Paramount pulls plug on Trek

[Janus]

According to the Dutch papers, the scale of the recent Trek disaster is much bigger then thought so far:

They're not just pulling the plug on Enterprise, they're pulling the plug on all of Trek !!!

This can't happening !!! Arghh !!

[aAnubiSs]

They wanna get rid off Berman so they can start fresh

It's not good to write contracts that span over several movies

[Crazedwraith]

I beleive they said there not doing more star trek of at least 2 years which is actually a lot shorter breka than it needs.

Wait say ten years then get a fresh new staff and for goodness sake don't let Braga or berman with a hundred mile raidus of the project.

Wait till neo BSG has run its course than get Ron Moore to do the next trek.

[aAnubiSs]

I wouldn't mind them giving Coto(without B&B) a chance to fix S5 in Enterprise.

I couldn't agree with you more Crazedwraith, Braga & Berman are probably the most hated writers in sci-fi at the moment. In recent interview Jolene Blalock talks about season 4 and you get the impression even the cast don't like them.

I don't believe this !! I have been looking forward to the Romulan War ever since Enterprise began !!
And they're skipping the WHOLE THING !!!
That was supposed to be the climax of the series !!
A big, messy war between Earth and the Romulans.

So, that would be interrupted climax, right? Ouch.

Oh well... At least we'll have enough time to look toward other series, like STARGATE and BSG. (although, Edward Olmos already stated that BSG isn't much a Sci-Fi series. It's more of a human drama set in a Sci-Fi setting)

I like Star Trek and all (this is sad), but it doesn't really affect me. I didn't really care too much for Enterprise.

Sad to hear it's the 'end of Trek'.

[shockwave]

I've read that SpikeTV is interested in a fifth season, and that if there would be one, it would be completely devoid of Braga, because he is working on a new show named Threshold, on CBS

That's extremely unlikely now that Paramount isn't funding any part of Enterprise. SpikeTV would cave in under the cost of producing the entire show.

I hope not but I fear it will be so. NO space opera please. If they explore the cylons and their nature and technology and reverse evolution from electromechanical to biomechanical that would be cool. It would be like exploring the tek of the Shadows and Vorlons. But if they persist with the space opera stuff I will stop watching.

It was the episode with Starbuck exploring the downed cylon Raider that hooked me to the show.

In fact, he was mostly talking about the rapport the characters will have between themselves.

I personally like it. Less emphasis on the "Warp Coil", "Hyperdrive", "Jump Engine" or whatever. More emphasis on the characters.

I feel like each and every single character has been developped twice as much in BSG the series than in the movie. Better even, this series has the most character development of and between the characters than you'd expect to see in any sci-fi series, moreso than SG-1's first season or even Star Trek: TNG's first season.

well, there are hundreds of other types of genres for those interested in character development. Try Shakespeare. Science fiction should be about science fiction.

Ah, but that's where things are different.

They're trying to make a Sci-Fi/Drama hybrid. If you ask me, it's working VERY well. Enough sci-fi to make the geeks think, enough drama to make the casual viewer get hooked solely on the story.

Although, not enough in each category to make a die-hard fan of each genre like this...

You do know that Spike is also owned by Viacom right? So it would be in the same family made by the same people in the same place. There probably would be a lower budget and there would still be all the problems that EVERY single show that isn't on CBS has in the Viacom family.
