Star Trek Actor Details Working With Both William Shatner and Patrick Stewart

Star trek legend jonathan frakes to direct new sci-fi series, star wars' new sith may have a tragic connection to this jedi.

The fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise promised to be an amazing one, with a reported plethora of concepts making full use of its unique take on the Star Trek universe. Unfortunately, the show was canceled after Season 4 , following a contentious shake-up in the boardroom of its parent companies. Trek fans have long lamented the lost opportunity, citing the show’s creative progress in Season 3 and the sense that it was canceled just as it found its footing.

Looking at the proposed content of Season 5, it’s easy to justify the excitement. The vast bulk of public information was revealed at 2009’s VegasCon when producers Manny Coto and Brannon Braga talked about their ideas. The topics spread far and wide, and time constraints alone would have prevented at least some of them from reaching the screen. But they spoke volumes about what Enterprise always had the potential to be; it just never got the chance.

Some of Enterprise 's direction could be predicted, particularly the choice of villains. The series ended at the start of the Earth-Romulan War in 2155, and considering its importance in Trek lore, the fifth season promised to go into depth about the war and the creation of the Neutral Zone that marked its end. The Borg  were also to be prominent subjects, with Alice Krige supposedly returning for the origins of the Collective and its Queen.

Coto singled out Jeffrey Combs as someone they wanted to see a lot more of. Shran and the Andorians marked one of Enterprise’s creative high points, and Coto suggested he might join the Enterprise permanently as an advisor similar to T’Pol. In addition to his status as Archer’s best frenemy, it would have allowed for the trio to act as stand-ins for the three “core” Federation species, with the show playing out the government’s early disagreements and common goals through them.

The Original Series  received its share of callbacks too, particularly the Mirror Universe. Season 4, Episodes 18 and 19, “In a Mirror Darkly,” remain one of Enterprise’s high points. As such, the producers teased a Season 5 multi-episode mini-arc and the possibility that the entire season would take place in the Mirror Universe. Coto also expressed a keen interest in Ardana, the planet from The Orginal Series  Season 3, Episode 19, “The Cloud Minders,” who Kirk navigated through a brutal class war. Enterprise  charted the beginning of that conflict, providing another firm link between it and classic Star Trek .

But perhaps the biggest missed opportunity may have come with a longer and more elegant resolution of the Temporal Cold War subplot, which had been part of the show from the beginning. Like much of Enterprise , the temporal Cold War needed more time to develop, rather than the truncated conclusion in Season 4. More specifically, it would have revealed the identity of “Future Guy,” the 28th-century benefactor of the terrorist Cabal. Possibilities included anything from a Romulan to an older version of Archer himself.

All of that falls into the realm of what might have been.  Enterprise had to make the best of what it had rather than fully mining its creative concepts the way it should have. But the wealth of ideas on display in the producers’ speculations indicates Enterprise  had a great deal more to say and do, with plenty of content left behind when it ended. Star Trek fell silent for a few years after that, at least as far as TV shows and movies went. Looking back, it makes the loss of a fifth season all the more painful.

Scott Bakula Explains How ‘Enterprise’ Could Have Run 7 Seasons; Says He’s Open To Returning To Star Trek

| January 16, 2023 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 149 comments so far

We are still looking over all the great panels held during the weekend TREKtalks2 fundraiser livestream event. The event ended with a rare appearance of Scott Bakula. The Star Trek: Enterprise star doesn’t do a lot of conventions or Star Trek interviews, but he showed up for his former co-star John Billingsley to support the Hollywood Food Coalition . Bakula touched on some of the same issues covered in last week’s TrekMovie interview with Billingsley , and offered some hope that he would actually return to the role of Jonathan Archer.

How Enterprise could have run for 7 seasons

One of the issues Bakula discussed was how he sees Enterprise ‘s cancellation after 4 seasons due to problems at UPN. He points to changes at the Viacom-owned network during the 2001-2005 era when Enterprise was on the air, affirming his belief the show would have matched the 7-season runs of the three previous Star Trek series if it had been distributed through syndication (like The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine ):

Had we been syndicated, we would have gotten an easy seven, easy breezy. And our numbers were beyond what anybody else had done when we started out, but the nature of network television… it was just a different animal. There were lots of changes in the hierarchy, of not only Paramount but of the network. And we were there at an kind of an unfortunate time. And yet I still have to say, gratefully, we got four seasons. But yeah, it would have been nice to do more. We certainly had more stories to tell, we have places to go, but it didn’t work out. You can’t really point a finger at one person or another. There were so many elements to the beginning of UPN and the transition there in terms of [UPN President] Dean [Valentine] leaving [ in 2002 ]. And just people at Paramount left also. A lot of champions that were Star Trek folks kind of left during the course of the four years. It was a strange time and volatile time. But we slugged our way through it. And I’m so glad that we got the four years because there was a moment when we were only going to have three and that would have been a real shame.

One year after Enterprise was canceled, UPN ceased to exist. The network combined with The WB to form The CW, a joint venture between CBS and Warner Brothers. Only a handful of former UPN shows made the transition to The CW, with Veronica Mars being the sole scripted drama to do so.

Open to returning to Trek

When asked if he would follow in the footsteps of Patrick Stewart and other Star Trek veteran actors to return to the role of Jonathan Archer, Bakula was open to the idea. The actor says that if he got a call from executive producer Alex Kurtzman, he would hear him out:

I’ve been doing this too long to ever say never or no to anybody. I talk to everybody about stuff. So, sure.

He also indicated he is open to following other legacy actors in lending his voice to an animated Trek show:

I’ve done a bunch of animated voice-over work and animation, so I enjoy it. It just hasn’t come across my desk. But I do appreciate being referred to as “legacy” as opposed to “old Trek.” That’s very nice.

Bakula being open to a return to Trek may be a surprise to his former Enterprise co-star John Billingsley, who last week told TrekMovie he didn’t see that happening, at least not as a regular. Bakula made big news last year when he chose not to participate in NBC’s reboot of Quantum Leap , so he has a history of saying no.

Talking in general about how the Star Trek franchise continues to create new shows, Scott discussed why he still sees the franchise as relevant:

The reason that it stays relevant, sadly, is that we have most of the same issues still exists on our planet. We have not made the jump to figuring out that we’re all in this together… that’s straight out of the Trek playbook. And we got to settle that on this planet first, and we’re a long, long way from that, apparently, judging by how we’re living amongst each other. So those stories, they remain relevant and poignant. And however they’re parsed out in all these different incarnations, they’re valuable. I’ve always loved Trek because you gloss it over with the space stuff, but then you sneak all the hard stuff right through the middle of it. It’s a thing of beauty. It still is.

Thrilled to see new fans discover Enterprise

The actor also said he was pleased to know that people are still discovering Enterprise through streaming:

When we were in the midst of making the show and when we… got our fourth season done, we all talked about hoping that the show would be more appreciated as time went on. Because I felt like we achieved something pretty wonderful in those four years, especially, in my opinion, in the last two and a half years– that kind of building through the Xindi element and with the 9/11 component fusing the writers’ brains and minds and hearts. We were always hopeful, all of us. We had done a lot of good work and that we would hope that we would be appreciated as time marched on. I’m thrilled.

Bakula pointed to the show’s spirit of exploration as something he was particularly proud of:

I love that spirit of the show, which is what we were going for from the get-go. I liken it to the original show. And there was that that positive—my character had that going forward and that kind of wild west aspect of it all, but at the same time, let’s do something for humanity. Let’s put humanity out there in a good way. Let’s try and work with others. He didn’t go out with a lot of chips on his shoulder about who he would or wouldn’t do business with. Once he got past the Vulcan thing, I think he was pretty much free sailing. I was really, really pleased with where we ended up on the show.

Star Trek Team Was Top Fundraiser For Pancreatic Cancer Action Network 2024 Charity Walk

The CW could have followed up Enterprise with a Starfleet Academy series.

The CW settled quickly into a marketing vehicle for Paramount/CBS and WB to sell shows internationally and to streamers. In some ways it was a kind of syndication Mark II. The shows were never profitable on CW ad revenue alone.

It’s unfortunate that Enterprise wasn’t given the opportunity to be seen as an investment in that way.

The stupidest thing CW did was follow up Enterprise with a Britney Spears/Kevin Federline reality tv show. It lasted like 2 episodes.

I assume you meant UPN? Enterprise never made it to the CW.

So much Enterprise stories to tell. The Earth Romulan War. The founding of the Federation.

The Earth/Romulan war would have been a great story to see on screen. I’m sad we missed it

Yeah still plenty of stories to tell in the 22nd century. I would love to go back there one day.

we need to see Archer team up with Picard in a P+ movie ‘Star Trek Days of Generations Past’

I like the sound of that… a lot :-)

I’m not sure how much value there would be in watching Archer pushing a wheelchair around.

Don’t have to do that. You could show him in flashbacks or maybe some form of holographic recording and, of course, there’s ALWAYS time travel.

Your comment is a little odd because Bakula is almost 70 himself, no spring chicken either.

So he’d be pushing around the wheelchair very slowly, sitting down from time to time ;-)

Probably because Bakula is just more active and fit for his age in general. We all love Patrick Stewart but he does comes across as a lot more frail these days. Bakula still does actiony roles like on NCIS.

Yet Bakula turns 69 in a few months….whoops! :-)) lol

We. Need? No, we don’t. If you’d like it, that’s fine, but there are plenty of people out there who understand that Enterprise was a clusterf**k of a show.

There are plenty of people out there who understand that Enterprise was a clusterf**k of a show.

You said it. Failed series, less viewership every year (and within each season) as fans kept dropping out, deserved to be cancelled.

You have to remember this is the first enterprise ship to ever go out and explore. It looks outdated because it’s the very beginning of space travel by the Federation. You can’t expect great technology 150 yrs or so before capt Kirk.

Enterprise started out as a clusterf**k of a show but what star trek series other than TOS or SNW didn’t? They all happen that way. By season 3 and 4 Enterprise came into it’s own like every other Trek series did. It just didn’t get the chance to live on like the others did.

That opinion is not shared by everyone. As Wehmut posted today, and which I fully agree with, the first two seasons of Enterprise were actually superior to the final two. I am calling BS on the entire Many Coto Improved Enterprise narrative. The first two seasons were at least credible Star Trek, even though there were many boring eps and poorly drawn drama, while the last two seasons reeked of over-reaching fan service and dumbass storylines that were simply piss-poor Star Trek.

The Many Coto Improved Enterprise narrative is an urban legend — it’s a rewrite of history today by the small, yet vocal group of Enterprise fans who can’t accept that it was failed series. The fact is that in both of Coto’s seasons, not only did the viewership continue to be reduced from the previous seasons, but within each of those two seasons, fans kept dropping out week-to-week over the season. This is because it was bad Star Trek and as such fans were right then to bail out, and Moonvies was right to cancel it.

The thing is, Enterprise should never have had the whole future guy story. If it was going to be a prequel it should have just been that. A prequel. The whole guy from the future thing erased Enterprise completely because over the course of 22+ episodes you could never solve the resolution that people were tuning in for. and they meant it to go over multiple seasons which was never going to work. ever.

Fully agree on this point!

Remember… The Future Guy element was forced on the producers by the network. They wanted no part of it.

So we’re clear, when its said the first two seasons were superior, a decent comparison is to an old bottle of milk. The first two seasons, it just had that weird taste, before becoming a stinky, chunky mess the last two seasons.

Sorry. Manny Cato absolutely improved Enterprise. The show got noticeably better when he joined the writing staff and later took charge. This is hardly an “urban legend”. This is the consensus of fandom. Yes, the show did drop ratings the longer it ran. But one must remember the fans kept watching. They were the ones who saw the improvement after the general viewership was siphoning off. And at that point it really was too late to salvage given the goings on at the network at the time. They could have had a ratings spike and it was likely it still wouldn’t have made it through the merge.

I know there are Enterprise bashers out there. They are in the minority. Just as I am in the minority of TVH bashers. I know what that is like. But still must adhere to the reality that TVH was pretty well received by the general public.

Cato was awful. The last season was the worst thanks to him.

If you think Manny Coto is bad, imagine how others feel about Michelle Paradise and turning Discovery into a tedious bore and making it a Lifetime drama movie….in space. One of the worst show runners in Star Trek ever. She explained the Burn was due to some kid having a tantrum lol. Just so ridiculous.

There are a dozen episodes in season 4 of Enterprise I watch over and over again. Please list all the episodes you watch over and over again in season 4 of Discovery lol.

I strongly disagree. Season 1 and 2 for the most part very much felt like rejected scripts from Voyager . There was precious little ‘birth of the Federation’ stuff going on (and the few times they did are among the best episodes of those seasons.) Way too much Temporal Cold War (which never made a lick of sense) happening, and ridiculous ‘lets bring in the Ferengi and the Borg” stuff. Season 3 broke out and took on a Galactica -like gritty storyline, and then Season 4 finally lived up to the show’s original premise. On rewatch, Season 3 and 4 are much more enjoyable to me.

I agree season 3 was the break out season but I really liked season 2 as well.

I actually started to love the show by the second season. I think Enterprise got better every season. I think so many people including me was just tired in Star Trek in general by then, NOT happy it was a prequel (my biggest issue at the time) and yes the first season wasn’t great. But that’s a very common Star Trek trend lol. If it was the third or fourth show by then and not the fifth, more would’ve at least stuck around a little longer even if they still hate it by the end.

Although I will argue the new animated shows also had great first seasons, especially Prodigy.

It’s totally true that Star Trek wore out it’s welcome by that point. But here we are now with more Trek shows than on TV than ever before and it is going stronger than ever. So who knows? What I do know is that the whole future guy thing just didn’t work. If Enterprise was just a real prequel and acted as such it probably would have survived. BUt that whole future guy bs tanked it.

Because it’s only been a few years lol. Try 15 years later and then we’ll see. ;)

And we also have to remember most of these new shows only has 10 episodes a piece unlike the 25 episode seasons we used to get. The irony is we technically have more Star Trek shows but in terms of actual content it’s literally the same amount we got when two shows ran together in the 90s. And even less so because the animated shows are only 30 minutes.

And frankly people are excited to just have more Star Trek again in ANY form. I mean people complain about a lot of these new shows but they are still watching them every week. Because end of the day people want to be back in that universe again.

And while I didn’t love TCW I don’t think that was the sole reason people abandoned the show. I think there were tons of factors at the time, the biggest just being a prequel. That’s honestly I think one of its biggest issues. NO ONE was begging for a prequel at the time. No one is begging for more prequels now lol. Most people really wanted to keep going forward. Sure there were plenty of people excited over the birth of the Federation idea but I don’t think most cared at the time.

I remember people back then having the same issues asking why are they going backwards just like when it was revealed Discovery was a prequel. SNW got away with it for many reasons, the biggest being we now have four shows going forward again when it showed up. If it was the ONLY show like Enterprise was, people would still complain even if they really liked the show. Until Enterprise, people were used to going forward for 30 years at that point. Even ideas of TOS prequels like Spock and Kirk meeting at the academy never got off the ground because most people didn’t really want it at the time.

And of course that was the entire irony over TCW idea. It was the studio who pushed for it because they were afraid most fans didn’t want a prequel setting and wanted a way to still tell stories in the future if they had to. So even they weren’t convinced fans really wanted a prequel show.

Ironic about the prequel thing… I was actually excited for Enterprise when I heard it was going to be set before TOS. I thought that offered a new and fresh take over the sterile sameness we got from the other 3 spinoffs even though DS9 managed to put a positive spin on things.

I feel like you do about House of the Dragon. I’m just not interested in going back as it feels like the GoT history was well covered even in the run of the show. I’m FAR more interested in going forward in Westeros. I want to see where that world goes as they get advance in technology and in society. But that is not what we got, unfortunately.

The Enterprise premise did nothing for me when it was revealed. But I also really loved those 24th century shows. They are my top 3 shows in the franchise even now. But of course I’m just speaking for myself, I know there are plenty of people who wanted to go back and see first contact with the Klingons, wanted to see the Romulan war and all of that. I honestly never cared lol. Not remotely close. When it was revealed Discovery was going to show us the Klingon war I literally rolled my eyes…and still rolling them. ;D

But obviously I did ultimately come around. I love Enterprise today, really enjoying SNW so far and I now feel season 2 of Discovery was the best one even though I like it being in the far future. So obviously if something is good my mind can be changed. But overall I just think going forward is what Trek should be doing and obviously so do the people running it now thankfully, another reason I support Kurtzman,. But I think we’ll be getting more prequels as well. That’s fine, most of us just wanted a balance between the two, that’s all and now we got it.

It just used to really really irk me when ‘fans’ said you can’t do anything past post-Nemesis anymore and no one wants to see it anyway. I really hated these people lol. And yeah, they have been proven VERY wrong on both counts.

And I still haven’t watched the new GOT show either because yeah, like you,it just doesn’t interest me as a prequel. It’s not a Star Trek thing lol. But everyone including my brother who is a huge fantasy fan swears by it so I’ll check it out at some point.

I am watching it at the moment. But honestly, we aren’t seeing anything new. It just feels like GoT with new people. And the fact that it starts 170 before GoT… To me that is a negative. Not a positive. I’m FAR more interested in where the story goes from where GoT ended. They could even jump a generation and I’d be curious.

I never heard people say you couldn’t go forward from Nemesis. That makes no sense. It’s like saying they couldn’t go forward from TUC. (The era I WANT to see in a Trek show, just not one from Secret Hideout). There are plenty of shows that can be set in a just past Nemesis world.

I suspect like Star Trek, there will be plenty of GOT spin offs and one will be a sequel. But yeah the new show just doesn’t interest me much on that alone. But clearly it does plenty of people. It’s HBO’s biggest show since the LAST GOT lol. And I think it just won a Golden Globe for best series. So it’s obviously a really popular show. Like I said, I plan to watch it. I was going to watch it when it first started, but I keep pushing it off basically because the prequel setting just doesn’t grab me. But I’m still going to watch and decide on my own. It’s the same issue with the Lord of the Rings show. That’s a prequel too. But unlike GOT, that’s been HIGHLY mixed in terms of reviews so not really too bothered either way for those two reasons, but will give it a chance as well at some point.

As far as the ‘don’t go beyond post-Nemesis’ haters, believe me there were plenty. There is one on this thread in fact, A34. When it was just Discovery that guy went on and on how he thought anything beyond the 23rd century was a waste and said many times no one wants a post-Nemesis show and having one past that would get cancelled. We argued about it many many times lol. Now not only do we have four of them, it’s still funny Discovery ended up going forward more than any show probably will ever go forward!

Of course I expect him to post to say he never EVER said that although there are countless posts of him saying just that. This is why I wish we had ignore button but moving on. But I’ll at least be fair and it looks like he came around since he seems to like all those shows. He seems to like a few more than I do lol. So just like me with prequels, people can change their minds if the show just appeals to them.

Now I know most of those people were in the minority for sure but they were definitely around. I still remember one, can’t remember their handle, the day the Picard show was announced this guy was practically LIVID over the fact they were even making a show post Voyager lol. He got on my case directly about it because I was simply happy they were going forward again….in a show that’s literally about the future lol. This guy was so upset over it, it was bizarre. Like you do know this is all fiction right? And no one has a clue what the real future will look like 100 years or a 1000 years from now,, so what does it matter??? If you don’t believe me, find that article and you’ll see what I mean. There are just some people who thinks Star Trek just belongs in one period. Well they certainly lost that war now.

But yeah, they were obviously in the minority since we now four shows and they all seem to be popular to a degree.

I suspect like Star Trek, there will be plenty of GOT spin offs and one will be a sequel. But yeah the new show just doesn’t interest me much on that alone. But clearly it does plenty of people. It’s HBO’s biggest show since the LAST GOT lol. And I think it just won a Golden Globe for best series. So it’s obviously a really popular show. Like I said, I plan to watch it. I was going to watch it when it first started, but I keep pushing it off basically because the prequel setting just doesn’t grab me. But I’m still going to watch and decide on my own.

No spoilers, but HOTD Season 1 does include some plot twists that have huge implications for the Targ dynasty’s earlier history on Westeros *and* GOT’s ending (both Dany’s story arc and potentially Jon Snow’s ultimate fate post-GOT). This is deliberate: It’s meant to change how you interpret those major events. The show itself isn’t flawless, but it’s actually much better than how GOT eventually became, and the overall quality in all aspects is much closer to GOT’s excellent earlier seasons.

HOTD also demonstrates the ways some important GOT characters weren’t necessarily acting in isolation but influenced by established cultural and political patterns of behaviour from their society over the centuries. For example, HOTD shows there were significant historical precedents, the behaviour of some core GOT characters makes more sense now, and so on. (HOTD has a lot of foreshadowing about GOT).

So it’s worth checking out for all those reasons.

Speaking of Jon Snow, last year it was confirmed that a sequel focusing on him is definitely in the works. Apparently they’ve been secretly planning this for a few years, but they’d managed to keep it quiet.

Honestly none of that really improves the story of GoT at all. Knowing that doesn’t make that show better. Or worse. It really feels more like Solo to me. Yeah, it’s OK but… Why? I’m finishing it out because I’m now curious the exact path it goes but honestly if I could not finish the final few episodes I don’t feel like I would be missing anything I haven’t already seen before.

Personally I’m less interested in John Snow than I am about Westeros’ future as a whole but if Snow can be used as a vehicle that goes forward then I am all for it. But part of me would like to see a generational shift forward. Yes, they don’t make these things for me. Got to appeal to the masses.

First off Jai, where you been dude??????

I don’t think I’ve seen a post of yours for over 6 months at least. I guess it just means you have a life and I don’t lol. I watched all those UFO docs forever now but I don’t think I ever saw you again lol. Or maybe you posted in places I never clicked on. It’s OK, it’s just funny.

As for your assessment of HOTD, I admit that sounds pretty good. It’s so far in the past, I didn’t really expect any real influence to the original show. Maybe I’m wrong but the gap bigger than what it is between PIC and DIS now. Or maybe a little less? So OK, you won me over! I’m going to check it out now. I actually watched some of the first episode but never turned in after that. I’ll rewatch that and start watching next week! And since I watched all those UFO vids you know I’ll watch this too lol.

Eiither way, nice to see you back!!

Hi there — Sorry for not replying sooner but I was offline during the weekend.

I’ve posted comments here during the past few months, but it was only a couple of times, and it was brief stuff on threads that were already fizzling out. Thanks for watching the UFO docs too, I hope you enjoyed them; there have obviously been a few more revelations since then, and apparently more stuff is in the pipeline this year.

The gap between HOTD and GOT is around 150-170 years, I think. Season 1 of HOTD takes a little while to get used to because of the completely new characters, and there are a couple of time-jumps (and repeated recasting of the younger characters) that are a little jarring too. But the story does settle down and take off after that. Acting- and charisma-wise, the two main actresses in the grown-up versions of their characters along with with Rhys Ifans, Matt Smith and Paddy Considine are particularly good. There is some great stuff from a couple of the regular secondary characters too.

Thanks for the friendly words :) I’ll post a reply to you under one of the new Trekmovie articles when I can in case you miss this one.

It specifically states it starts 172 years before GoT. And there are multiple time jumps that are pretty jarring to the viewer. At the point where I am there have been three (or 4? I honestly don’t remember there seem to have been so many) time jumps already and since the show started we are some 25-30 years after that. Meaning we are now some 145 years before GoT.

While I, and the producers, were no fans of the Future Guy stuff, that was not why the show went only 4 seasons. There was a lot more going on. I do believe there was a bit of “franchise fatigue” going on. A break would have done the franchise some good. I like Enterprise but even I was saying they should wait a season or two before going into the next show. Also, the politics of the goings on at the studio is what I believe killed the show more than ever nowadays.

Picard apparently played with a toy of the NX-01 as a kid.

Would be fine with seeing that provided it’s done by anyone but Secret Hideout.

The romulan war could be handled within an animated series. The Rise of the Federation Novels would be a nice template for a conclusion in a regular Series.

ENT needs to return ASAP. If the X-Files could come back after a 15 year “hiatus”, ENT can do so too. This is the final thing that needs to happen to make me entirely happy.

The X-Files revival crashed and burned. If that could happen with a show that had the pedigree the original run of X-Files had, an Enterprise revival would be destined to fail.

I have to agree here. I wish the X-Files never came back. They screwed up the whole mythology 100%

Agreed. Using the X-Files revival as an example of why we should bring back Enterprise is like suggesting that we should bring back Sambos given Bennigan’s recent lackluster new start up that nobody really cares about…lol

I love Gillian Anderson and I wish she never came back as Scully

To be fair, the mythology had been a mess long before that. The revival just doubled down on the awfulness — and then some! However, I did enjoy a few of the monster of the week episodes, so it wasn’t a complete disaster.

Yeah no doubt. I was a HUGE X Files fan from literally day one when few people were paying attention to it at the time and was enthralled. But even I stopped watching after the 7th season because the mythology was just becoming an unyielding mess. To this day I have never seen most episodes in seasons 8 and 9.

I think many people thought when the revival started that they were going to basically start over to a degree, streamline it and wrap it up in a finite way and it only got worse lol.

Yeah, eventually it reached the point with the revival when the “written by Chris Carter” credit would come up that I had to brace myself for another terrible one.

He should’ve let someone else handle it. Darin Morgan maybe. His episodes were good. In my head canon “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat” is the real series finale.

the standalone eps were definitely the reason to watch the revival

And how did that X-Files revival turn out? Lol

This would be like another Sex and City movie…groan! Lol

I’d LOVE to see Enterprise come back more than anyone here I would imagine.

The problem is I absolutely do NOT want to see it come back under the ineptitude of the people at Secret Hideout. I’d rather nothing ever happen again if SH was a condition of its return.

NCIS: TREK 🤔

Law & Order: DTI (Dept of Temporal Investigations)

I said this way back when CBS said they were reviving Trek…

Starfleet JAG.

Scott is an actor worth bringing back. And there aren’t many I can say that about left now.

I thought he was great on Quantum Leap , but I never like him as Captain Archer. I think he might actually be better as President Archer, if they want to do an Enterprise follow-on like Star Trek: The West Wing or something.

Like many Star Trek fans, I enjoyed *”Star Trek Enterprise”.* It was a great show to watch, with a great storyline. I don’t know about anyone else, but I was disappointed when *”Star Trek Enterprise”* was discontinued when it was. It would have been interesting to see where the story went. How the Federation formed.

totally agree with you!

You could also feature a new cast in the time period and have Bakula as President or Senator Archer (I think he became the Andorian Ambassador first, but you get the idea) who is the mentor character.

Nah, I want to see him finally been revealed as future guy. We all want to that don’t we?

The continuation of the Future Guy story and the return of Tucker is exactly the right stuff for this crew.

Will be a great stand alone movie. Could also be successfully attached to Section 31 or Discovery.

I still can’t figure out why archer would someday become future guy when he knows what damage future guy does?

I never liked the theory that Archer was future guy. It still makes no sense to me. I always thought it should be a Romulan trying to change the outcome of the Romulan war.

I don’t like it either. Why would he do this if he experienced all the bad things that future guy did in the first place? It makes no sense

Archer goes from being a emotionally and intellectually constipated captain to an emotionally and intellectually constipated president?

Actually that pipeline sounds very reasonable now that I see it spelled out in black and white lol. Turned on the news lately? LOL.

Although perhaps the opposite of constipated? LOL

These days, it seems like every week another former Trek senior citizen actor shows that they are smelling the p plus cash. LOL

Thanks, but no thanks. I’ve had enough Archer for the one lifetime.

We don’t agree often, but we do here. File Archer under been there, done that. He doesn’t get better with age.

I’m not so sure. But with the evidence in front of us it certainly appears that Picard for sure did not get better with age.

Yes! All Star Trek characters deserve an opportunity. Absolutely. Would like very much to see crossovers with the Enterprise crew. There are a lot of good stories. The Future Guy. The Temporal Wars. The return of Tucker with T’Pol. And long due good/decent stories for Sato, Mayweather, and Reed.

A real finale. Crossovers with current productions. Mini series. Short Treks. A stand alone P+ movie. All of the above. This is something I have been waiting for decades. Really hope Archer and his crew are enlisted for upcoming projects!

I understand is all about money. But this crew really deserve better. I think I am not alone, many fans would like very much to see more Enterprise stories.

I think a healthy and logical application of discernment is in order here. No way do I just say let’s bring back ALL characters from past Star Trek shows as you are suggesting just because they can. No offense meant, but I find that ridiculous, not to mention, financially impossible. Their needs to be some intelligent filtering done here — not ALL, no way.

It should be done on a case by case basis based on both the new series being looked at and the history of both that character and the actor’s performance, and yes, the actors current age and health.

I am talking about the main cast. If they are willing to join, why not!?

It has been done with TOS, now with TNG. I am pretty sure we will see everyone from Voyager, and eventually from DS9. Lower Decks’ DS9 episode with Kyra and Quark was a really nice episode.

Some fans love Sato. Some fans Reed. I think they all deserve an opportunity for the actors and the fans.

Just to be clear. Is not bringing them just for fan service. They need a good story and they all deserve to shine.

Yeah I assumed that was what you intended, but still, not ALL of the main cast on all of the past shows should or need to be featured. Discernment/filtering should be applied. Again, as I mentioned, It should be done on a case by case basis based on both the new series being looked at and the history of both that character and the actor’s performance, and yes, the actors current age and health. Just giving a free pass to ALL former main cast members I think is ridiculous.

We are going to have to agreed to disagree on this. IDIC.

You probably heard me say this many times, but I think EVERYTHING is on the table and they all have a chance to come back. It doesn’t mean they will, but just seeing what they been doing the past few shows alone, it’s possible.

Matalas, McMahan and Goldsman has all said they either could see or like to bring back Enterprise characters in the future. Goldsman even suggested an anthology show with Archer once. Again that doesn’t mean ANY of this will ever happen. But why is he even suggesting it? Because he knows there are fans out there who would want it. No one is suggesting a Quark and Rom anthology season (but I would watch it lol).

But your main point is right, they have to come up with a good story to even think about it. And I don’t know if anyone is rushing to do anymore 22nd century stories, Enterprise or not.

All that said do I think we will see at least some Enterprise characters show up in the future? That is 100% yes ! It’s not even a question. Dude they brought back Sybok, anything is fucking possible now lol.

Four of the five classic show’s characters have all appeared on these new shows. DS9 just got their last year as you stated and more of those will come. I will not be shocked the cast Voyager ends up on Prodigy soon. But those shows all happen in those time periods.

Enterprise is obviously trickier given it’s time period, but they will find a way. Maybe they already did. ;)

Let’s test that theory. Anyone up for a Reg Barclay series? Cooking with Neelix?

How about an Ensign Kim Series: Almost Famous 2 — I am Trek Legend

Or a Neelix Series: Star Trek Into Kessness

Trust me, you will find fans who will watch those too lol.

Ugghhh Neelix is a podophile. Seriously. he dated Kes at 9 yrs old and she was so ignorant and innocent and she had no clue what was going on.

I never looked at it that way but yes I know many did and why they ended that relationship. Ethan Phillips confirmed it.

They are aliens on the other side of the galaxy 400 years in the future, they don’t live on Earth or have to think like us at all. They have a completely different biology and cultural norm than we do. That’s why I loved their relationship, it finally showed an actual alien dynamic. Let’s be honest, Star Trek has ‘aliens’ on it, but 90% of them follow Earth norms for a reason, because it’s a TV show and it can’t be too ‘out there’. But sure I understand that, it is a TV show and one in the 90s where norms were more conservative versus today.

It’s like when the Traveler gave Wesley a chance to explore with him and people were calling the guy a ‘pedophile’. I just shake my head every time. It just proves as open minded we think we are as Trek fans, we’re still humans in our very human mindset in the 21st century and not the 24th.

And he dated Kes at 2 years old lol.

Yes I know what you are saying but still… Its disgusting.

You kind of proved my point. Imagine if we had same sex aliens dating each other on TOS. You can agree fans would’ve used the same word for it. They use it for the human characters on Discovery now lol.

But yes I get your point too and probably why it wasn’t a good idea to do it.

Actually I’ll keep it on topic with Enterprise and I will say one of the things I loved about that show from the beginning was that they had Phlox and Denobulans having a bigamist culture and had multiple wives and husbands. That was one of the few times, once again, they made aliens feel truly alien.

I don’t support bigamy personally (one marriage is enough as it is lol) but obviously others do which I’m fine with. Ironically no one seemed bothered by Phlox being a bigamist so I thought that was refreshing as well.

Yeah, a total creepy, gross-out and takes me out of the eps when they are together.

Yeah, that was very creepy and still grosses me out to this day.

Lets not go there. Optics (and conspiracy theories) aside, the show made it clear Kes aged in dog years. How that would have worked clearly wasn’t thought out, as she would have had to have died of old age during the shows run, had they not jettisoned her for the Borg catsuit.

Yeah, I understand why it put people off for sure and I certainly can’t blame them. But this is literally the entire point of Star Trek, to explore, wait for it, waaaait for it, strange new worlds and civilizations. And most life they do find is really not that strange considering the amount of life they find out there. Most of the Federation members are humanoid aliens that’s has some biological and cosmetic differences but pretty much human overall.

As far as Kes and the old age thing, they were clearly setting her up to live a lot longer. One of the other Ocampans she met was 15 IIRC and still looked young. I suspect her special abilities was going to be part of that development. I really loved the idea of a sentient species living such a short life. Now everyone seems to live up to a 150 lol.

They should have been recasting the role every two years, as THE CROWN does.

That said, this was a pairing between one of the most cringeworthy characters in Star Trek (Neelix) and one of the most boring (Kes, admittedly not the only boring one that cast). The show improved immensely when they showed her the exit and brought in Jeri Ryan.

Weird that you saw it that way. You do realize that since her species only live, what was it… 7, 8 years? That it they must procreate at some point before they are 8 Earth years old. You know what? Dogs are adult and ready to reproduce at what… 1? 2 max? Do you find that gross and disgusting, too?

Neelix a pedophile… I mean… Wow.

Linda Park is a Goddess

Yes she is!

I love her so much

I am compelled to agree there.

I would like to see the Star Trek novel Federation adapted where, instead of Kirk and Picard, Pike’s Enterprise meet Archer’s Enterprise NX-01 in the singularity and pass of Zefram Cochrane from the 21st Century to the 23rd Century.

Best show. Especially liked the first two seasons. Would love to see them come back in a regular show.

I agree with you that the first two seasons were at least better than the last two. It’s funny, but the urban legend that Many Coto came in and improved the series is utter BS. The show went downhill in S3 and S4 — Coto sunk a ship that was already taking on water when he arrived.

You know what I would support — a complete reboot series of Enterprise — done right this time, with better casting, better writing, better music, and a starship design that doesn’t rewrite canon and insult my intelligence. And the universe needs to be made to look like a direct predecessor to TOS this time, not pre-TNG.

@ UpperDecks-NormalNecks – Yes, all of that. Plus better uniforms too. The boilersuit look on this show was awful too.

I’m not opposed to the idea of a reboot of Enterprise, but I think it would be a hard sell to create an aesthetic that won’t look anything like Trek.

How on earth does the starship design “rewrite canon”? With the exception of the Botany Bay, did we ever see century-old ship designs in TOS?

The ships Spock described in “Balance of Terror” are not what we saw on Enterprise. The producers basically turned the NX-01 into a scaled down Constitution class as quickly as they could.

I have to admit, it was the first season that originally put me off to this show. But second season was great (except Precious Cargo….ugh). But I like season one a lot more today. Still my least favorite but a lot of solid episodes for sure.

They screwed up the time line, from experimental warp drive vehicles to building the enterprise a just few years later.

Let’s be honest EVERY prequel show has screwed up the timeline at this point. Discovery is still the biggest culprit IMO.

Yep. Don’t get me started with Discovery… It just shows me how well ENT did in retroperspective

It wasn’t a mere few years. More like 50 to 100.

Not sure why Enterprise gets dissed but it was as good as any Star Trek series. I would have loved to see it go seven seasons

Nearly every Star Trek show gets dissed lol. Have you seen people’s reactions to Discovery and Picard here and other places? It’s the nature of the beast. I think people who hate Enterprise has VALID reasons not to like it just like people who don’t like some of these new shows. Not everyone is going to love everything. That’s OK! It’s only when someone is attacked FOR liking something (or not liking something) when it crosses the line.

I love the show today but I don’t have a single problem with people who utterly loathe it. I never understand why others feel so bothered over these things. They are just TV shows, everyone will have their own personal thoughts on it.

Enterprise was a very controversial show at the time. But to be completely honest, it feels like every show and movie since has also been controversial to me except maybe Prodigy and SNW. And there are still detractors for those shows too. It’s been a rough 20 years for Star Trek and fandom, I’ll put it that way lol.

I still think he’s going to show up on Quantum Leap. Just sayin…

No doubt he’s waiting for the cash offer to be what he wants

Agreed. He’ll be in the Season Finale, that’s why NBC has already renewed it for Season 2.

Great to read how Bakula feels about the four seasons of Enterprise.- sounds like he is proud of the work the cast, the crew and writers put together from 2001-2005. I hope he and the others have a chance to return and tell more tales of the NX-01.

For me personally, although I’m a legacy Trek fan from the 70s, I enjoyed Enterprise – especially the last two seasons. I also used the show, including the opening theme as inspiration to learn to fly and to start a new career in the commercial space industry, where I remain to this day.

Enterprise has aged very well today. There is a reason why more fans like it more today than it when it was on, including a lot of fans who didn’t like it originally like me. And the great thing is it has found a new legion of fans who are watching it for the first time today and they don’t have any baggage with it like a lot us old fans. They just watch the show. They don’t care the Borg or Ferengi showed up because it’s all new.

I was one of those fans who gave up on it early and now I’m one of it’s biggest supporters. It’s amazing how utterly ‘Star Trek’ the show feels today, especially when you compare it to something like Picard. The show also has tons of heart I didn’t appreciate enough at the time.

For me, I would take another season of Enterprise over Discovery, Picard or another movie. Well OK, the jury is still out on the third season of Picard, so that might be an exception. ;)

Haha, yeah even seasons 1 and 2 had some great stories. One of the episodes that really emphasizes the crew seeking out “new life” is Vox Sola. I especially like the epilogue when they leave the creature’s homeworld and you see the “Strange New World” where they are from!

Exactly! And I remembered being so bored watching Vox Sola at the time. Now its great lol.

For people who still think the show sucks, I definitely get why. The show DID have issues for sure…but what Trek show doesn’t??? And for the record, there are TONS of missed opportunities on this show. I don’t want it to come off like all rose colored glasses lol.

But I also think there were people like me at the time who was not only fighting the idea of a prequel but at that point it was just a feeling it had all been done before. Yeah it was in a different package but it was still things we seen before over and over again. That’s what happens when you watch something for 15 years straight lol.

But once I finally started watching the show, REALLY watching the show, 8 years after it was cancelled, I saw it with fresh eyes and I was kicking myself why did I stop watching this show lol. And this was also when STID had came out and I was sooo disappointed in not only that film, but the direction those movies were taking in generally. Again, this is the irony but I thought that the Kevin movies were going to go in the direction Enterprise did on day one and get back to exploring and feeling like the final frontier feel instead of boring uber-villains every movie. They finally did that more with Beyond (still my favorite), but unfortunately too little too late.

But Enterprise gave me that in a big way which I honestly didn’t even care about when it was on. I think they just needed to take Star Trek off the air a few years after Voyager and a lot of us would’ve saw it with different eyes and enjoyed it more.

To me a stand out from the first 2 seasons was “Dear Doctor”. That was classic Trek right there.

It’s really amazing how much I love Enterprise today. Bakula said it, the show was about pure exploration which I just didn’t appreciate enough at the time because we had so much of in multiple seasons in TNG and VOY. Frankly a lot of Enterprise just bored me in the first season. How many times have we landed on a planet and something goes wrong? And TCW just did not grab me and I love time travel stories. But I think it would’ve been nice to keep Enterprise as a true prequel. But the irony is we have not had a true prequel with any of the shows or reboots since.

I stopped watching it in it’s first season and never tried watching again until 2013. So when I say the show didn’t interest me, I mean it lol. But then once I gave it a second chance, I kicked myself for not watching it. Enterprise is the sole reason I’m (still) sticking with DIS because I didn’t want to pre-judge something so quickly again.

And today though, I watch Enterprise every week. I did a grand rewatch of the entire franchise chronologically starting New Years day 2021, Broken Bow was the first episode I started with in my 800+ hours voyage and it was pure joy watching that show. It was light, fun and full of adventure. And yes they actually EXPLORED and did a lot of it, something all the new movies and shows were missing at the time. By the time I finished, I was a little depressed because I wanted more.

And always loved Archer when I didn’t love the show. He and Pike have a lot of the same personality, except Archer definitely has a temper lol. Would love a fifth season!

It was originally planned as a prequel. First season was going to just be on Earth. The future stuff was added because of the network. Not sure how well a full season on Earth would of panned out. It was on the bluray documentaries for Enterprise.

I think doing the first four or five eps on Earth would be have been very cool, but not the entire season…then a couple eps where cool stuff happens on the shakedown cruises, then move to traditional eps.

This format could have been used to better establish the characters.

Oh yeah I know and I think that would’ve been great if they did a full season on Earth. But like you said, I don’t know how that would’ve went over too, but some of it could’ve startd on Earth at least. I think the episode First Flight gave us a nice insight into the kind of shows we would’ve gotten if it stayed on Earth. Another one of my favorites!

People complain that Enterprise was basically just TNG in the 22nd century but that’s because that’s what UPN wanted basically. Like Voyager, they just wanted more TNG. Berman really wanted each show to be its own thing but the network hands out the money and end of the day they didn’t really want a prequel show and a LOT of compromises were made over it like TCW.

In fact I found out recently UPN originally wanted a show to take place in the 26th century. They basically wanted to start over by going forward while Berman wanted to start over going backwards and you can see why there was so much friction from the start.

And I think I’m going to watch First Flight tonight now! :)

Yeah Berman and Braga didn’t know if they could write more characters that were even more “perfect ” than the 24th century characters. First Flight was a good episode. I personally really enjoyed Enterprise.

If I’m being very honest I definitely would’ve preferred a 26th century show. I think a lot of people would’ve. But I can understand by that point it would’ve just felt more of the same at that time to them just in another century. They wanted Enterprise to have a bigger hook being the show that basically created the elements of Star Trek we have today. Once I embraced that idea, I really came to love this show.

Bill and I were so proud to interview Mr. Bakula as part of this wonderful fundraising event for the Hollywood Food Coalition. The Trek Geeks certainly were aware that Mr. Bakula does not do a lot of interviews or conventions, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to talk to him. he was so wonderful and I would LOVE top see him return in live or animation form as Captain/Admiral/President Archer!

You guys did a great job! Thank you for this and was happy he agreed to it.

Thanks for doing this — nice job!

Ditto RE the above replies! I have often read that Bakula is very fond of his time on Enterprise as well as the time he spent with fellow cast members. Thanks for confirming those stories with an actual interview.

Now let’s see if Mr. Kurtzman and company can somehow give us a true conclusion to the series and elliminate that horrible last episode from our collective memories… as if it never happened.

I didn’t have a UPN affiliate in my area at the time, so I never got the chance to get into the show while it aired. However, I do feel each season is an improvement over the one that came before. Even though it still would have (probably anyway, due to production costs) been a casualty of the UPN/WB merger, a fifth season would have been amazing.

I was a preteen when Enterprise came out and one of the biggest problems with it is that it really wasn’t that friendly to a younger audience. I will say though that it does deserve a second chance and I hope it gets one.

Plus any chance to see/hear Jeffrey Combs again is nice.

Premature cancellation always tints the past a little rosy, but I would have happily watched another 3 seasons. I do agree it was hitting its stride.

Still say Bakula is not really realistic about what the syndication market was like in the 2000s though.

My wife and I would be among those who would enjoy having ENT come back. That is the show that was on TV when we were dating so it is very special to us in many ways. Through the conventions and the cruises, we have become closely acquainted with the actors, and relish that relationship. Scott shows his professionalism by not speaking ill of UPN or any honcho at UPN, but does speak truth to power about the causes. While there are detractors of ENT who did not like the show based on an earlier time, pre Federation, or not another 100 years past TNG-DS9-VOY. Having loved Trek since 1966, I, for one, always wondered about the time from Armstrong/Aldrin stepping on the moon to when Kirk set sail on the NCC-1701. That approximately 200 years of exploration must have or could have a lot of exciting history. No reason why we could not have a follow up series in the form of ENT to tell those stories.

I think SB is right. It should have continued.

ok. Revisit the era, sure, but for cripes sake kill that Enterprise theme song. That garbage Chicago / Journey knock off did more to kill the series from day one than anything else. And I’ll gladly die on that hill :)

I agree with those who say the show kept getting better as it went on. Once Coto came on board it really started to find its footing, imo. Sadly the way they ended it was just terrible. I wouldn’t mind seeing Archer/Bakula or T’Pol or Phlox back for a limited role in one of the new shows, as long as it made sense to the story.

Another agreement. My favorite seasons in order: 4-3-2-1. So that should tell you everything and I actually started loving it in season 2. I didn’t even love DS9 or TNG that early and those are my two favorites.

Coto was exactly what Trek needed. Someone who respected the source material and talented enough to make the right decisions. I heard it said that he had big plans for future seasons. Season 5 he wanted to add Shran as a permanent crew member. He said he had an idea for an episode called “Starbase 1”. He wanted to see an early version of Stratos. I’d be very interested to see his take on that world 100 years earlier. And I had heard indirectly that he was indeed planning to take the show up to and possibly into the Romulan war.

Unfortunate to think of what we could have had. And now we have… Secret Hideout. (sigh)

Has to be my favorite series ever id watch years of it

Mr. Bakula is more than welcome for a return. He did great and was easily one of the best Captains in Star Trek history. (Don’t let me rank, it is hard to decide…)

Yes starfleet adacemy with Wesley crusher

Star Trek Enterprise Season 5 Netflix Campaign

Doug Drexler has started a campaign to bring an all new season of Star Trek: Enterprise back to Television, in this case through Netflix as a distributor.

Here is the description from the Facebook page :

When Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled, it’s ratings were still good enough to keep it on the air. Studio and network politics were instrumental in it’s demise. So the voyages of the NX-01, with Captain Archer, Trip, T’Pol, and the rest of the crew ended just as the show was finally beginning to get it’s legs. Nearly all of us agree that the fourth and prematurely final season of Enterprise demonstrated that this show was a late bloomer.

A new day has dawned for the way television is produced. No longer do three networks decide what you get to watch. It started with cable. A place where the audience pays for the shows they love by subscribing. Now the next huge step has taken place. The ability to stream the shows you want, when you want them, from the Internet. Today, Netflix, Hulu, Kickstarter, and Amazon are challenging the way television is funded, and the way it is decided what gets made.

Interesting things have happened in the last year. Netflix began producing original programming, bringing back popular shows that the stodgy old programming model had done away with. “Arrested Development” is back in production. “House of Cards” with Kevin Spacey is doing well. The producer of “Veronica Mars” raised 3 million dollars on Kickstarter to make a movie from a show that the network thought no one watched.

Can we get that fifth season of Enterprise which chronicles the Romulan War? See our crew back with a dazzling refit NX-01? Folk’s, It ain’t impossible. Throughout Star Trek’s history, it’s fans have moved mountains. We can do this, it’s it not that difficult. Watch Enterprise on Netflix. Even if you just run an episode while working around the house, that will build numbers, and attract attention. One thing we know for certain, the apparatus that brings us the shows we love will follow the money.

JJ Abram’s is making Trek movies. If we’re lucky (and you enjoy his take on Gene Roddenberry’s masterpiece) we get one every 2-3 years. We’ve learned something from this Star Trek drought… we miss that golden age of Star Trek, with it’s intimate storylines. So gang, spread the word, share the FB page, and most of all, run Enterprise on Netflix. It ain’t over til it’s over, and we’re owed three more season of Enterprise. We can’t be afraid of the wind.

Brannon Braga also mentioned Netflix as a distributor when he was interviewed at Destination Star Trek London back in October 2012 when talking to TrekCore.com.

Just finished series 3 on DVDS, truly high quality, gritty and gripping. So much scope there. Enterprise deserves at least a final season of quality.

October 19, 2020

I love enterprise – I have seen all four season at least five times. I just never understand fans – if your a fan then you will always enjoy the effort why go into a show with some much criticism. But enterprise I was disappointed when it was cancelled, I enjoyed the journey- all the main characters were so interesting. They may have not been Kirk or Spock but they had charm and style, they were fit and gave the feeling of that old military mind set. I will always support Star Trek in all its forms, to watch men and women boldly go where one has gone before.

February 10, 2024

Would live to see a 5th season. A part of Star trek lore nor covered by any other show. Seemed like it had so much more to give.

August 17, 2021

Just discovered Star Trek Enterprise. I love it. Great show. Just bought the entire series. Great acting. Best Star Trek ever!!!

December 28, 2021

Please Let me watch season 5 and 6 of Star Trek enter price

January 1, 2022

I would Like to have Star Trek Enterprise Please

March 20, 2022

I love the series. I so want to see Archer Enterprise NX-01 Retrofit. Please make Star Trek: Enterprise season 5.

January 6, 2024

I would pay a heavy price to see season 5 and potentially more

June 1, 2015

You’re great! I hope to watch the fifth season… Star Trek Enterprise was becoming VERY interesting from the 4th season. They closed it too early.

May 16, 2020

It was the best Star Trek ever, they should do season 5, 6, 7….. I loved ENTERPRISE!!

December 7, 2017

Love the whole series 1-4 and was waiting on the 5th before I knew it had gotten canceled. The series were shown on an oldies but goodies TV channel when they started showing all six versions of Star Trek at 7 pm until 11 pm when Star Trek Enterprise came on. I was hooked an could not get enough. As a combat era Medic I enjoyed the potrial of T’Pol as.a highly skilled intelligent soldier assigned to a deplomatic yet dangerous mission where she was able to use her past experiences and blend them with new ones. This woman warrior showed courage under fire and fire in Love. Wish there was a Fifth season forT’Pol and Tripp.

July 8, 2018

I live in hope,that the morons that cancelled it due to the same shortsightedness of the 1960s realise the huge mistake and amend it before it’s to late,oh look we now have discovery,a complete apologetic appeasement show, that fits into Star Trek universe about as well as having an extra foot on a leg that is non existent,premise and content are generally good,story arcs and such,however it simply does not equate to anything seen before it,it may as well be called something else for example firefly 2.0,it’s a three sized Lego brick that fits nowhere, enterprise was genius and it came from the heart of Star Trek ,Rick Berman was selected by the great bird himself to carry the torch forward and into the next century,I think it’s time to admit defeat for the studio executives and to start listening to creative talent rather than number crunching pencil pushers,you may not earn huge profit over night,but for once look at the scope of the story,and over time the profits of their excellence in making enterprise will become apparent it’s called longevity if any of you dare to read this scathing attack on your lack of vision.

August 8, 2018

I’d love to see a fifth season. Thought it fit quite well with the Star Trek family of shows.

June 4, 2022

Enterprise was a great show and a season 5 could bring a lot of fun scenarios like the Borg Queen origins and more Romulan encoumters!

September 20, 2018

I hope Netfix does Season 5 of Enterprise

September 21, 2018

I’m sick to death of the powers that be deciding what’s worth a new season and what isn’t. Star Trek enterprise isn’t the first or the second tv series I have been enjoying only to have it stopped by the network because they weren’t making enough money from it.

November 3, 2018

I just entered season 4 of enterprise and must admit that the after 2 slow seasons, the story really took of. The character development is just fantastic.

I cannot understand why the series has been stopped after season 4. I have seen all previous star trek series, but this one is by far the best in terms of protagonists. I really hope and would also support a relaunch of the the series. Still many open questions remain unanswered. The potential is huge and compared to Star Trek Discovery, Enterprise really fills the gaps in the overall star trek story.

Netflix…go for it! The Star Trek community will be grateful.

I just finished season 3 of the series and frankly speaking, apart from the financial issues, I do not understand at all why the series has been canceled. I have seen all Star Trek series including Discovery season 1. I missed Enterprise back in the early 2000’s. After 2 relatively slow seasons, the 3rd season of Enterprise is very very good. The development of the Trip-T’Pol relationship is flawless. The change of Archer from a sole researcher to a person, who sometimes has to abandon basic principles of moral and ethics is very well depicted.

I even tend to say that this is the best Star Trek series so far. The character development is fantastic, the storyline exciting. Furthermore, it fills many gaps in the Star Trek history. There is even much more potential, if the Romulan War, the build of the federation etc will be put into a season 5 and maybe even season 6. This might also close the gap between Enterprise and ST Discovery.

In conclusion, I can just say…NETFLIX, GO FOR IT!! The ST community will surely be greatful.

Mesajımın Google Translate çevirisi (Google Translate translation of my message):

I’ve watched Star Trek Enterprise’s 3 seasons at Netflix, and I’m in episode 20 in season 4. So I’ve watched about 80 episodes so far and I’ve got three chapters left. I enjoyed all the episodes of this series, except maybe a few episodes, and I was very pleased that the film had a philosophical background. For those who have such a background in science fiction films are rare. I’m sorry to hear that I will not be brought back when I do research on the internet by wondering about the fate of this series. If I see that many series of films that do not make a lot of money have twice the season and section, I can say that the producers and directors are the least shame. I think I have the right to ask you for at least one or even a few seasons with these feelings and thoughts. In the hope that those who think like me are not scarce, if you decide something like this, you will sail the Enterprise out of our galaxy and protect its philosophical background. Such an approach will also bring a new breath to the film. I’m sure that …

I say bring it back I loved it come on netflixs

December 21, 2018

I was born in the 80s so I have grown up with these films.I do have to admit that I also love star trek enterprise and would love to see it brought back as it does have unfinished Work.

January 9, 2019

I honestly didn’t think ST Enterprise would be any good, set before kirk, thought it would never pull off. Saw a couple of episodes and amazingly got hooked. So much so purchased the complete boxset on Blu Ray. Nearly finished Season 3, just taking my time, they are brilliant. Please bring them back. But fancy pulling the plug on a successful series, so dumb asses about I guess.

February 6, 2019

It’s never to late to bring back star trek enterprise. They never gave it a chance.

February 8, 2019

Just been binging on Enterprise I had never seen it before, this is THE BEST star trek series ever made, with EXCELLENT imaginative stories and writing, I say this a HUGE science fiction reader.

PLEASE MAKE MORE!

March 18, 2019

We would love to see another season of Star Trek Enterprise. We enjoyed it initially and are watching each episode again on Netflix. Truly a quality programme and different from the other Star Trek series which are not quite so good to watch again. Do bring it back – it should not have been cancelled so quickly.

March 25, 2019

I think we need Star Trek Enterprise now more than ever. Bring it back.

May 14, 2019

Una excelente serie. sería magnífico que pudiera continuar con la temporada 5.

Espero que esta vez el capitán Archer se atreva a demostrar sus sentimientos a T’pol y vice versa.

Una excelente serie, espero con ansias la temporada 5.

Espero que esta vez el capitán Archer demuestre sus sentimientos a T’pol y vice versa.

I watched Star Trek and Generations when i was growing up with my Dad, I loved it. In my late teens i watched Voyager and (less) DS9 . In my early 20`s i became totally engrossed with Star Trek Enterprise. Best acting, best graphics, best sets, best stories, best cast of any Star Trek TV series.

I loved the new look, the closeness to our own reality and generation, Captain Archer felt real, the technology felt feasible, the stories were great, the characters and acting brilliant.

And then, just as the story of Enterprise, Archer and the crew got going it was taken away.

Now me and my 3 year old are reliving the series on Netflix, which he loves. Its going to be hard to explain to him why the story just stops. Netflix please make season 5!! You could explain the actors ageing with the Temporal Cold War story arch pretty easily. Although I am sure Scott Bakula, Connor Trinneer, Dominic Keating & Jolene Blalock all look fantastic still.

SEASON 5,6,7,8 COULD/WOULD BE SO SO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE POOR LATEST ATTEMPT TO REVIVE THE TV TREK. ONLY GOOD THING WAS PIKE! SO BRING BACK ENTERPRISE!!!!!

July 19, 2019

I’m 68 and grew up with Star Trek and revisit all every now and again thru Netflix. I wasn’t sure I’d like Enterprise but started watching and just finished season 3 and now looking to see when season 5 comes out and very disappointed that it hasn’t yet. I don’t get out much any more medical issues and sure enjoy my TV so please bring back Enterprise while I’m still here to enjoy it.

July 20, 2019

I love this incarnation of Star Trek. Was crushed when it was canceled. We had a chance to see the federation romulan war, and it was taken away! Enterprise had everything that the current incarnation of Trek has tried to capture and failed.

Its not every day that you have a cast with such great chemistry. Bring back Enterprise please.

September 16, 2019

Discovery is a pale imitation of Star Trek – a new series of ‘Enterprise’ would be so much more popular and needs to be made. There’s so much more story for them to tell! Come on Nextflix!

September 28, 2019

I am in my late 60s so I have been watching and enjoying Star Trek for most of my life. I have not had much of a chance to enjoy these fantasies over the past decade and a half and always wanted to see what Enterprise was all about.

I finally had the chance over the last couple months to enjoy the show through Netflix and quickly became hooked on it. I just finished Season 3 and loved what they had done with the storyline.

I knew that there are only four seasons total, so I asked the question what happened to Season 5. I was intrigued by the possibility that it might get picked up by Netflix and continue for another few seasons. I think that it is an effort that would have remarkable success on this platform and an incredible way for Netflix to bounce back strong after losing Marvel to Disney. Along with Star Wars, Star Trek is one of the great science fiction storylines of all time.

I urge all fans out there to let Netflix know how strong the base of support is for this project. Season 5 with the Romulan Wars could jumpstart a whole new generation of fans clamoring for more and could do for Netflix what Star Wars will be doing for Disney.

October 31, 2019

Please make series 5 Nextflicks! I’d love to see how R3P20 and the Woogie get along,…

April 24, 2020

I for the most part Liked Enterprise. Yes it was not as good as Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, or even Voyager. Most people who disliked Enterprise have criticized it for looking more advanced then the Original that was going to take place one hundred years later. I never had a problem with that because I was able to see them from the time when they wore made (I.E. The Original in the 1960’s Enterprise in the early 2000’s) I would have liked to see it follow the same episodic tone of the others, but it was ground breaking in it’s modern day approach The only problem I would have is I would like to see it return to FREE T.V. and not a streaming service

September 20, 2020

We have been contracted to write a Revival Star Trek Enterprise script. We have a great premise and some surprises too! We have a production facility, crew standing by along with tax credits from the state of Colorado. We are seeking funding as well but would like to join in a campaign to raise awareness and money for development funds.

October 3, 2020

in response to above post…..

*invokes starship troopers*

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

yes, tell us more.

September 29, 2020

I grew up watching Star Trek my whole entire life I quite simply love them all there are NO bad episodes from any series as far as I’m concerned and as for ENTERPRISE! it is truly a masterpiece. I’m so incredibly inspired and totally engrossed in the characters these fine actors have portrayed and the overwhelming emotions they have created, the thought of not continuing with a season 5 and beyond is deeply saddening on many levels. There are many lessons for humanity to learn from this show it would be utterly irresponsible not to continue. Even for those people who are not particularly interested in Science fiction could learn a thing or two from the wonderful stories these amazing writers have imagined and meticulously put together. Whoever you are If not for us old loyal Trekies then do it for the future generations to follow. I would pay a fee to Netflix or anyone just for this series alone. PLEASE make it happen.

May 3, 2021

Would love a season 5, Enterprise was one of the better Star Trek shows.

August 21, 2021

Please bring Enterprise back, it was just getting better and better in series 3 and 4. Should have never been cancelled!!

September 28, 2021

I saw Star Trek Enterprise on TV and loved it I bought it on Blue Ray. I didn’t know anything about the show when it first aired. I was never promoted properly. Common sense should tell TV executives there must be something to the show if new and old fans are asking for the show to be brought back. This for me is the best Star trek series. I will only watch Enterprise. Bring back Star Trek Enterprise

February 3, 2022

when season 4 was being transmitted in the uk, there was a campaign to raise money by fans for a 5th season $30,000,000 was required by the studio fans actually managed to raise approx $3,000,000, never found out what happened to the money, but i bought the dvd box set a few years ago and usually binge watch the entire boxset, then usually follow it with the original series

February 21, 2022

Now with the next star trek series Strange new worlds, now would be the time to continue with star trek enterprise season five. They already had the story lines for season 5. They would have to recast the actors as I’m sure the would all come back in a heart beat.

May 22, 2022

I have been watching star trek for years. I was happily watching discovery on Netflix when it was abruptly stopped. I then found enterprise, what a find. I never knew it existed in till recently but I’m disappointed they stopped after series 4. If they already have the story lines for series 5 now is the time to make them, I’m sure key actors would take the opportunity to reprise their roles and show how the events mentioned in the end of series episode came about. Please bring back Archer, T’pol, Hoshi and the rest.

June 20, 2022

I haven’t seen strange new worlds, the studio is keeping it from UK at the moment. I believe it is set 100 years after enterprise, by coincidence Defiant went back 100 years when it entered the mirror universe. Couldn’t T’pol escape and travel through the rift 100 years into the future to the normal universe. Trip could help her and other characters could join them or chase after them. Once in the normal universe, normal T’pol who is 100 years older would have strange ‘dreams of mirror T’pol and also Trip who she lost so tragically in that crazy last episode. The two T’pols could meet and normal T’pol could see her sole mate again. Then a quick mind meld could bring everyone up to date. The mirror world characters could take posts in Starfleet with their personalities adapting.

March 12, 2023

I somehow missed this show when it first aired. I have watched all the other ST series and was intrigued by the time setting. I have grown to love all the characters in this amazing show. I was deeply saddened when I learned it had been cancelled after only 4 seasons. I would be so happy to see the show brought back to life! There’s so much more story to tell with this amazing cast!

July 6, 2023

The series deserves respect. Its a really good show. With a story which is unfinished. There is a market for it. Recently watched start to finish, TNG, DS9. Now onto enterprise season 4. I prefer enterprise, as they don’t have a perfect ship, they don’t have polished characters, they are trying to do the best they can with what they have got. Which makes the show more realistic and enjoyable.

February 9, 2024

Bring back Star Trek Enterprise ASOP please.

Picard's Huge Starship Twist Is a Secret "Origin Story," Showrunner Says

Turns out, the entire season was a backdoor origin story.

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise . Again. As Picard Season 3 closes out its 10-episode run, it also concludes the journey of The Next Generation , 36 years in the making. But, in terms of the timeline of the early 25th century of Trek canon, there’s a major change in this finale — one which redefines the legacy of the most famous starship in all of Star Trek history. And, according to Picard showrunner Terry Matalas , part of the arc of this season was an “origin story” of a very specific starship.

Spoilers for the Picard series finale ahead.

Just before the final poker game with the TNG crew, and before the tantalizing post-credits scene , Picard Season 3 reveals that the hero starship from this entire season — the USS Titan-A — has now been rechristened the USS Enterprise , registry NCC-1701-G. Yes, that’s right, Picard Season 3 has given us a lot of onscreen Enterprises , from a glimpse of Kirk’s Enterprise-A and the to the refit NX-01 Enterprise , in the Fleet Museum during Episode 6, to the Enterprise- F in Episode 9, and of course, the epic return of the beloved Enterprise-D in the final two episodes, there are perhaps more different Enterprises in this season of Picard than any Star Trek season or movie ever before. And, counting the revelation that the Titan has been renamed, that’s a total of FIVE different Enterprises .

“The spirit of this was all of this was about passing the torch from one generation to the next,” Matalas tells Inverse . “And so, it was also about the origin story of another Starship Enterprise .”

The newly christened USS Enterprise-G in the finale of Star Trek: Picard .

Detail-oriented fans will notice one thing about the Enterprise-G that differs from the last few versions of this ship — it’s smaller and more compact. The obvious in-universe reason for this is because it was previously the Titan , a Neo-Constitution-class starship, designed, like Kirk’s Enterprise , to be a deep-space research vessel first. And so, by making the new Enterprise- G smaller than the D or the F, the hypothetical future of Trek is going back to its roots.

“It goes back to that Original Series feeling,” Matalas says. “Like it’s the underdog. The Enterprise- D and the F were like these huge battleships. As opposed to something like the G, which can totally get its ass kicked in the wrong situation.”

This isn’t to say the Enterprise-G is less technologically advanced than its predecessors. The finale of Picard makes it clear that the Enterprise-D was effective only because it was offline from the other networked Starfleet ships being controlled by the Borg. But, the Titan (now the Enterprise-G ) was more agile and is one of the newer styles of ships in Starfleet, which has more maneuverability than most other ships of its size. Funnily enough, way back in 1986, an early concept for The Next Generation would have put Picard and the crew on the Enterprise- G in the 25 Century. Now, with the Picard finale, that has more or less happened.

Matalas also points out that the legacy of the name “Titan” could also live on in another ship, too. Picard Season 3, established that the Titan- A was the third Starfleet ship to carry that name. In Lower Decks Seasons 1 and 2, fans saw the Luna-Class Titan , captained by Will Riker, about two decades before the events of the ending of Picard . Matalas imagines that “there would be another Titan after this. It would probably go back to another kind of Luna-Class upgrade. The Titan-B would probably be a newer version of that flavor.”

The new captain of the USS Enterprise — Captain Seven (Jeri Ryan).

As of this writing, there’s no officially announced Picard spinoff happening. Yet. But, Matalas is hopefully, saying that he has very specific ideas for how the crew of the Enterprise -G would operate, and how the trio of Captain Seven, Jack Crusher, and Raffi echoes aspects of The Original Series .

“Jack certainly rushes in where angels fear to tread, like Kirk,” Matalas says. “He's the guy who's like, I'm gonna get a phaser, go kill the Borg Queen, and he's an idiot. We, always felt like he had the most Kirk-like energy. But, so does Raffi, and Seven has that calculated strategic energy, that is like Spock, I guess, but also like Kirk, too. They’re kind of a mix of all of [the TOS ] characters. I just love the way they look up there on the bridge.”

Star Trek: Picard is streaming now on Paramount+.

Upcoming Star Trek TV Shows: What's Ahead For The Sci-Fi Franchise

Here's what's ahead for Star Trek.

It’s a golden era for Star Trek tv shows, as the franchise is churning out more content than ever before. Fans with a Paramount+ subscription can stream a plethora of old and new content from one of the greatest sci-fi franchises of all time.

There’s a ton of new Star Trek content coming in the future, including the debut of a new show as well as the return of all the ones fans already know well. For those who need a breakdown of what all to expect, look no further because here’s where and when all the new Trek will arrive in 2023 and beyond. There’s even some information on planned shows that aren’t quite ready yet, but hopefully, we’ll see them soon enough. 

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 - Premiering On April 4th 2024

Captain Michael Burnham and the crew are back, and based on what we've seen and heard about Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 so far, some changes are on the way. Season 5 will see the crew race against others in an attempt to secure an ancient power, and will apparently have a tonal shift that will skew more toward action and adventure. We also learned that this coming season will be the final adventure , as Paramount+ decided to end the series after this coming season. The final season will kick off in April and, fingers crossed, leave an avenue open for more stories with these characters in the 32nd century. 

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 - In Production

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is coming back for Season 3, and is currently filming for the upcoming season. It's likely the season will kick off with the second part of the adventure started in the Season 2 finale . Pike must decide whether or not he's going to listen to Starfleet and retreat to avoid further conflict with the Gorn or to stay and try to save the kidnapped crew members. I have a hunch I know what decision he'll make, but I'm also very invested in seeing if Scotty will remain with the crew and what other adventures will come as well. 

Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 - Coming In 2024

Paramount+ originally renewed Star Trek: Prodigy for Season 2, but announced later that it had been canceled alongside other shows on the platform. While the news was a bummer to many and encouraged responses from stars like Kate Mulgrew , there is a silver lining. After some talk with other companies, Paramount managed to negotiate a deal where the series will transition over to Netflix , and Season 2 will release over there. At this time, it's unknown whether or not this will lead to more seasons of Prodigy , but fans are thankful they'll at least get to see the season that was being worked on coming up in 2024. 

Section 31 Movie - Production Complete

Section 31 was one of the first Star Trek spinoffs announced after Discovery , and yet it took the longest to get off the ground. The series was supposed to Michelle Yeoh ’s Phillipa Georgiou and her efforts in the secret ops Starfleet faction that does the jobs that others in the organization would rather not know about. Other former Discovery stars, like Shazad Latif, were involved at one point, but some believed the odds of it happening aren't great after Michelle Yeoh's Oscar win .

It turns out Yeoh was interested in making it happen, and Paramount+ decided to alter the idea to a movie . Fans are excited about the project all the same, and ready to see Michelle Yeoh back in her role. Production on the film is officially underway, and it's looking like a premiere sometime in late 2024 to 2025 is likely.

Starfleet Academy - Production Starting In 2024

Alex Kurtzman revealed not long ago that Star Trek is actively working on another new live-action series , and it’s going to be set at Starfleet Academy. Of course, we don’t know exactly what era this series is set to take place during or who is going to star in it yet. We don’t really know much of anything, though it’s worth noting that Star Trek: Discovery did write off its character Tilly when she took an offer at Starfleet Academy. The episode where that happened seemed like it could be a backdoor pilot for the show, but again, we have no idea. We do know that the writer's room is underway, but details are scant beyond that.  

As shown above, there’s still a ton of Star Trek on the way in 2024, and beyond. The only way to watch these shows is with a Paramount+ subscription , which is totally worth picking up with the increasing amount of shows and movies available to watch.

When is 'star trek: strange new worlds' season 3 coming out, where can you watch 'star trek: strange new worlds' season 3, is there a trailer for 'star trek: strange new worlds' season 3, who's in the 'star trek: strange new worlds' season 3 cast, who are the creators of 'star trek: strange new worlds', when did 'star trek: strange new worlds' season 3 film, what's the plot of 'star trek: strange new worlds' season 3 about, is 'star trek: strange new worlds' getting a season 4, more shows like 'star trek: strange new worlds' that you can watch right now.

It's a huge sigh of relief when a spinoff of a classic like the original Star Trek (which ran from 1966 to 1969) is well done, polished, and gripping. Especially when that show stands out in a franchise with twelve - yes, you read that right - twelve corresponding series. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , which serves as a prequel to the original (and iconic) Star Trek series, follows Captain Christopher Pike ( Anson Mount ) as he leads his crew through the galaxy aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. The show, which premiered in 2022, was met with high critical acclaim from the beginning and continues to find fans with each new season - an impressive feat in a time when so many shows get lost in the streaming shuffle. Now renewed for a third season right after its Season 2 finale, here's everything we know so far about the next chapter in the epic space adventure.

With Season 2's finale leaving fans wanting more, it's only natural to be itching for Season 3 to come as soon as possible. While episodes are expected to return in 2024, the production window was from December 2023 to June 2024 for Season 3 , so we may have to wait a bit before we get the answers we're craving .

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows Captain Christopher Pike (played by Anson Mount) and the crew of the starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in the 23rd century as they explore new worlds throughout the galaxy in the decade before Star Trek: The Original Series.

While Strange New Worlds premiered its first two episodes on CBS in 2022, all episodes are now streaming on Paramount+. It can be assumed that the third season of the show will also premiere on the CBS-affiliated streaming service. Subscriptions to Paramount+ are available in two tiers: Paramount+ Essential (with commercials, $5.99/month) and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME (commercial-free, $11.99/month).

WATCH ON PARAMOUNT+

With production recently ending, there is still no official footage from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3. That said, we hope to get our first look at the new season sometime later this year. Stay tuned to Collider as we await more info.

Leading the charge is fan-favorite Captain Pike , played by Anson Mount. Mount is no stranger to the Star Trek world, as he also appeared in Star Trek: Discovery in 2019. His other credits include films like Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and the Britney Spears -led 2002 drama Crossroads . Ethan Peck 's Spock is another character who appeared in Discovery alongside Mount. Peck also worked on shows like Madam Secretary and 10 Things I Hate About You . The astute La'an is played by Christina Chong , whose credits include Johnny English Reborn and Tom and Jerry .

Erica Ortegas is played by Melissa Navia , whose guest roles include Bull , Homeland , and Billions . Rebecca Romjin plays Una-Chin Riley, Pike's Number One. While Romjin is known for films like X-Men and Austin Powers , perhaps her most unforgettable role was as Cheryl, the gorgeous girl with the disgusting apartment in Season 4 of Friends . Rounding out Pike's crew are Babs Olusanmokun ( Dune ) as Dr. M'Benga, Celia Rose Gooding ( Foul Play ) as Nyota Uhura, and Jess Bush ( Playing For Keeps ) as Nurse Christine Chapel. Arguably, one of the best parts of the Season 2 finale was the appearance of Lieutenant Montgomery Scott ( Martin Quinn ), of the infamous - and incorrect - quote from the OG series: "Beam me up, Scotty!"

Strange New Worlds is produced by CBS Studios , Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment, and distributed by Paramount+. The show was created by Akiva Goldsman , Alex Kurtzman , and Jenny Lumet , with Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers serving as co-showrunners . Kurtzman, Goldsman, Lumet, and Myers are executive producers on the series, alongside Aaron Baiers, Heather Kadin , Frank Siracusa , John Weber , Rod Roddenberry , and Trevor Roth .

The series was originally set to film early in 2023 but due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the series was delayed by several months. Thankfully, they recently wrapped up filming in Canada earlier this year. Anson Mount took to Instagram to celebrate the conclusion of filming.

Mount also wrote a heartfelt message to fans after concluding production, saying:

“So that’s it guys, that is a wrap on season 3, at least from me, there’s still a little bit of work to be done. I feel like I could sleep for a week, but I still have many travels and many things ahead of me to do, and I’m trying to keep spoilers out of the shots here. Thank you for your patience, especially during the strikes, it wasn’t anyone’s intention for us to be delayed to that extent. Thank you for sticking with us, thank you to our lifelong Star Trek fans, I am one of you and it’s because of people like you that I get to live out my dreams like this and I’ll never stop thanking you for having me in your house.”

With many unanswered questions in the Season 2 finale, there are lots of possibilities for where Season 3 could take Captain Pike and his crew. After the fun and games of the previous musical episode , things switched back to danger mode very quickly, and viewers were ultimately left with a cliffhanger. With the re-appearance of the Gorn (the reptilian-humanoid extraterrestrials first seen in Star Trek in the 1960s), Pike was faced with a decision: heed the commands of the Enterprise not to engage with the Gorn, or do whatever he can to save his people. Pike, being the always-optimistic hero that he is, decides he must try and save his crew. And, when he sees young Gorn working together, his hunch that the species may be able to communicate leads him to want to try and save his crew without violence. While it's unclear how big a role the Gorn will play in Season 3, perhaps Pike's interest in their ability to communicate will be an important factor in not having this happen again.

To add (gross) insult to injury, it is revealed that Gorn eggs have been planted in Pike's love interest, Captain Batel, and she may have to sacrifice herself in order to save everyone else. This is also not resolved in the finale, adding another layer to what Season 3 might bring. Will she survive? And if so, what happens to the Gorn eggs? Additionally, diehard Star Trek fans were no doubt thrilled to see Montgomery Scott appear in the Season 2 finale. While the character first appeared in the 1960s, as portrayed by James Doohan , this is his first time on Strange New Worlds. The re-introduction of this iconic character leaves a lot of potential for Season 3.

There are still many more stories to be told and strange new worlds to explore. In a surprise to no one, Paramount+ has already renewed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds for a fourth season. Mount took to Instagram , saying:

"We’ll see you again in the spring when Star Trek: Strange New Worlds goes back into production for Season 4!"

The Mandalorian (2019-)

Disney+'s runaway hit The Mandalorian has taken the world - and the internet - by storm. Premiering in 2019, show creator and showrunner Jon Favreau ( Chef ) has confirmed that Season 4 has already been written. The series follows a Mandalorian bounty hunter, played by Pedro Pascal ( The Last of Us ), as he travels through the galaxy after the fall of the Galactic Empire. Oh, and let's not forget about his companion, the now-iconic Grogu AKA Baby Yoda . WATCH ON DISNEY+

Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009)

In the spirit of revisiting classic sci-fi television, for an updated version of the original Battlestar Galactica , try 2004's refreshed version. While not entirely a remake, it offers a more modern view of the cult classic, which originally ran from 1978-1979. Starring Edward James Olmos ( Stand and Deliver ), Mary McDonnell ( Donnie Darko ), Jamie Bamber ( Law and Order: UK ), and, who can forget, Katee Sackhoff 's iconic Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, the show is sure to hit that same, familiar space exploration note.

Lost In Space (2018-2021)

For another modernized take on a classic, try the remake of Lost in Space , based on the original that ran from 1965-1968. The Robinsons are a family who wanted to start over on a space colony (very relatable), but they end up on an uncharted alien planet instead and must struggle for survival. The remake stars Toby Stephens ( Die Another Day ) and Molly Parker ( The Wicker Man ) as Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and ran for three seasons on Netflix.

Star Trek: Prodigy Almost Made Janeway Captain of the Enterprise , Until Kate Mulgrew Said No

By the time Voyager returns home from the Delta Quadrant at the end of its seven-season run , Kathryn Janeway has seen more in her tour of duty than most Starfleet captains see in their lifetimes (even if she and her crew got to skip out on that whole, y’know, cataclysmic interstellar war thing ). So it makes sense that she quickly shoots up Starfleet’s ranks into Admiralty, and is offered a bunch of plush positions—but it also makes sense that she’d insist on returning to her own tough little ship.

One of those plush positions almost became a thing in Star Trek: Prodigy’s second season , which finally begins streaming on Netflix today after a long, strange road to release saw it ushered away from Paramount . In the new season, with Prodigy’s young alien heroes having made their way to Starfleet and helped save the day—earning their place among the next generation of Academy cadets—they are tasked with joining Admiral Janeway on a dangerous rescue mission to find her former first officer and the missing captain of the experimental ship Protostar the kids spent season one racing around in, Chakotay. To do so, Janeway heads out on a newly refitted Voyager-A, but she almost commandeered a far more prestigious vessel in the form of Starfleet’s flagship, the Enterprise.

Prodigy is set around 2384, which means at the time the Enterprise in operation is either the Sovereign-class Enterprise-E —although a ship with its registry is seen in Prodigy’s season 1 finale having been heavily damaged, if not destroyed outright—or its follow up, the Odyssey-class Enterprise-F . They’re both pretty awesome ships, as far as the Enterprise goes, but… they’re no starship Voyager. I may be slightly biased , but hey, so is Kate Mulgrew herself, as she should be: because apparently when told that Janeway could commandeer the Enterprise in Prodigy, the actress behind her flatly refused.

“There was a moment where we were playing with the idea that [season 2’s ship] could be the Enterprise instead,” Prodigy co-creator Dan Hageman told IGN in a new interview . “We [asked] Kate, ‘What do you think if you’re the new captain of the Enterprise,’ and she was not thrilled. She’s like, ‘I’d rather it be the Voyager.’”

Putting aside that Voyager is one of the all-time great Star Trek ship designs, giving Janeway a refit of her home-away-from-home in the Delta quadrant on a mission to relocate Chakotay of all people just makes sense, for the sentimentality of it all. Plus, in-universe, the Voyager herself at this point is an admired and beloved ship in its own rights, a champion of Starfleet’s exploratory ideals in having survived the best part of a decade in a far-flung sector of the galaxy with little in the way of Federation support. It’s only fitting that Janeway get a chance to at last see what Starfleet could do in a souped-up refit of her most beloved ship, rather than just handing her the Enterprise like it’s a prize for passing into Admiralty.

Sure, a vaunted Admiral is “worthy” of the flagship, but maybe we should be asking: is the Enterprise worthy of Kathryn Janeway ?

Could Star Trek: Lower Decks Get a Spin-off After Season 5?

• Star Trek: Lower Decks' final season will leave room for potential spinoffs.
• Showrunner Mike McMahan will introduce characters he wants to see more of in the final season.
• Star Trek has a history of spinoffs, with examples like Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is about to embark on the last leg of its five-year mission. But even though the upcoming season is to be its last , it will leave the door open to a continuation - and maybe more. TrekMovie.com reports that showrunner Mike McMahan has seeded the final season with characters he'd like to spin off.

McMahan had a conversation about the show's final season with The 'Verse podcast, in which he discussed wanting to do more of the series, but bringing it to a satisfying conclusion. But there may be some more hope for the series' combination of Star Trek continuity references and off-the-wall humor in some future spinoffs. Says McMahan of the new season, "There are things that happen in it...I’m being very careful...that are sort of setting up spinoffs and setting up backdoor pilots. There’s characters I’m introducing that you’ll see clearly I wanted to do more with." Of course, McMahan isn't necessarily done with the crew of the USS Cerritos , either: "I would always be into doing more seasons, movies, comics, novels..."

What Other Shows Has 'Star Trek' Spun Off?

Star Trek 's first attempted spinoff dates back to The Original Series . The 1968 episode "Assignment: Earth" was intended to spin off Gary Seven ( Robert Lansing ), a mysterious secret agent operating on modern-day Earth. The spinoff didn't happen, and Gary Seven was never seen again, but the character was referenced in the second season of Star Trek: Picard . Subsequent Trek series, like Deep Space Nine and Voyager , could be considered spinoffs, but did not initially feature any characters or scenarios introduced in episodes of their "parent" show, The Next Generation . Strange New Worlds , whose third season is now in production, is a textbook example of a spinoff; Captain Christopher Pike ( Anson Mount ), crewmembers Una Chin-Riley ( Rebecca Romijn ) and Spock ( Ethan Peck ) and their ship, the USS Enterprise , were introduced in their modern form in the second season of Star Trek: Discovery , and proved so popular that they were spun off into their own series. Another Discovery spinoff, Starfleet Academy , is set to film this summer, after the titular institution was reintroduced in the series' third season; we do not yet know if any Discovery characters will be joining that show's cast.

Star Trek: Lower Decks follows the crew of the Cerritos , a Starfleet ship that is typically assigned to less glamorous missions than the ones you see on other Star Trek shows. Despite that, however, they still get into their share of adventures. The series premiered in 2020, and has been a hit with critics and audiences.

Watch on Paramount+

Star Trek: Lower Decks ' fifth and final season is expected to premiere on Paramount+ later this year . Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
