Oh, no, you just haven't lived through such a situation. Believe me, it's far better to have a few weeks of repeats in between new episodes than having the repeats after the new episodes and being bored because there isn't anything worth watching on TV. Currently, on cable here they are just showing reruns of the first half of S2 of ENT, after having shown them first - the second half will have to wait until the reruns are over. Fortunately, I have the current (S3) episodes to watch. And on local TV, what they usually did with a multi-season show was show the whole first season, repeat it, show the whole second season, repeat the first, then the second, show the third, repeat the first, second and third, show the fourth, etc., which was even more exasperating. And you're complaining because there are a few weeks of reruns?

Of course, ideally (for me, at least), they should start with half a season of new episodes from S1, then alternatively show a new episode and a repeat from then on. And of course, once the series is over, there's still half a season of repeats.

I get stranded on a remote Scottish island, and don't have net access for a week, and finally get online, then come here and the top thread on the list is this one. "Oh," I think, "fucking typical, they cancel the show and I miss the fireworks. . ."

Production on Enterprise season 3 wrapped up yesterday. At the party
afterwards, one MAJOR cast member was overheard saying he did NOT expect to
be back for a 4th season. The overall mood at the party was gloomy and low-
key. The cast and crew was understandably tired, but there was also a
palpable sense of frustration at the lack of a decision regarding
Enterprise's future and the lack of any encouragement from the network. It
seems many of the people behind the scenes feel that the franchise is about
to shut down and that yesterday was Star Trek's final day in production.

By the poster's name, I wonder if that's the same usual "reliable source" TGL has quoted sometimes... So far, I haven't heard anything on the subject anywhere else.

They'll keep the other junk because those are MUCH cheaper and easier to make money on... That's what may kill Enterprise - cost relative to profit. Sorry - but it's true.

Nothing like a well placed rumor is there?
I recall a "reliable source" saying that Worf was to die in DS9's final episode while killing Dukat in the DS9 finale.

Sounded plausable at the time but it was, of course, total bullshit.

I sincerely hope that they DO NOT cancel "Enterprise". This is coming from someone who vehemnently objected to a 5th series. Season 3 has been fantastic (from what I have seen *downloaded*) BRILLIANT even. There have been some episodes that rival the best TNG and DS9 - even in Season 1 and season 2.

"Regeneration" - the episode I thought I was going to hate with a passion actually was one of the best Borg episodes in YEARS - probably better than all the Borg episodes of Voyager... in that episode I actually was again worried about the Borg and not just "oh they'll press the reset button".

I love Hoshi Sato - they need to do SO much more for her.

If the cancel Enterprise - after cancelling ANGEL (is it too late for Angel - can it be saved?) I'm gonna be mightily pissed off.

Here's a new show: A vampire fights to save television shows - helping the helpless fighting against evil television studios.
