Old data, but I think the average ratings for Enterprise will probably stay between 4-5 million.

Yeah, if the ratings are like that, think about what it would be if B&B/Paramount got smart and syndicated it to NBC/ABC/CBS...

What's awful about that is that there are actually 3-4 Million that are WATCHING that steaming pile of shit!!! Those fucking Trektard zombies are one of the BIG contributing reasons why these shows are sucking so abd. They give B&B the ability to point to ratings and say "Look, if we Bragga sits on the bowl and lets out a nice big turd, we slap Trek on it and all those little zombies will watch it."
Fuck them, I blame them more than B&B for the downward spiral this franchise has taken!!

That is the reason I download episodes, don't have to support them that way.
And I will continue to do so until they clean up their act and somehow figure out how to salvage the show. All I know is, they better have 5 kick-arse seasons coming up, or they are going to destroy what is left of the Trek franchise and fan base. When I say fan base, I mean real Trek fans, not the little fanboys who watch it because they know nothign of continuity and think it looks cool.

What makes you think Enterprise will last that long?

If Voyager is any indication...

The Law of Entropy states that things will continue to become more chaotic.
We can modify that law to fit this situation.
The Law of Degradation: Inevitably, it WILL get worse.

Thats what I also did till the show became to horrible to watch.

Only 57%? I can't see how people can keep watching that crap. Guess this confirms that Trekkies are not human.

There is a large fanboy following of Enterprise because of the 'cool' factor of it. They like the eye candy and watching the boobie.
Wait a second...
Don't we all like that?

UPN's contract is for seven seasons of
Enterprise. Don't know how the fuck the show is suposed to last that long though, as I think it will be cancelled by the fourth season.

Unless they do something REALLY spectacular, I agree.

They'd have to dump the Temporal Cold War shit first of all.
Have they even brought that up again so far this season?

Nah, AFAIK they created it as if were going to be an important story arc and dropped it suddenly. Anyways, the whole premise sounded stupid to me. I'd be glad if they dropped it.
Rather, I'd like to see the Romulan/Earth wars. And the formation of the Federation would be nice. But considering the show B&B has been putting on, it's likley we'll get random, unconnected, snore-inducing "adventures" for another season or two before its inevitable cancellation.

Ah, so the
Voyager Reset Button is still at work, eh?

Hey, if I wanted to see boobs and implausible plot-lines, I'd go download some porn!

I have to agree. Maybe if they had some really kick-ass battles, it'd be tolerable even if only for the battles and tits, but considering that a) Jolene Blalock is not that attractive, and b) the current producers at Paramount could not put together a decent battle sequence if their lives depended on it, it's not even worth the electrical power that would be used by my brain to get my body from here to the TV.

The guy who said this was talking about Voyager rather than Enterprise but his point still stands:
"If all you're looking for is pretty women dressed skimpily, there are
better ways to satisfy that desire than watching such a spectacularly
awful Star Trek series." -- Erik Max Francis
