I loved Enterprise. While the first two seasons were geared towards getting non-trek fans into it, the third and fourth seasons were geared towards those that had been with Star Trek for ages. Those two seasons were great! And the acting was great! The writting could have improved a bit. And the time slot not being changed around, and more advertising on other stations (most fans I know don't watch UPN except for Enterprise). Then the changing of the time slot (and lack of advertisement on the change) to compete against Sci-Fi Fridays was the stupidest idea ever considering that most of the fans of Star Trek are also Stargate fans. The ratings at their lowest were still much higher than many shows on tv that are considered "successful." So dispite what they say about it being the ratings, it was UPN's politics that killed the show. These include such things as UPN trying to gear everything towards the females and black communities, and some of UPN's top offices being held by people who don't like any Star Trek to begin with.
