Alas, I can't subscribe to every little thing ... so CBS is out and thus so is Discovery. I understand your views on Enterprise. I loved the characters and the first 2 seasons ... then it sort of imploded and lost it.

Interesting. I bailed out about halfway through the first episode of ENT, but I was under the impression that the show improved a lot toward the end. It was too late, though. ENT was cancelled before it went the planned 7 years.

I don't think they really understood the appeal of Trek. TNG had yuuuuuge ratings. Even when it was cancelled, it was in the top 3 of US shows. DS9 started out with similar ratings, but they fell sharply. So they decided that VOY would be "not like DS9." Not as dark, no story arcs, more action and less characterization. Only to see VOY's ratings fall through DS9's floor, and keep dropping (yes, even after Seven joined the cast). So ENT was supposed to be "not like VOY." And its ratings plunged through VOY's floor.
