The only reason why I’ve even watched the
bulk of ST:V is because a local station was running it in reruns every
weekday at 7pm, and it’s easier to maintain interest in a show when the
entire 7-year run can be compressed down into just over 7 months. After all,
it only takes about two months to get past the Kazon. ;P

As far as you know;-) S P O I L E R-> I forget which season it is (the last
perhaps?), but Seska makes one last return in a totally implausible but totally
enjoyable episode:-)

the only reason they are limping through it is to get to the magical 100
episodes for marketing the re-runs.

The Sci-Fi channel has picked up a lot of short-run shows (some of them only
consisting of one season), but they can’t be paying much for them either.
And ST:TOS can sell a 79-ep catalog by virtue of the fact that it has such a
vocally religious fanbase, but even the hard-core trekkies have been booing
Enterprise. If they do hit 100 eps, that’ll be about their only major selling
point. I kinda do hope they make it into syndication. I wouldn’t mind
breezing through everything in half a year just to see what I missed the
first time around. The general lameness of the show was only half of the
reason I stopped watching, but the severe reception problems I experienced
because the local UPN station consists of a bunch of dinky little
ex-weather-stations that often come in no better than stations that are 10x
as far away pretty much killed any desire to hang on in hopes of better days.

I will say that some of the episodes were very enjoyable; the true enjoyment of
these ST:N series is the years of character development a long run provides.
Why didn’t Q appear on ST:E the first year! John De Lancie is Gold:-)

Stargate recently started franchising, there are rumors that another B5 spinoff is in the works, and after the whole debate of whether ST or B5 was superior or which show stole (...)
