Ahh, yes, it’s good to see Enterprise getting the love it deserves, especially for those whom resistance was adamant!

Fav eps: Carbon Creek, In a Mirror Darkly In& II, anything from the last half of season 3 into all of season 4!

Peace. Live long and prosper.

Yes, HDNet isn’t available in my area. I so wish SciFiHD would actually show Enterprise in HD.

Who hear would not set their TV tuners to the Star Trek channel, as Voyager started back in 1995 I pointed out that the UPN could use Trek shows instead of Infomercials late at night, back When StarTrek[dot]com was a Paramount honored site. The feedback I got said impossible unless CBS could get their greedy share.

The odd thing is I recall seeing Star Trek on NBC back in the 1960’s, and I have many fan created Fan episodes that also need to be shown on the Trek channel.

But since Brick & Mortar TV stations are costly, how about the “WWW.Trek.TV” that could be for Broadband connections, and DVD (like NetFlixs) for modem people.

So CBS thinks they would want their profit share, make the rental fees on the medium items, not on the Copyrighted script/show content.

In the worst case TrekMovie.com could start the Broadband Trek Channel. since they are closed to Web neighborhood than me as a fan will ever be.

Not only did Spike pull DS9, they also yanked 7 Days, a highly underappreciated series. While I agree it oozed machismo at every turn during the final season and was made on a shoestring budget, it had a great concept at its root.

And being a nighthawk by nature, I miss DS9, the best of the Treks.

#56—-I’d watch.

Even though I have all of my favorite Star Trek (TOS, original films, TAS, ENT, collective sets) on dvd, it would be nice to watch some of the Trek in which I have a lesser interest whenever I get the urge, without the necessity of investing money in expensive box sets.

This channel could show documentaries, interviews, have fan convention coverage, contests, etc., as well as air the ten movies and 5 television series and animated episodes. It would also open up a venue for “made for tv movie” Trek—perhaps even an original series made for the Star Trek channel!

Oh well, a fan can dream…

We just need to make a Star Trek channel, and put all the series on it.

6, fortunately the Trek DVDs aren’t as expensive as they used to be but they are still more expensive when you compare them against season sets of other popular shows. I have all of Trek on DVD but I got them over a period of a few years.

51, probably M*A*S*H if you’re talking about reruns. That’s okay though since I like M*A*S*H and I don’t have it on DVD.

50, ENT would have finished it’s seventh, and keeping with Trek tradition, last season just this last year if it hadn’t been canceled. I loved ENT along with every other Trek series and I also wish it hadn’t been canceled. It has a lot of unrealized potential and is the most underrated Trek show in history. In fact my screen name “LoyalStarTrekFan” comes from my annoyance with Trek fans who could do nothing but criticize and who I feel, in part, severely damaged the franchise. There were other factors of course, but the constant bitter statements about ENT when it was on air didn’t help matters.

#7, I think that might be true to an extent and I hope more people at least give it a second chance. But we cannot force it upon anyone, obviously.

I loved the show from “Broken Bow” to the bitter end. The Mirror Universe two parter is my favorite episode of the series and in my top 5 for all of TV Trek. It is also the reason I will not be buying TOS-R.
