It's been established that UPN is trimming ALL it's shows back to 24 episodes and it is more an indicator of the network's financial troubles than anything to do with Enterprise.
There is also a rumor of Enterprise being moved to Friday night, but Paramount is flatly denying that.

I'm just hoping that the OTHER part of the rumor is true, about them giving serious thought to ending the series after the fourth season. Voyager basically got a blank check to run for seven seasons and pretty much fell apart in the last few years... I'd like to see them have the guts to end Enterprise before it finishes circling the drain, too.

Fuck that: Enterprise is three times the series Voyager was at it's best.

"I'd like to see them have the guts to end Enterprise before it finishes circling the drain..."
Though to what extent that decision would be motivated by ENTs dramatic shortcomings rather than its financial inadequacy is open for debate.

I wonder how long they intend to stretch out the Xindi arc, as well as trying to maintain the Temporal Cold War (God, I hate that term - you fuck with reality itself, and it's not considered an overt act of open war?) arc, within a seven-year framework. . .

Ok, so if Voyager was hugging the toilet, puking your guts out like it was the worst hang-over of your life and feeling the full effects of dysentery--- while at the same time swelling from the mix of bee stings and poison ivy [both of which you're allergic too]...
and Enterprise is three times better... what is one-third of the above. Worst hang-over of the year, feeling the effects of eating extremely rich chocolate cake after showing off your piggish-self at the buffet--- while at the same time wishing you had avoided that cloud of mosquitoes.
Giving that one is bad, even if the other is three times better... that doesn't make it good. Voyager sucked, Enterprise doesn't do any better, and even if it did three times better than Voyager that doesn't help it either.

Enterprise has had at least as good a first two seasons as TNG (far better in my opinion) and has had moments aproaching (sometimes equal to) Deep Space Nine.
I know it's supposedly fun to bash Enterprise, but I at least look forward to the new episodes whereas I missed many Voyager episodes between second and fourth season that I have never had the urge to go back and watch.

Hey I like Enterprise. It is the only show (besides the simpsions) that my family gets together to watch.

And here again - the debate is reiterated! Having watched Star Trek since the original, and following each and ever star trek series that followed ... Voyager, in my opinion, is the worst of them all.
Enterprise is good - TNG was awesome after season 3 - and DS9 was fab after season 2 ! Voyager never really seemed to get out of Season 1 jitters! There were some inspired episodes.. but i never liked any of the relationships in Voyager... Janeway always fought with 7of9 - 7of9 rebelled, Chakotay took Janeway's side, but falls in love with 7of9 in the last few episodes.. Paris is a playboy that falls in love with a klingon woman.. Harry never gets laid... Tuvok is a woosy.. neelix was useless..
Nothing seemed to fit in allof that.. anyways.. i digress... we have had this discussion before.. and we all have our opinions *(tho' mine was nowhere near as colorful as the one expressed above)*
One of the major reasons people don't like Ent. is cuz of it's continuity issues - which i ignore alot of the time - i watch it for the sheer entertainment value of the show - and have learn to just accept what i see and enjoy it. Granted there have been some 'not-so-good' episodes.. but on the whole.. it's exceeded my expectations.
That being said!!! - cuz now we're off topic in a way...
I hope Ent. fullfills 7 seasons - and it sucks that we're gonna be short two eps...
They should make a 3 hour episode and use that in the off-season to quench our thirst!! - span the 3 hour ep of a three-day mini-series type special..

I can live without the two episodes if those episodes were to involve the crew devolving into lizzards, Neandertals, Transwarp salamanders or the ship becoming some library's recollection of an aincent city.
So mabye it's not such a bad thing after all.

Hmm. When I first heard this rumor, I thought that perhaps ENT was cutting the two eps so that they'd have more money to put into making the remaining episodes of the season better-than-average. If what Jason is saying is true, then that's sadly not the case. Oh, well.
And for my VOY opinion, the show had great potential, and its first two seasons, even with goofiness like the Kazon-Ogla, were pretty good. After that, however, it went downhill.

That implies plural. It came out of nowhere in the last ep, IIRC.
