About
This page is to help Star Trek Enterprise live on past it's fourth season. We want to see more adventures of Captain Jonathan Archer and the valiant crew of the NX-01. Watch Enterprise on Netflix! Spread the word!
Description
When Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled, it's ratings were still good enough to keep it on the air. Studio and network politics were instrumental in it's demise. So the voyages of the NX-01, with Captain Archer, Trip, T'Pol, and the rest of the crew ended just as the show was finally beginning to get it's legs. Nearly all of us agree that the fourth and prematurely final season of Enterprise demonstrated that this show was a late bloomer.
A new day has dawned for the way television is produced. No longer do three networks decide what you get to watch. It started with cable. A place where the audience pays for the shows they love by subscribing. Now the next huge step has taken place. The ability to stream the shows you want, when you want them, from the Internet. Today, Netflix, Hulu, Kickstarter, and Amazon are challenging the way television is funded, and the way it is decided what gets made.
Interesting things have happened in the last year. Netflix began producing original programming, bringing back popular shows that the stodgy old programming model had done away with. "Arrested Development" is back in production. "House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey is doing well. The producer of "Veronica Mars" raised 3 million dollars on Kickstarter to make a movie from a show that the network thought no one watched.
Can we get that fifth season of Enterprise which chronicles the Romulan War? See our crew back with a dazzling refit NX-01? Folk's, It ain't impossible. Throughout Star Trek's history, it's fans have moved mountains. We can do this, it's it not that difficult. Watch Enterprise on Netflix. Even if you just run an episode while working around the house, that will build numbers, and attract attention. One thing we know for certain, the apparatus that brings us the shows we love will follow the money.
JJ Abram's is making Trek movies. If we're lucky (and you enjoy his take on Gene Roddenberry's masterpiece) we get one every 2-3 years. We've learned something from this Star Trek drought... we miss that golden age of Star Trek, with it's intimate storylines. So gang, spread the word, share the FB page, and most of all, run Enterprise on Netflix. It ain't over til it's over, and we're owed three more season of Enterprise. We can't be afraid of the wind.

Trip was easily one of my favorite members of the cast. And dang did he die like a man.
The downside I see is that the actors haven't been kept on ice all this time - they're all visibly older than they were.
Also, I cannot in good conscience lend my report to any proposal which I cannot read without gritting my teeth. You do not need to put an apostrophe before every single terminal S!! That's to be used when the terminal S is part of a contraction (as in "that's", a contraction of "that is"), to indicate something has been taken out in contracting two (or sometimes more) words into one. It is not merely "a thing that goes in front of an S!" </rant>
Long live Enterprise! It may have had a rough start, but so did TNG, DS9, and VOY. All of which got the seven seasons they deserved.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

*facepalm's* /intended hrrhrr
my thoughts on the whole thing:
-> making pro Star Trek waves is GOOD, no matter if we get this show resumed or just show enough demand that they might just start to think about the next Series a bit earlier
-> if there is a snowballs chance in hell that they would resume the show, it is worth a try
-> they brought Shatner and Crew back for TMP years after TOS was canceled, i do see no reason why this could not happen here.
-> With the Refit of the NX-01 they would get a few Bridge upgrades so it doesn't even have to look exactly the same.
-> so the Romulan War may happen a few years later... big effing deal *shrug*
... i have no facebook account so no like from me
... germany doesn't have Netflix so no views from me
so all i can do is spread the word... and maybe buy some BluRays when i got some money to waste...
I forgot about that little fact lol.. my bad

And even though the books aren't exactly cannon, if you read the ENT relaunch books, you find out that Trip isn't actually dead. I won't go any further than that to avoid spoilers in case anyone wants to find out for themselves. The book is "The Good That Men Do" by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin. Highly recommend that you check it out.
I think I'm going to be buying a book this weekend lol

Archer: "T'Pol, we need to fight those Klingons that are boarding the Enterprise.... get my walker !"
T'Pol: "Get it yourself ! I'm experiencing the first violent onslaught of Men'Po !"
Archer: " What the hell is Men'Po ?!"
T'Pol: "Vulcan menopause !"

In all seriousness ... the actors' ages don't really matter, as long as they can still do their acting. Sulu, for example, appeared in VOY "Flashback" while supposedly the same age he was in TUC.

+/- 10 years isn't too difficult to do with makeup on most actors. Sounds like they managed to pass off the Arrested Development cast as a year older when the new season was filmed six years after the last. A new Enterprise season could easily be set several years later to trim down the difference.
Get Leonard Nimoy and Eric Bana to guest star in the big-budget pilot, which ends with the Nararda and the Jellyfish getting sucked into Spock's black hole as our new ship of heroes looks on. Then they go off from there alternately helping and fighting the Romulans and finding new friends and foes and boldly going etc.

Why can't we have both?
(preferably not at the same time, though)

Either way, I have no problem watching Enterprise in it's entirety... again. And this idea absolutely has my support.
The question though; would a new show be a prequel to the season #4 ending, or a continuation? If I remember rightly, that episode had the Enterprise decommissioned. Can't really have a show called 'Enterprise' when they're serving on a ship with a different name. :P
But yeah, a 5th season would have my support, but I can't realistically see it happening, not now. The dust has settled, and (as much as it pains me to say) they should probably leave it be.
What we need is a brand new show; another reboot that doesn't tie in to either Abram-verse, or Roddenberry-verse. They just need to implement such without the use of time travel, cause that always fails unless you're The Doctor.
you are forgetting the awful timetravelling :P the thing that started the demise of ENT in the first place. who is to say the enterprise was retired after 15 years of service.
its not just ent i want returned, but b5 crusade only had 13 episodes and there was DSV and firefly as well.. i also wouldnt mind seeing a spinoff of farscape either.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

If it weren't for "In a Mirror Darkly" I wouldn't have recognized Jolene Blalock. :P And when did Connor Trinneer grow a goatee?!? :eek:

Eh, they could still do a series.
