I believe Enterprise is falling prey to the cheap profits of reality
TV.  Paramount doesn't want it.  UPN doesn't.  CBS doesn't.  Others like
the SciFi channel or Bravo would gladly take it on but those who have
the rights to it aren't interested in shopping it around.  I believe
public opinion has to be brought to bear about that.  If the series goes
the last three years of its projected life there will probably be
another series born to replace it (once financial tides shift on the
network level).  If it ends prematurely, I believe that will be the end
of the big budget SciFi series.  If it dies, who's likely to want to
shell out two million per episode in the future for a really
well-scripted show chocked full of expensive special effects?  --Tom Haughey
