Enterprise canceled by UPN? Good - I have the perfect final episode

[yllus]

Bad cast, bad writing.

When Enterprise first came to air, by the time the first three episodes had aired I knew it was screwed. Nobody's interesting in Star Trek: Hicks In Space. Now, here's what would be cool...

Star Trek: Formation Of The Fleet

Maybe ten years after the Enterprise A first did its boring journey around the galaxy, launch 5-15 starships with a mission that reflects the early ideas of Starfleet: To expand aggressively across the universe and to become a major player in the universe. That means hard-core captains with crews that have professional military training, not the bumble around types like on Enterprise. Show us a continuing storyline of humanity biting off more than it can chew in its early aggressiveness to seek power, the first big defeats, the first alliances, the first construction of a Far Point starbase.

You can still mix T&A and sex into the show but do it with some goddamn balls.

Let the captain and/or some of its crew be philanderers always hungry for a taste of new alien flesh and to do so unapologetically, instead of the camera occasionally checking out a hot female cast member's ass. What are we, twelve? Someone get a writer and producer with balls for the next series.

I saw a few minutes of this show last night for the first time. It sucked

I thought last night's episode was quite good, IMO.

NOT CANCELLED Season 4 episode 1

Problems with Enterprise:

1) It's on UPN.
2) The plots mostly seem like rehashed episodes that were done in other Star Trek series.
3) It's on UPN.
4) The abandoned their fan base. They believed they could go mainstream, when the fact is no 16 year old female will ever watch or admit to watching any type of Star Trek show (well, most of them won't). Don't piss off your nerd demographic (of which I am admittedly a member).
5) It's on UPN.
6) At times it's preachy to the point of absurdity. I remember an episode from the first or second season about a cargo ship that was hijacked. The cargo ship took one of the attackers as a prisoner and Archer found out about this and asked "What gives you the right to take prisoners?" Uhhh... the fact that they tried to kill us and steal everything on our ship? And the guy at the helm, who used to work on a cargo ship, had his doubts at first, and then just suddenly changed his mind for no reason and sided with Archer.

I don't believe I watched any episodes after that. Perhaps the series has gotten a lot better, but I wouldn't know because...

7) It's on UPN.

Edit: Oh, and the characters have no depth. Each series has had a unique character or two or three that could be explored. Data and (to a much lesser extent) Worf from TNG, the EMH from Voyager, etc. The characters in Enterprise just don't seem to have anything unique or interesting about themselves.
