First, read the date that Ninaka posted that on.
Second, realise Ninaka's is effectively, an ex-PEELer!!
She's in Canadia now without any............. well, civilisation.

Some figures to consider...

First ep. of Voyager - 13 million viewers
Final ep. of Voyager - 5 million viewers
Current Enterprise eps. - 3 million viewers

Incidentally, S2 of Enterprise is Star Trek's 26th season.  Doctor Who lasted 26 seasons, and was only pulling in 3 million viewers when it was axed.

Enterprise is carrying on for a third year, but the end might be closer than you think...

[Reply #83 on:]

Fred, are those US viewing figures? If so three million there is worse than three million that Dr Who got in the UK, as percentage of viewers would be lower.

[Reply #84 on:]

Keep in mind, that UPN started with the debut of Voyager, but as far as I know, UPN is still not as successful as orginally intended.

There are also rumors that Viacom might want to get rid of UPN, because it costs too much.

US viewing figures.  Actually DW's weren't that bad, considering the show was placed directly opposite Coronation Street, but BBC Controller Michael Grade didn't like the show, and that was that.

Its a different game now, If a show isnt a Rip-Roaring hit, then its not worth it. Any good futurama fan should know that. Tha attitude's certainly not helping to stem the tide of Reality TV either.

[Reply #88 on:]

Boy that episode kicked ass.

Show spoiler

Another enemy alien race in an alternate timeline staged around WW II. Pretty warped.

Yep, th-is Season has been great and the finale was a awesome way to end the Expanse  Storyline with a nice juicy cliffhanger.

[Reply #90 on:]

I finally got around to watching the finale of Enterprise.  You're right, that was quite a cliffhanger.  I can't say I really expected it, that was pretty good.  I look forward to seeing what they do with it next season.

[Reply #91 on:]

yep, if defintely was one of the weirdest cliffhangers ever, and it's making me count the days until the Sept. Season Premier.

[Reply #92 on:]

i dont see why they make it sooner it irritates me wating

[Reply #93 on:]

After an especially mediocre season, I have to say that the last 5-6 eps have been a joy to watch.

Can't wait till it starts again now 

[Reply #94 on:]

As usual, Nazi's can be used to help anything. ANYTHING.

I think overall, this has been one of the best seasons in StarTrek history, let alone the best of the series so far. It has been very consistant in the quality of the episodes, and most have been an absolute joy to watch. I think this really could be the turning point in the series.

[Reply #96 on:]

"Evil alien nazis"? As opposed to "good alien nazis"?   

[Reply #97 on:]

the "evil" makes em sound edgy and cool. "Nazi aliens" sounds like those aliens from that episode of TOS.

[Reply #98 on:]

indeed, an interesting season finale.
then again, it makes you think that the writers didn't really believe that there would be another season... 

also, did they travel back in time or not? 

[Reply #99 on:]

Nazis here, nazis there. They even were in Voyager.

I like the continuing storyline. They must have listened to fans who blamed the makers of not enough consistency.

[Reply #100 on:]

I think the season long storyline was a great idea. They really needed more edgy-ness and gripping storyline (which the Xindi-plot certainly was). And i hope that the fan base grew a bit after this past season.

Saw this posted on another forum, seemed to fit a lot of the feelings on the finale quiet well:

indeed. that's a very accurate summary.

'Cept for the hand flipping me off from inside the TV, thats pretty much what happened to me too.

I don't know.  It seems like nothing changed as far as the Zindi or anything on Enterprise.  Maybe they only changed Earth history?  I wonder how they'll explain it.

[Reply #105 on:]

So they stopped all Xindi attacks, fixing the crimes  that the show has commited? Or will I just have to wait til they play it here?

[Reply #106 on:]

ooh, you live down in Austrailia? That hurts. I guess you'll just have to wait and see what happens, Grim...

There is some speculation about the mystery alien in the cliffhanger episode. Some say it could be a Reman.

The season 3 finale of Enterprise featured a cliffhanger ending in which the ship finds itself apparently back on 1940s Earth. Whilst Enterprise sends a shuttlepod down to San Francisco and is fired upon by US aircraft, Archer finds himself in a Nazi field hospital. The very last scene shows an alien dressed in a Nazi uniform staring grimly down at Archer.

There has been much speculation that this mystery alien is a Reman, a species first seen in Nemesis and apparently cousins of the Romulans. This article is going to have a look at the two side by side and try to get at the truth.
   
Arguments for and against:


Remans are only comfortable in the dark. The scene the mystery alien appears in is dark.

The mystery alien's skin colouring is, as far as lighting allows us to judge, almost identical to a Reman's.

Remans would be expected to be enemies of Earth at this point; the mystery alien is, presumably, hostile/evil.
___________

The mystery alien has red eyes. Remans do not.

The mystery alien has two small ridges on his bottom lip. Remans do not.

Reman ears curve outwards. The mystery alien's do not.


Remans have a built up ridge around their eyes, which has a break in the middle. The mystery alien does not.
   
The mystery alien has a prominent V-shaped ridge beginning at his nose. Remans do not.
   
The mystery alien has jowls to the sides of his mouth. Remans do not.

[Reply #108 on:]

It could just be like the Reptilians, which were re-used Reman costumes.

[Reply #109 on:]

Hmmm, that'd be cool if it was a Reman. I loved Nemesis and their character in it. If it was a Reman, there would be no backlash from Trekkies saying that there was no visual contact between Humans and Romulans until TOS. But they never said anything about Remans...

*cringes at the mention of the word 'Nemesis', then vomits*   

[Reply #111 on:]

There is this guy on a Trek forum that I visit on occasion that supposedly works on the show (everyone there takes his word as the gospel truth, so I'm assuming he proved it somehow), and according to him, the mystery alien was scripted as a never-before-seen alien. (of course, this could just be some guy on a message board, but I thought it was interesting). That, and, IMO, it doesn't look any more like a Reman than any other of Star Trek's various aliens have. There are only so many different looks that are possible with the way Star Trek does it's non-Earth life.  I'm surprised that people even made that connection seriously, to be honest.

[Reply #112 on:]

IMO, the mystery alien looks too blue to be a Reman.

What?! Nemesis was a great f'n Trek movie! It was heavily underrated due to lack of ticket and DVD sales.

I don't know, I saw the film and I thought it was pretty bland.  It wasn't that good, IMO.

it wasnt as good as III or First Contact, but i thought it was a fantastic end to the TNG saga.

I think Nemesis was successful -
proving that not all even-numbered ST movies are good...

The season finale was really good.

How did archer possibly survive that explosion though?  And land on earth (considering it blew up in space) in 1940 something?

I'm not sure whether they have travelled back in time, since Enterprise was brought back to earth by the Aquatics...I think development on Earth was disrupted...and it might have something to do with this Temporal Cold War thing they have been hinting at throughout the entire series.

But for now I guess we no choice but to wait until September, when the new season begins...

[Reply #119 on:]

Nemesis was quite obviously a rip-off of Star Trek 2, but not done nearly as well. The whole Picard/Shinzon thing seemed forced, the plot was predictable and the character 'death' at the end was a cop-out. Even my mum hated it, and that takes a lot
