trekzone 0 Posted October 24, 2004 01.09.04 - The Save Star Trek: Enterprise Campaign In 2003 Star Trek: Enterprise took a new direction inside the Delphic Expanse, with new crew members; a new T'Pol; a very different Trip and a dedicated Archer - but would it work to re-kindle dwindling ratings? Only time and a dedicated team of people would tell. A dedicated group of people built a website over at www.saveenterprise.com - dedicated to saving the wonderful series. Letter writing, complementary letters to sponsors and the United Paramount Network across the production year was their aim. But the ratings continued to dwindle, UPN was announcing that it was going to axe the series - and with the gaming side of Trek non-existant and the latest movie - Star Trek: Nemesis - not received well in the cinemas - it looked like the series was going to go. But at the press party - where the television networks release their fall line-up - UPN announced Star Trek: Enterprise season 4, to the delight of many fans. But rumours continued of the series demise, with the price for an episode dropped from a reported $US1.8 million to a reported $US900, 000. Also Rick Berman one of the two 'show runners' dropped from his position to deal with the more day-to-day running of the show, while Manny Coto stepped up to become an Executive Producer, show runner and chief writer. Hopefully this change of crew would assist the series. It looks like it worked, as Manny has already radicly altered the series to fall more in line with The Original Series and beyond - established Trek lore. Manny Coto is well received by TREKZONE.org amongst other fans.
