed that were never really there.

I do not want the Sci-Fi channel to get their hands on an ICON from Star Trek like Enterprise. They would dog tie the production staff, cheapen the show, do to it what they have done to Stargate SG1 and Andromeda - make them appear rushed without any dedication to acting. (In otherwords the cast are just doing a job, a job that was once fun but has been morphed into a living hell.)

They would only buy 20 episodes when Star Trek set the standard at 26. (Well 24 for these last two seasons. )

Does it strike any one as a bit odd that Carter went from book worm scientist in all of the previous seasons of SG1 to sex symbol this season? I mean come on she is an attractive women, but you can clearly see that she is not at all happy about being pimped out like this. She is by all rights one of the more adoptive characters to be on TV in years, for her appeal as a women, both in looks as well as in intelligiance. Amanda Tapping, (Sp) has done a brillant job with the character but now that the show is on the Sci-Fi chanel, they have altered her character in a vain and very visible attempt to make her a sex symbol. That just irks me to no end.

The episodes have seemed rushed, almost hacked together at times, with the actors looking less and less like they enjoy what they are doing. In all honestly they have the appearance of people who just want to move on in life because they are bored with what they are doing and it is coming acrossed through their acting.

I love the show, and would love to see it go on for another seven years, but in all honestly, if the actors didn't need a job, I am sure they would agree that some things should be allowed to pass into history before they become less than they were.

Dang AT your getting downright hostile over there lol, Sci-Fi is really not that bad I mean look at Battlestar it's a great series so far and that's a sci-fi original.

Andromeda can only be blamed on it's writers, it was going down hill even when it was still only on channel 2, they are going way too dang mystical on us, instead of just a captain trying to rebuild the commonwealth we now have a demi-god magi type character trying to save the friggin universe.....sorry but that's cheesy

That and how many times can the reformed High Guard be destroyed? They are up to 2 so far and in this last season they are stuck in one stupid star system so we aren't seeing what's happenin to the new commonwealth, and with only 6 episodes left to the series it makes me wonder how rushed the series finale is going to be.


And oh yeah Carter's not a sex symbol it's just that they finally let her have a love life outside of the SG1 which is good since she really needed to get out in the world

If you think about it, Carter has always been a sex symbol. She was just targetted to a different audience then your typical tv sex symbol. I mean, what is more attractive to the typical geeky sci-fi fan that a cute girl that could talk for hours about quantum physics.
