Oh I could go on and on...
I do hope all my Firefly friends work hard to beat up every ENT fan they see. They deserve it.
What the hell are you so mad about? You don't like the show? Fine, don't watch it. People like you try to ruin any thread that you don't like or agree with. I wonder if you would use the same tough language if you were face to face with the person or persons that you are insulting instead of sitting behind a computer on an anonymous site like this one. Well, I'm a huge fan of Firefly and I like Enterprise as well. You gonna beat me up? You give all of us a bad name. Threatening violence to a fellow Browncoat just because he likes a show that you do not? Give me a break. Oh well, if you must have the blood of an Enterprise fan on your hands, look me up if you are ever in B'ham. But for now, why don't you just accept the fact that people like different things. Just because you don't agree does not make them wrong. I don't watch the majority of the genre shows that are discussed on this site, but I don't bash the people that do enjoy them. Take a break from spewing your hateful words and learn a lesson from Haken.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Even joking about physical violence is unworthy of those who would call one another comrade.
I suggest such talk be left for the alley and playground Browncoats.

Well, that's three of you attacking my opinion (as if it were unique 
). Should I wait until you all get matching metal pipes (with stylish nails) to beat me with?
See, I desided to leave the poor guy who started this thread alone. If you want my opinion just go to the TrekBBS and use the search for posts by Plum. I've already written thousands of pages on it... been there, done that.
Would it freak ya out to find out I was the guy who suggested the so called Xindi arc? Search TrekBBS hard.
Look... everything I wrote has been discussed, written about, and deconstructed, for the last three years regarding ENTERPRISE. If you aren't aware of these things you are living under a rock...
... and don't have a frellin' clue.
Oh, and to add - if ENT does comes back that will nix chances for Firefly returning to the TV. If you don't know why you are stillunder that rock I mentioned.
Peace out. Frell ENT up the warp nacelle. And to the rest of you: grow some sagacity

Now, a lack of genre TV is another matter, but I still don't understand supporting a show you don't watch - why should a studio make a series for people who like the concept of it being on TV, if only it were a different and better show?
I guess what I'm saying is, if you want to support the show, you need to watch it, buy the DVDs, T-shirts and mugs, action figures, comics and calenders and let them see the money flowing into the coffers. Attach all the receipts to your letter saying you like the show, and see if that gets a decent reception.

I kinda like CSI! CSI:Miami doesn't work so well for me, and Law and Order leaves me cold.
Bring back Homicide:Life on the Streets I say!
I would guess that if UPN dropped Enterprise, they would rest the Trek brand for a while, but that they would replace it with another genre show - all the networks are aware that SF shows have the ability more than any other genre to merchandise and make money during the life of the show, rather than drip-fed in syndication.
They also have the ability to jump to the movies, and massage the egos of the producers who can leap from TV to film. Every network would like to find the next Star Trek or X-Files and (fingers crossed) Firefly. Heck, they'd kill for a Babylon 5 which has earned plenty in the past 10 years.
We may start seeing more and more that the route to a TV series is via a successful film (see Van Helsing and Transylvania, Serenity and FF (again, crossing the lot) and Out of Sight/Karen Sisco).
Ready made audience (provided the gap isn't too great),aids international sales etc.

I like CSI too, but the problem is there are too many variations on the same theme. We have CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Navy NCIS, and Cold Case. And for Law and Order, we have Law and Order, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Well, you get the idea.

yeah dont flame the guy! I wish him luck. I love the Trek Universe.
Enterprise had some good bits to it, but the Trek Universe peaked with DS9 and First Contact, but since then the franchise has needed a rest desperatly, IMO.
Like I said, good luck, but for the long term of the Trek universe, I hope the let the NX-01 sail off into the sunset.

This is something that always bothered me. I wonder if UPN would have picked up Firefly had Enterprise not been around? Between the two shows, UPN would have done so much better with Firefly.
Ah well...

Well, I like Enterprise more now. Season 3 has been a lot better than season 1 and 2.

I have an idea. Let's get Joss to bring back Firefly on TV with a whole assortment of Firefly related shows.
Firefly, Firefly: Jaynestown, Firefly: Badger's Den, Firefly: Companion's in the City, Firefly: Ariel ER.
I think it would work. I would watch all of 'em!
Oh, and as far as ENT is concerned... PPfffffftttttt... stinky, stinky show!
I call her "Vera"
