hey I'm kinda new to the whole star trek thing and i figured it would be good to watch enterprise first since it's set before the federation was formed etc. anyhow i was just wondering has enterprise been cancelled after season 2? i thought this because there was no major dvd release of it and it was only released on VHS i since heard the VHS's had been stopped and were unavailable for purchase.. i may have heard wrong, basicaly could someone tell me if there will be a season 3?
 
Hi Blind and welcome to ASciFi, I hope you enjoy yourself here and look forward to more posts from you.

If 'Enterprise' is to be cancelled it's the first I've heard. There has been some strong recent criticism of the series, but it is still very popular compared to other scifi shows, and one of UPN's most popular shows. There has been a survey done that it has less female viewers than other series, which may worry them a little, but isn't that unexpected since they have gone out of there way to make it more appealing to the male 18-30 year old demographic.

I haven't yet read the spoilers on the season 2 finale 'Expanse' but there's talk that this episode will start the redefinition of the NX-01's mission. I could only speculate what Rick Berman means by that but he certainly could only do it in a third season.

Whether 'Enterprise' will last seven seasons is another matter, ratings have been falling severely in season 2, and if this "new direction" turns out to be much the same direction as 'Voyager' went and 'Enterprise' has been going, I think they are likely to fall even further. Read more of the criticisms in the thread in Trek General Discussions.
 
Hi :wave:

The thing with Trek and DVDs is that they seem to be starting at the beginning and working their way through. A few years ago they released the original series in Single volumes. Then, over the last year or two they released The Next Gen in DVD boxsets per season, they are now onto Deep Space Nine. I guess we will get Voyager sometime next year, and Enerprise sometime after that.

Here's a link to the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/026-2090624-3047659

It is surprising that they haven't been releaing Enterprise in DVD volume by volume as they have with the VHS tapes - I am sure they would have sold a lot of copies.
 
hey, thanks for the re assurance dave, i would hate to see enterprise cancelled i think it has great potential to be a really intresting series, as for the DVD's thanks for the information tabitha, i will deffo be looking for enterprise dvd box sets in the future.
 
When quizzed by journalists about a third season, the UPN entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in January 2003:

Enterprise, as far as we know, will be back.

She is the one with the purse strings.
