Hehe, oops. Guess I should have said Starhawk, not Alarikf But yes, I was reading your mind. That's a much more interesting explanation

AT maybe Enterprise was not a good show And it could not bring in the viewers. Just about every trek person I know hates it and its rehashed stories.

Also the premise of each story (also the series) is so generalized that it is competely worthless. Conflicts and the inner conflicts of the characters were based on sterotypes. Which did not add depth to the characters and really showed how cookie cutter the characters were when faced with overcoming the weekly static conflict.

I think that the Star Trek Fans have evolved , unfortantly the producers of the show have not and hoped that we would tread down familiar paths of all the previous series not realizing that they were worn out.

i am glad it is done.

Star Trek AND Star Wars BOTH ending in May 2005??

Its the SciFi Apocolypse!!!!!

TEN YEARS YIKES NO I'd be 28 dang it and I don't want to wait that long (grrraaaaar)
HA! Try waiting 20 years for the end of a story. I saw Star Wars 20 times back in 1977.... I'll be in line at midnight to see the story "end" on May 19, 2005. The last 2 movies have not been as good as the original, imho, but then, Enterprise has not had 1/2 the draw for me as TNG too.

And I just CANT get into the only other SciFi show in town: Stargate. Can't stand that show, Battlestar Galactica is soft core porn (fine, if thats what you want, but I really wanted a Science Fiction show, myself...) and Enteprise is ending (its not that good anyway...).

Not a good time to be a SciFi fan, guess its time to go back to reading SciFi...

Any one who knocks Stargate is to be hung from the nearest tree with a sign around their stretched necks that reads: "Anti Stargate member"

BSG is surprisingly good. I have to admit it, the shows just kept getting better. The ending episode was especially good with a sudden ending that even surprised the hell out of me. And that does not happen very often. (The ending of the Sixth Sense was the last thing that surprised me.)

There are people who don't like Stargate?!?!
To those people, I say:
Jaffa, kree!

I think Stargate is one of the best sci-fi shows around. It's got a good mix of science fiction, comedy, and human drama.
Same goes for BSG. (well, maybe not so much of the comedy. of course, i've only seen up to the episode where Starbuck goes missing)It tells a real good human drama.
