In case no one's noticed, the new issue of TV Guide with the "Six Feet Under" cover (covers?) has an article on that very topic. They talked to the guy who runs TrekWeb.

Naysayers rejoice! More articles that read like something Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons would write. These so called "fans" are what's really wrong with Trek.

When this spin-off bites the dust, it will be because of the producers failure to give true Star Trek fans something worthwhile to watch. Being a fan doesn't mean you never criticize mistakes when you see them. I'm a fan of my home baseball team, but when the coaching sucks, I'm gonna complain. I rant as we all do because I want them to be as exciting to watch as I remember they used to be. The same is true for Star Trek.
The real problem is that the producers got to thinking that most "fans" would accept anything they slap a Star Trek title on. They were wrong. The ratings prove it.
Star Trek is definitely worth saving, but it needs to rest and recuperate from the wounds inflicted by its unimaginative producers. Bring it back after a few years with a production team dedicated to making intelligent character-driven drama, avoid the gimicky use of old plots, played-out aliens, and slap-in-your-face errors of continuity, and fans will come back in droves.

Seeing as Enterprise isn't Star Trek Enterprise, like you said, does that mean we can say it isn't Star Trek? Would sure solve quite a few continuity problems

Oh no! You mean they're going to cancel Star Trek: Phase II?

The best and most widely accepted way of saving Star Trek is not to do any more Star Trek series after Enterprise. They can even stop the movies after Nemesis, and wait longer than 2-3 years to put out another movie. Maybe 5 or 6?
B&B need to accept the fact thet they don't know what's good for Star Trek. Maybe it's time for them to actually look for help in that department. From either fans or people who used to work on Star Trek. I know that asking fans might or might not be a good idea. After all you got those who want 40,000 Defiant class ships, with a 5 miles super-ultra-fantastic-super-duper-dreadnought battleship armed with weapons that a single shot willo destroy entire galaxies all at once. Then you got the intelligent ones.
Or they can just wing it.

My suggestion for the next movie would be a movie in the vein of other greats, such as "Showgirls", called "Dabo Girls: Gone Wild", featuring all of Quarks alien babes from season 1-7!!!
