I just read an interview with Scott Bakula, who did a great job in Quantum Leap, but sucks in Enterprise. Here are some tidbits from the interview along with my comments.

stasakeru828: Hey Scott! What was it like working with Brent Spiner?
SB: Spiner and I had entirely too much fun. He is such a funny, dry, clever person and obviously was very comfortable on the set with the crew. It was kind of like old home week for all of them, so we all mostly just kicked back and watched Brent do his thing, which was pretty amazing to watch. He’s a great actor and we were very fortunate that he agreed to do the show and bring that character to life, which I thought he did amazingly well.
My comment: lazy bums

GreatThor: All of Scotland would like to know how did the ladies look in the mirror universe in their retro uniforms? As we have to wait a long while to see it because Season 4 doesn’t start for us until March.
Scott Bakula: Let me just say … it’ll be worth waiting for.
My comment: more soft porn from B&B

JWolf: How do you feel about Enterprise being cancelled, and what were the reasons for the decision to cancel the show? I am a life long Star Trek fan as are many others and this is a total shock.
Scott Bakula: Well, I’m disappointed, and everyone involved with the show is disappointed. Obviously we’re all very emotionally attached to the show and we’re all having a great time making the show. So you would like that kind of a situation to continue.
Unfortunately we don’t fit into UPN’s business plan and really haven’t for the last two and a half years. So that’s a situation that’s out of our control and ultimately has no reflection on our show or the quality of our show. Or the commmitment of all of our fans.
My Comment: Hahaha!

Well, there you have it. ENT is something that attempts to imitate the coolness of TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY, but fails miserably…Here’s a little chart:

TOS

3 seasons, 7 movies

TNG

7 seasons, 4 movies

DS9

7 seasons

VOY

7 seasons

ENT

4 seasons, and it was almost canned after the first 3

This means that if it wasn’t for few determined individuals at Paramount, there would be only 3 seasons of ENT. For those that do not know, TOS had only 3 seasons, because CBS didn’t see it as something worth pursuing. Later on, Paramount made 7 movies with the TOS crew!
