At Las Vegas Con, Braga And Coto Talk Enterprise (By T'Bonz on August 11, 2009). Brannon Braga and Manny Coto tell fans what a fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise would have been like, and Braga takes the blame for the controversial Star Trek: Enterprise finale. As reported by TrekMovie.com, a fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise would have included a return to the Mirror Universe. Four or five episodes would have been spread through the season as a "mini-series within a series." Season Five would have been about tying the "origins of the Federation" and the "begin whispers of the Romulan War" together. The Romulans were to be the only major villains in the fifth season, but new minor villains within "mini-arcs" would have appeared at various points. "Future Guy" was "probably going to be a Romulan" and would have tied into the Romulan War with a future Romulan trying to "instigate things." There were plans to try to make Shran the Andorian a regular character on the NX-01 in the fifth season. Braga spoke about These Are The Voyages, the Star Trek: Enterprise finale that angered many Enterprise fans. "I will take full blame for that episode, for those that didn't like it," he said. "In retrospect, it was a very cool idea, that in the end was a mistake. The concept was to have Manny do a final two-part finale, but then have a final episode send a valentine to all of Star Trek over the last eighteen years. We just thought it would be a cool concept to show the Next Generation's crew looking back, though the holodeck, at Archer's crew. It is a high concept, but I am not sure it came together."

New and original pictures of the Enterprise main crew to illustrate the seaon 6 (also available in the pages 'cast - pictures'. Et new illustration of the virtual season 6, even if (for the moment) episodes text are not available on this site.

Majel Barrett Rodenberry died today. Born on 23 February 1932, she was famous for being Gene's wife. Her actress life in Star Trek surely is the longest in duration and series, since she played Nurse Chapel in TOS, Number One in TOS pilote, Lwuxanna Troi and the computer voice in TNG and DS9, the Voyager computer voice in Voyager, and recently in video games too. She was still active last year. We will all regret her.

17 new episodes-novels located right after the end of the virtual season 5 are coming now with the new exclusive virtual season 6 in French (and mirror for the english version). The episode 1 finds Enterprise, badly damaged, in dry docks around the Earth. And not only the starship must be rebuilt...

It really was time to update the display of these little wonderful parodies on the site... It's done, for the moment in French, and very soon in English. From now, there will be a new 'comic'-trip each week. And there is material for more than a year, so have a nice time reading.

With season 5 now complete and online, I've added to the cast pictures gallery the pictures of the 7 main characters as they are in the virtual season 5

Here it is, the last of 15 episodes of the virtual season 5 of Enterprise is online. We are now to take some time before relauch the thing into the 6th season, more intense.

The 13th episode of the virtual season 5 of Enterprise is online, available both in text and pdf (pocket book formatting). It's the first of the 3 parts of the great finale, and you will only have to wait 5 and 9 days in order to read the 2nd and 3rd (and last) parts. Then, we'll take some time to prepare the continuation: the virtual season 6, with its 17 great episodes, ready in English and to come soon in French. Have a nice time reading

The episode 12 of the virtual season 5 in online since this morning. The Grand Final is near with Section 31, Klingons, and secrets that will keep their strangeness but find their light in the 3 ever last episodes of the Finale, to come online as soon as the end of this week.

While the preparation goes fast for the last episodes of the virtual season 5, here are 22 new pictures to illustrate them.

The news has been confirmed today, a now famous date. A sixth Star Trek series is on its way. Many Cotto, after proving he could bring a new hope with Star Trek Enterprise in particular, and real good serious ideas in Star Trek universe, will be THE creator of the new series. Berman and Braga seem to be out of the game. After looking at the imagination Cotto showed us in the fourth season of Star Trek Enterprise, we can only be excited with this news. More information in the next days for all the Star Trek fans who naturally are... 'like fishes in the water' as told in French today.

Added to cast the characters pictures in season 4

With episode 8 of the virtual season 5 online since friday, we just reached the symbolic second half of the season.

Then, it's another stoy, to be read in the other news of the day.

There has never been a Star Trek book like this one. Imagined scenarios, new worlds and historic battles are all brought to life between its pages, as settings for the spectacular starships which have graced the Star Trek universe throughout all five television series. This is what happens when you turn loose some of the most talented computer generated artists in Hollywood - who also just happen to be Star Trek fans - and ask them to create images they would like to have seen on Star Trek. Over the past seven years, wall calendars called Star Trek: Ships of the Line have displayed breathtaking art, specially commissioned for the Ships of the Line series, only to be discarded at the end of the year. To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Star Trek, the best calendar images of Star Trek battleships have been collected together, with new additional descriptions and history to give them their proper setting in the Star Trek universe. The result is a sumptuous visual record and a magnificent reference book which any Star Trek fan would be proud to own. (thanks to Amazon for this synopsis).

New in the section products-fanart, a series of 7 large originales pictures on Enterprise and its crew. On each one, every member of the senior crew surround a strange cristal, under the monitoring of a main member and of one of its favorite saying.

After a month of pause, the 6th episode of the virtual season 5, Starbase One, Part One, is finally online in French, and of course in English as the mirror site (see the season 5 page and visit the original link for more details). The episode will keep you alive until its conclusion, on September the first. Meanwhile, have a good reading and happy holidays to you all, and good trek.

Eh oh, missing translators from English to French to garanty the continuation of Enterprise virtual season 5. A third of the season is online, but all the rest is till to be done. So please, if you're able to, or know someone who can help in translating an episode, or even a part of an episode, don't hesitate to contact me be the "looking for translators" box in the season 5 page. Right now, episode 6 may be online early in August, and 7 in September. The rest depends on your wish.

Episode 5.05 (virtual seaon). Archer welcomes a Vulcan delegation onboard the Enterprise which is due to rendez-vous at Starbase 1 for its official opening. But the first newly built interspecies base is in danger, a spy is hidden in the delegation. Archer runs against time to unveil him.

The virtual season 5 has just been launched in French, and meanwhile the 15 episodes of the season in English, published in their original version, show a real success. They are so welcomed that the producers have decided to continue the adventure by launching the vuirtual season 6 as soon as June 2006. Of course, this site will continue to translate and publish both French and English versions of the new other virtual season, meaning you, readers, will benefit new adventures of the Enterprise crew until the end of 2007. It's really a good news, isn't it?

Second episode of the virtual season 5, "Damage Control, Part 2". The solution of the first original story of the newly launch virtual season. The Enterprise discovers the truth behind the Terra Prime mystery... that will come back as an arc all along the season.

Star Trek Enterprise and Star Trek globally are dead... Not entirely, since Enterprise is still alive on the Internet. Then enjoy the new virtual season 5 of Star Trek Enterprise, online here in French and as a mirror site of virtual.entstcommunity.org for the English version. Today begins episode 01 where Archer launches his ship searching for the real guys behind Paxton and Terra Prime... The premices of 2 and a half difficult centuries for the alpha quadrant begins in this season.

Next wednesday, 15 March 2006, ends the long adventures of the Startrek universe on French TV with the airing of the Enterprise finale. Stay online, everything is NOT finished, the virtual season 5 begins 2 days later on Friday 17 March 2006, both in French (here on this website) and in English (mirror of the virtual.entstcommunity.org). You're going to discover the direct continuation of season 4 as 13 novels-episodes of a new season. New ennemies seen in season 4 will reveal their plots and the Interstellar Alliance - the premice of a Federation - will grow. Origins of essential elements of the future in Startrek will be revealed. Why should you read season 5? Because Startrek Enterprise COULD NOT be cancelled before bringing us the conclusions of all the new elements added in season 4.

Jimmy, the French cable and satellite chanel, begins airing the forth and last season of Star trek Enterprise on wednesdays, from 4 January 2006. These are by far the best episodes of the 4 seasons, thanks to the coming of new producer Manny Coto that has added a complete renewal in the stories. Mini-arcs about Vulcan, Klingon, Khan's ancestor histories, were are warmly welcomed. Sadly it wasn't enough to save the series from the gripping golden hands of chanels directors (The Trek disappeared in front of Money).

With the 4th season of Enterprise just finished a few months ago on TV, it's probably, and sadly, the end of Startrek on TV for years to come. Fans could not let the light go out so easily, so a group of fans writers have begun writing the fifth virtual season. There will be 20 episodes to continue the story exactly where the episode Terra Prime has left the heroes of the first, chronologically speaking, Captain, crew and worlds of Star Trek. So we will have again our blue skin ally, and new enemies that should have played a major role if the series had not been cancelled on TV. There will definitely be 5 seasons, and hopelfully 6 of Enterprise. The virtual season in French will begin on Friday 17 March 2006, and can already be found in English on entstcommunity group website (there will be a backup here).

The news search form from the so-called section 'news', who was not active until now, is entirely operational since yesterday. Type a keyword, and the central panel displays every news including it. Simple... and efficient.

Were is airing Enterprise in Europe, what day and what hour? All the answers on the homepage of this site with the new version of the airing guide on TV in Europe. Any diffusion in the next 7 days is shown in order, with link to the episode, and continuously updated every 24 hours.

After some relax times, and in the vain waiting of discovery of screen captures for the ever last finale episode of Enterprise, the episode guide has been finally updated to the end of season 4, e.g. the end of Startrek Enterprise.

The year 2005 will definitely be very sad in the Star Trek world. Wednesday 20 July, the incredible engineer of the Enterprise Starship, scottish Scott Montgomery, died. We will regret the actor James Doohan, he was suffering of pneumonia and Alzheimer disease and died at the age of 85. He has attended a last convention dedicated to him last year in Los Angeles. Since 1966, il had played in the original series and also all 6 classic movies, as well as in 'Generations' movie and in the TNG episode 'Relics'. He and McCoy are now together somewhere in the star trek paradise. Kirk must be sad today, Doc told him 'He's dead, Jim'.

We're a month till the last original episode of a Star Trek series to be aired on TV, and time is to cleaning in Star Trek studios. Stages 8, 9 and 18, some occupied by Star Trek set for 27 years, are strangely empty and quiet.

Please see the episode guide page for all kind of details, little by little along spring 2005.

Tuesday 8 March 2005, this will be the latest of the latest day of shooting for the finale of Star Trek Enterprise. The end, a dream, an adventure relaunched in 1987 that stops, after 18 years of continuous Star Trek life. So what do we know about this Star Trek episode? Although the secret is jalously kept (actors have declared that if they are to reveal anything, they'll be killed), we know that Concellor Deanna Troi et Commander (Captain from now?) William T. Riker appear in a third of the episode, but with no time travel. So will we be propulsed in 2381, 4 years after the return home of the USS Voyager, for a commemoration of the creation of the Federation witnessed by our two lovers onboard the USS Titan, the Federation starship of Captain Riker for 3 years? The answer will be confirmed in the next few weeks.

During the fans demonstration in front of Paramount Studios on Friday 25 Fébruary 2005 organised by Tim Brazeal, head of the project SaveEnterprise.com, famous Enterprise crew and production people have given their strong support in order for the UPN heads to renew Enterprise for a 5th season. Many Cotto, executive producer of Enterprise, was there, in very good company. Also supporting the fans in thise endeavour are Mike Sussman, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Andre Bormanis, writters for Enterprise, John Eaves, illustration producer, Doug Drexler, chef of illustration, Mike and Denise Okuda, scenic art supervisor and technical consultant (every screens in series since TNG have been invented by them), Dave Rossi, associated producer, Ron B. Moore (writter and producer of DS9), Vince Deadrick Jr., stunt coordinator, Alan Kobayashi, scenic artist, Brad Look, make-up artist, and Jim Van Over, scenic artist. Even Anthony Montgomery, the actor playing Travis Mayweather, was present for supporting the action. And now, we've heard that a manager for commercial space flight has given 3 millions dollars to have a 5th season of Enterprise. Knowing that the complete season needs 30 millions dollars, it's far from being a victory, but it's already something never seen before to save Star trek Enterprise. So now, what we do UPN heads.

Web update: the pictures of the episode of season 4 up to 'Divergence' (4.16) are online. There are then only 6 episodes whose visuals are mysterious... unless the unprecedent wave of protest against the cancellation of Enterprise have effect on the UPN head.

It's never seen before. After the ad campain by fans for saving Enterprise that has brought a full page of ad in L.A. Times 'SAVE STAR TREK', it's up to Manny Coto to take part in the campaign and demand a 5th season on the Paramount network. Engaged, he claims he has the full page ad in his office. So above all this, the fans will organise a day of protest on Friday, February the 25th, outside the Paramount studios, in support of the show and against its cancellation, and with the information relay of the official website startrek.com. Captain, it's a mutiny, you might as well change your mind and go straight to a 5th season!

It's official, Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis will play once more their character of Commander Riker and Betazoid Deanna Troi in order to appear in the final and last episode of the Star Trek Enterprise series. The crew of Archer is going to meet its future counterpart in Star Trek The Next Generation, in an last temporal travel of 2 and a half centuries. The secret is still well kept in the production crew, and we shall be waiting for Berman and Braga confessions, the authors of the story of the finale.

For the first time in 18 years, once the title of the next episode revealed, there won't be any new material to be discovered in the TV world of Star Trek. 21 of the 22 episodes in the 4th and last season of the last child of this universe are already known. You will discover them in the episode guide, where you will discover everything on the story that conclude the series.

HERE COMES THE SAD PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCED ON THE STARTREK.COM WEBSITE: UPN and Paramount Network Television have jointly announced that this will be the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise on UPN. [Production will continue until the end of this season, which will finish shooting in March.] The series finale will air on Friday, May 13, 2005. 'Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction,' said Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, UPN. 'We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers.' David Stapf, President of Paramount Network Television, said, 'The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. We are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future.' A prequel to the original 'Star Trek' series, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE premiered on UPN on Sept. 26, 2001, and aired for its first three seasons on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). On Oct. 8, 2004, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE moved into its current time on Fridays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). Through its four-year run, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE produced a total of 98 episodes and earned four Emmy Awards.

After a few months of a long wait, fans can now be happy again. Sky One airs Enterprise season 4 from March 8, 2005, every Tuesday at 8.00 PM. This season is certainly the best of Enterprise, with these little mini-series dedicated to Vulcan civil war, Doctor Soong (creator's ancestor of Data) with his augments, Romulians, Klingons, Miror universe... Thanks to the new producer Manny Coto and his fresh ideas.

Finally arrived! Voyager comes back on wednesdays nights on Jimmy in March 2005 in France. We'll find Captain Kathryn Janeway and her crew where we left her in 1999, at the end of season 2. Airing dates at the time slot of Enterprise, as soon as its season 3 ends.

6 episodes before the end of season 4, Manny Cotto seems to be confident in the future of Enterprise. Shooting stops for 2 weeks until 3 January, and then goes on until the end of the season, in March. We are now promised a cliffhanger season final, even if the execs still keep an absolute silence about a possible 5th season or not. Anyway, everyone agrees to tell this 4th season is by far the best of Enterprise. Stories are much deeper than anything else in this new Star Trek opus.

Paramount announced it without date for a while, here comes the complete season DVD box set of Enterprise coming next year in stores. The season 1 should be available on May 1st, 2005. TV Shows on DVD even announced July 12th for the season 2, September 6th for the season 3, and November 1st for the season 4 (the last??)

The official pictures of the latest episodes of the season 4 have been added in the individual episode description. Please note than the official site now publishes on a weekly base 2 desktop pictures about the episode to be aired. Warning, these pictures are only visible during 7 days. I can already announce you all these pictures will be visible on this website, in their own page.

New cult episode of the season 5 added to the episodes guide, entitled 'Babel One', episode number 12. Archer plays a new diplomatic role between Tellarites, Andorians, Humans, and even Romulians, in a pre-federation encounter organised to transport all these people to the world of Babel.

Actor Vaughn Armstrong, the Admiral Forrest in 'Enteprise', keep silence on rumors of death fate that is probably reserved to its character during the season 4. The Admiral, dear friend and mentor of Captain Archer, would die in a terrorist attack. The actor declared, during the TV Cult Festival in UK on weekend of 8th october, that fans will have to wait to know. However, he also announced that he was promised to play new characters in the series.

Details and pictures of the episode 'Kir'Shara', where the Revolution comes to Vulcan, in the same time as a threat of war against Andorians. Lot of new star trek History is learned about Surak, T'Pau, the planet and its weapons.

At last properly updated, next airing dates of the French episodes of Enterprise's season 2 on Jimmy, the TV series channel. Jimmy airs season 2 of Enterprise since beginning of September 2004, 2 episodes each Wednesday night at 8.45PM. We all hope that season 3 will therefore follows in January 2005.

After some silent time (moving and plugging), here are the first 10 episodes of the season 4, detailled in their own individual page. And by the way, a little bug correction in the episode global guide, in order to directly and properly access to any episode.

There won't be any delay in the episodes listing of the complete guide, compared to new added individual episode pages. The guide is automatically updated. Done for a maximum speed news delivery.

2nd mini-arc of the season, it will bring us from 4th to 6th episode. Every details in the episode guide...

Look at season 4, we're promised it will be fun (Bakula), and continuous in mini-arc stories (Coto). Well, after 2 episodes about the end of the temporal war, here is the first of a series of episodes concerning the wedding of T'Pol and a Vulcan, Koss, organised by T'Las, T'Pol's mother. The details are still rumours, but shooting begins on August 4th, and both characters of T'Pol's life should become recurring.

Jerry Goldsmith was a reference as musisian in Star Trek. He had created TNG and Voyager's themes, but also the music of numerous motion pictures (Planet of the Apes, The men from UNCLE,...). He died on July 21, at the age of 75. We'll regret him and his sense of creation.

During the UPN summer party held in Santa Monica the 16 July 2004, Coto, Berman and Bragga have announced a few arc-stories to be developped in season 4 of Star Trek Enterprise : First one concerns the Vulcan civil war to happen in 2154, that should see Surak as a kind of Martin Luther King, and transform the middle-age extremist-like Vulcans that we ued to see in classic TNG, DS9 and VOY Vulcans (see Alpha Q./History). Another arc, and apparently in fact the first one in the episodes to be seen) will finish with the Temporal War. We'll see the last of Daniels and Silik. Berman and Bragga still don't know if they will reveal the identity of the future figure seen in the pilot and in Shockwave. Finally, Brent Spinner (Data) is coming for 3 episodes regarding Doctor Noonien Soong's ancestor, Data's creator. This ancestor wants to create super-beings from the eugenic wars, a kind of Khan. Last revelation, we are going to discover again the green slave women of Orion, and the Orion Syndicat , at the border of Klingon space.

His arrival was official since a month, and UPN had declared that he would become the show runner in place of Rick Berman and Brannon Bragga. But we now know his exact role in the 4th season of Star Trek Enterprise : he is the 3rd executive producer, alongside Bermann and Bragga, lone masters until then. We have discovered Manny at the UPN annual summer party for Television Critics Association (TCA) held in Santa Monica (California). Every main actors of Enterprise were present (except for A. Montgomery), and Linda Park surprised us by coming with her boyfriend, Tom Hardy. This name does not remember you anything ? However, you all know him, he was Picard's clone in Star Trek : Nemesis.

It's a great aniiversary today. For the 1st time, on July the 21, 1969, man landed on the Moon. It was the first celestrial corps were Earth people was travelling. The adventure will long 4 years, 6 missions and 11 men will land one after the other, always further, always longer. These were the first Trekkers of all.

All the details about the first 2 episodes of Enterprise Season 4. They are the continuation of the end of the 3rd season and are entitled 'Storm Front Part I & II'.

The actor who impersonated the 1st famous Star Trek engineer, Scotty, and who wanted to talk to a Macintosh mouse in 1984 for the 4th movie, has the Alzeihmer disease, just revealed his wife. At 84, James Doohan is just at the 1st steps of the disease, but if he is still sticking to all that happened during the Star Trek production years, he now experiences problems remembering his breakfasts. Older information already revealed James Doohan had Parkinson's disease, diabetes, lung fibrosis and pneumonia. We still hope Scotty will be in great shape for the so long awaited inauguration of his star on Hollywood Boulevard, at the end of August 2004.

TV Guide magazine of June 20th revealed that according to sources, the real reason UPN renewed Enterprise was that Paramount studios offered to drop the price of each episode of the series from $1.7 million to $800,000. We knows that Paramount strongly desired a fourth season for syndication rights (more lucrative for a series that has produced nearly 100 episodes), and the continuation will also bring back money in merchandise sold to Star Trek fans. All the Star Trek merchandising (video games, books, dolls and other collectibles) are sold for $200 million a year in stores, bringing in royalties of $20 million to Paramount (thanks to TrekToday for this news).

The actor Dominic Keating (Malcolm Reed in Star Trek Enterprise) announced to SFX people thant the producer and writter Manny Cotto, just arrived in Enterprise for the 3rd season, was to become the chief producer and showrunner of the series for the 4th season to come. Keating also declared that Berman and Braga are taking back seats, even a sabbatical year, in order to develop other projects in minds. Braga would become an overview consultant. Anyway, that looks like a suspension for both creators of the series. Cotto wrote 5 episodes of season 3 (Similitude, The Council,...). For the BBC in England, Keating said that tensions existed between production and UPN executives, who want to stop Enterprise. He does not think Enterprise will ever have 7 seasons, as the new UPN execs have no relationship with the studio and only think of the money.

All new pages (5) are arriving with all the fan-art from all authors dedicated to Enterprise. A large part of the 1st page is made by your host. I hope I didn't make any mistake in credits, but in case I did, don't hesitate to tell me so, I'll correct. This update goes with new updates of other pages (casting, quadrant...)

The 20 May 2004, Paramount officially announced the continuation of Enterprise for a 4th season. It's a happy ending of cancellation rumours for everyone. However, we already know (according to an interview of Scott Bakula, aka Captain Archer) that this new season will only have 22 episodes, against 24 this year. Producers have promised new series of composed stories, in the style of the 3rd season, but with a complete different subject, still unknown. So we'll see that in mid July, at the return of the crew and cast for the shooting of the 1st episode of season 4.

The season 3 episode guide is now complete with the last 3 parts : #22, The Council; #23, Countdown, and #24 (finale), Zero Hour. A whole year of battles against the Xindix finds its conclusion, let's hope it for the good of Earth. Left to know if the spectacular finale of, let's say it, the best year of Enterprise, will be the announcement of a season 4, or the ultimate startrek finally for a long time. Anyway, the producers (without Berman) have announced their wish to continue with the new style of arc stories begun in series 2003-2004. I personnally hope for this, as it was a proven concept done in Babylon 5.

2 new episodes added : 'The Forgotten' (3.20), and 'E2' (pronounce 'E squarred') (3.21), with 5 pictures for the first. There are only 3 unknown episodes this season (24 eps only this year), hoping there will be a 4th season.

According to an unknown source, internal to the production and already correct source of the airing time slot change, a memo has arrived in the Marketing and Media Relations department. The President of Paramount Televisions, Garry Hart, has talked about replacing some of the production staff, including Rick Berman. The problem came to his attention after the announcement, last week, of executives chiefs Les Moonves and Dawn Ostroff. Meanwhile, Enterprise goes on airing new episodes until Marche the 3rd on Wednesday 8PM (concurrencing Smallville), then will air old episodes for 6 weeks at 9PM to test the new time slot. Mid-April, UPN will air the last episodes of season 3. Let's hope they won't be the last ever...

After the announcement of reduction from 26 to 24 episodes in this third series of Enterprise, new insistant rumors (but anonymous) talk about a possible cancellation. The source talks about 'tense atmosphere on stage', especially after the cancellation of 'Jake 2.0', a show qualified as 'safe' by UPN, exactly as Enterprise is. It seems executive producers (Berman and Braga) are looking for another TV network to go on. Besides, Berman has announced the Xindi arc will finish this season, not more. He didn't announce anything for a following season, except he will like to go on with the founding of the Federation (interview in Star Trek Magazine, January 2004). And now here is the worst : the Paramount direction (Les Moonves and Dawn Ostroff) refuse to announce the renewing of Enterprise for fall. Let's be conscious it is a very probable evidence of cancellation.

The 18th and 19th episodes of season 3 are entitled 'Azati Prime' and 'Damage'. The Enterprise finally arrives to the planet where the super-weapon destined to destroy Earth is built. Then begins a major battle against the Xindis where the Enterprise will endure severe damage, topic of the next episode. Again, Temporal Agent Daniel comes back for helping Archer in this conflict.

This site now whishes each given happy (or sometimes sad) day the birthdays (and memorials) of more than 280 actors and crew of Star Trek world, on the top of the homepage. At this day, it is the most complete recurring actors database (some dates given personnally by actors).

Enterprise NX-01 ship integral description is described in the technical section. Right after the general description of the ship and its revolutionnary Earth propulsion, 7 pages describe each of the 59 elements of the 7 decks. 88 pictures illustrate this in large format.

The 17th episode of season 3 is entitled 'Hatchery'. Archer wants to save eggs of Xindi-insectoid species from a wreckage of a ship of these ennemies. The episode was finished before Christmas and all the production team stops for a 2 weeks vacations.

Almost 300 characters have already been added to the cast section of this site. They are groupped in pages as following : main, crew, recurring, major guests, and minor guest per season.

The great date in France is January the 7th, 2004 (at 8:45PM). It is the launch of Enterprise on Canal Jimmy cable and satellite channel. The entire pilote is aired that night. The french translation of its title is 'Engage' (en avant toute). I don't know what to think of this french title, but that freakes me for the translation of the dialogs. By the way, the top 1 gag of the year is about TV guide summaries of the pilote, pretending that Vulcans want to kill the injured Klingon. If they want to be less ignorant, I would just recommend them to have a look at this link to the episode guide. Second episode on January the 14th : 'Trek mission' (mission d'exploration).

For the first time since the 1st season of Voyager and the 2nd time in 24 seasons of Star Trek (since the launch of TNG), a season of Star Trek is shortened from 26 to 24 episodes. Officially, the reason is to match the standard of actual TV series. But in fact, this decision comes after a rumor that talked about a cancellation of the series after the end of season 4. And this shortened number would allow to reach exactely the 100 episodes necessary to have a better syndication sell. Any way, this shows that even if the change of direction initiated at the end of season 2 is good, it is still not enough to save Enterprise. Even if they talk about 'safety position' for Enterprise, Paramount seems to desire a cost reduction due to still to low ratings. The rumor even talked about moving Enterprise to Saturday night, the death time in America. For the moment, this rumor has been denied, but who knows what's hidden behind false truth and real lies?

The startrek.enterprise.online website is about to be born again. All is going to display the menu+information screen style now. On the menu of this major upgrade, sections : episodes (updated to season 3 ep.16), casting (actors, char,recurring, crew, guest updated to season 3 ep.16), tech (the 7 decks finally entirely detailled WITH pictures), alpha (history, species, ships, worlds of the quadrant), products (books, videos, cd, action figures, models, music...), news, comic parody sevtrek, links, site map. In each page of each section, best pictures and most accurate and details information will be displayed.

The first 13 episodes of th season 3 are now ready for use. For the next month, actors and crew will take a long waited vacation before coming back to stage after Christmas for a tie-break second part. Spring will come with the decision of going on or not with the series. After the sudden change of direction seen in September, ratings have increased, with is not bad regarding that Enterprise now airs at the same time as Smallville. However, ratings are still not as good as they were in season 1. Then are the producers ready to sign for a new season or stop spending their money for Enterprise ?

After a little silent break, here come a few pictures of the last aired episodes, The Breach, Cogenitor and Regeneration. In the lattest episode, Earth scientists discover Borg survivors from the missed attack seen in 'First contact', then explaining their presence in the series although it's Picard, 200 years later, who is supposed to have discovered the Borgs with a little help from Q.

Et here are the last 2 episodes of the Enterprise season 2 finally available in the guide. Bounty (#2.25) tells us how Archer is captured by a series of bounty hunters, all attracted by the price promised by the Klingons after the escape of our Captain at the end of his judgement (see that episode, a few weeks ago). The Finale of the season 2 is called The Expanse (#2.26) and is a cliffhanger ! It presents the Klingons coming back for vengeance. The surprise comes to Archer and its crew when, coming back to Earth after having defeated the Klingons, they discover the scars of a disastrous attack on our planet. The end in Septembre, when it seems that the series will seriously increase in speed and actions. Have a very nice summer season...

Two novels announced : release in Paperback of Broken Bow (7 USD) in June 2003, and a new one, Daedalus, in November 2003. As for the calendars 2004, they are all due in July 2003 and we present on the site covers of Enterprise (same cover as last year, no season 2 official casting pictures yet!), and of 'Ships of the line', which cover is a good promise for what's expected inside.

The last pre-finale season 2 episodes are known and bring us into a kind of temporal travel. In 'regeneration', Earth scientists discover strange beings in the Arctic... It's the Borg! And of course, they wake them, causing the beginning of the assimilation of Earth... In the prepenultimate episode of season 2, 'First flight', we jump a few years into Archer and Trip's past to discover the story of the first flight of a Warp 5 ship from Earth, the NX-Beta, from the programme created by Cochrane and Henry Archer.

A long time after opening the complete description of the deck A, here comes the revelation of the Deck C known details. this deck has dramatically increased in interest as it's where the gymnase is located, full of devices and other torture practice instruments, like the gyroscope, directly adaptated from the real astronauts training camps. Inside the page, you'll find a brief text description of each known element of the deck C, and some pretty pictures and screen captures to illustrate them. Next stop: deck D and the Engineering...

OK, this is not Enterprise, but it's important for all Startrek fans who live their passion: Nemesis will be distributed in France with 100 copies (source AlloCine) for its release on March, the 12th, 2003... Two weeks from now. Here is also a detailled agenda of the release dates in Europe: UK: 3 January 2003 (3 millions Pounds), Germany and Austria: 16 January 2003, Netherlands: 6 March 2003, France: 12 March 2003, Espana: 14 March 2003, Belgium: 26 March 2003 (for the international festival of fantastic film in Brussels, 14-29 March), Finland: 28 March 2003, Denmark: 4 April 2003, Italy: 16 May 2003. Please note that UIP decided to cancel the release of Nemesis in some little European countries, including Hungary and Norway.

Braga and Berman have been interviewed in the last edition of Weekly-TV. Asked about the fall of ENTERPRISE's ratings (24 percent in 1 year), Braga said they don't know what to say but they're 'bummed'. Now the good news: he announces more more grand storytelling and 'epic challenges [] that better exploit the sense of awe and danger.' in the show. Berman also said fans can expect a clear change in direction for ENTERPRISE in the future: 'Let’s just say there will be a slight revision in our mission, and a slight revision in the part of space that Enterprise is heading into.' What a good news. Maybe now we'll deal with the Klingon war, the Romulian tenses, the establishement of the neutral zone and finally the creation of a large community of species against these threat. A community that will eventually call themselves... the Federation. If this happens, that may be the final, 5 years from now.

After the first 2 series 'Broken Bow' and 'Away Team' each of 6 action figures and various device and models of Enterprise, Art Asylum just released in January 2003 a separate and special edition of 'Doctor Phlox', exclusively sold by Toys'R Us stores. However, it can be bought by internet but should be hard to be found another way. Doctor Phlox was the last main character of Enterprise not displayed in action figure after the first characters released in May 2002 and the addition of Trip and Sato in December 2002.

'We can only assume that the fan base in some way has shrunk.' This very alerting sentence on the future of Startrek has been pronounced by the Paramount head of motion pictures, Sherry Lansing, in an article of the February 21st issue of Entertainment Weekly called 'Falling Star.' It refers to the failure in the failure of Nemesis in the Box Office. The movie has only reached 60 millions of dollars around the world, far from its 80 millions budget. And when heads of Paramount come to declare this kind of thing, we can be afraid that decisions regarding the 3rd season of Enterprise may be unsure, even if Mr Lansing didn't seem to incriminate R. Berman for the failure. It's a new strong indication for, at best, a series redefinition, or, at worst, its definitive stop. We shall know more in the next few weeks as the decision for the production of the 3rd season arrives.

Four new episode pages in this update, et around 10 other episodes upgraded, here is the program of the day. The Seventh (#7) and The Communicator (#8) finally got their screen captures, numerous new details and notes have been added to following episodes, and the official pictures are now going up to Future Tense (#16), the new official name of the episode previously called Crash Landing.

Since last November, the audience never stops falling. From one week to the next, new episodes break the ground one after the other. This week, Stigma was the big test. Never so much monay had been used in advertising for an episode this season. Judgement: a failure, since the episode, although increasing its rates by 10 to 15 percents with regard to last week episode, still has the 3rd worse rate of this bad season. A fact that has to frighten us in a time where UPN changes its series by making disappear the too old or too low in rates (Buffy definitively ends this spring 2003). So please, dear producers: jump into the action, forget about the normal daily life of a ordinary-like crew. Enterprise is anything but that, they're the FIRSTS, the EXPLORERS by excellence !

In the 19th episode of the 2nd season, Judgement, Archer may be faced with a life sentence judgement for having helped a Klingon rebel colony. The judgement is set on the outpost that will be later destroy by Romulans, as learned in TNG's 'Yesterday's Enterprise,' and the sentence is to be executed in the dilithium colony where... Kirk will be in Startrek 6.

In the 18th episode of the 2nd season, The Crossing, the crew act strangely after being possessed by aliens that left the ship adrift in space.

Archer and Trip are taken by mistake as prisoners toward the Canamar penal colony while visiting Enolian species.

Each Monday at 8PM from January the 6th, Sky|One (UK) airs the 2nd season of Enterprise. Monday 6: Shockwave II, a disaster vision of the 31st century where Archer reads strange books talking about Federation and Romulian Star Empire. Monday 13: Carbon Creek, the Vulcan Roswell in Pennsylvania.

During the first week of December, UPN programming chief Dawn Ostroff confirmed that ENTERPRISE is being slightly retooled by promising sexier and action-packed episodes, to try and curb the decline observed in the ratings since the beginning of the season 2. In one year, the audience has been cut by 15 percent while rival WB has increased by 17 percent on the same period. TV Guide has just called Enterprise the series "lost in Space".

One year after its launch, Enterprises series has already produced 2 original stories and 2 novelisation of episodes (Broken Bow, Shockwave, unfortunately at the price of a hard cover for the moment). In March 2003, another book will focus on our favorite Vulcan T'Pol.

The characters of Enterprise are on sale in 7 inches action figures, a larger size than before, since the ArtAsylum company gained the licence for this kind of products. For our greatest joy (and less for our money's), 2 sets of 6 characters plus 2 set deluxe are already issued. The 1st set, on sale since May 2002, includes Archer, T'Pol, Trip, Mayweather in their uniforms an Silik and Klaang, the heroes of Broken Bow. The 2nd set, in the stores since December 2002, includes Archer, T'Pol, Reed and Sato in spacesuits, Shran the Andorian and the Kretassian Captain (from the episode Fortunate Son).

Polar Light, a coorporation that builds models and collectible toys, has just gained a licence to produce models for startrek series. In july 2003 (tentative date given by Polar Lights), they will sell a 11' model of the original Enteprise NCC-1701 including several configurations, for various constitution class vessels. But most insteressant, a new 60 cm model of the newest Enterprise, the NX-01, should be found in shops soon after. The goal of Polar Light is to make 2 models styles in parallele : a first, simple, 1/1000 scale, for beginners, and a second, more accurate, 1/350 scale, for confirmed people. Several ships are forseen in this latest accurate style, and the NX-01 is already being build.
The models will be build par designer Thomas Sasser. Polar Light is part of Playing Mantis, Inc., ancients and collectible toys builder, founded in 1993.

Talking to Sci-Fi Wire today executive producer Brannon Braga has revealed that the ENTERPRISE crew will have its first brush with the Romulans early in season two, ending months of speculation about the introduction of the Romulans into the series. 'Very early in the season we will have our first brush with the Romulans. ... Capt. Archer will have a very lethal brush with the Romulans early on.' He added, 'We've been very careful. The continuity is airtight. Believe me.'
Braga also reveals that former X-FILES scribe John Shiban's first script will involve Lt. Reed pinned under a deep-space mine on the exterior hull of the NX-01. This script will be the third of the season. Speaking about the Vulcans, Braga says that the second episode of the series will involve time travel back to the 1950s and a secret about the Vulcans. 'One of the things we realized early on, when we were doing this series, was that there was a chance to make the Vulcans really interesting again. ... The Vulcans are really a paradoxical species, especially on this show, in that they are very enlightened, and consider themselves to be enlightened, but they're really kind of screwed up, too. ... The second or third episode will be a big [Vulcan] episode, which actually takes place in the 1950s, and we learn that first contact with Zefram Cochrane actually wasn't the first time Vulcans had been on Earth. And the High Command has this secret thing that they're trying to cover up.' He also promises big revelations about T'Pol's character. He says the Temporal Cold War will take a backseat after the premiere gives hints about the birth of the Federation and Phlox and Mayweather will get more work this year. Brannon goes on to say Captain Archer will get his space legs as the season progresses and grow into the role of a captain trying to prove his mission. For more, check out this page.
Speaking more globally, he said, 'we're trying to improve on the first year. We've got a great part 2 to [Shockwave], which we were very pleased with, and that's terrific. We're about seven stories in. We're just starting. ... We want to capitalize more on the fact that it's a prequel. We want to have a season that maybe has even more action than it had last season.'
Rick Berman and Brannon Braga also both revealed plenty more at Sunday's Television Critics Association UPN party. Speaking of 'Carbon Creek,' he revealed 'We've got a show that takes place in 1957, where we learn that Vulcans actually made first contact with Earth long before Zefram Cochrane. The whole show takes place in the 1950s, with T'Pol's great-grandmother.'
Rick Berman also hinted about two more episodes, including the first comedy of the season. 'We've got some great stuff coming up,' Berman said. 'We've written about six episodes to date. Brannon and I are writing our third now, which is kind of a 'La Femme Nikita'-type episode. We also have a very humorous episode that has our good captain going and spending some time in Sickbay, because his dog gets sick. He moves into Sickbay the same way a mother will move into the hospital when her child gets sick, and it ends up being an 'Odd Couple' kind of an episode between the captain and Dr. Phlox. It's a lot of fun.'
At last, Brannon went on to mention the appearance of the Romulans jesting, 'the continuity's airtight, so I don't want to hear any complaints!'.

Interview given by B. Braga for Star Trek Communicator, July 2002 issue.
New revelations on the Temporal Cold War in the 1st episode, 'Shockwave, II'. 'Soneone doesn't want humans to success in their space exploration, because it would result in the creation of an interplanetary alliance' has said Braga. Everything won't be revealed in that episode, though. This line will be followed in other episodes that each time will reveal new key points. The idendity of the Future Guy figure, the mysterious human that give orders to the Sulibans, may be revealed soon. 'In any case, this is not something fans will have to wait for until the end of the season', said Braga. 'We thought anout revealing it in the Final of shockwave, but it was too soon and the plot would have been altered'. Right now, producers think to reveal it in the next episode about the Temporal War. Speaking of alien species, Braga has declared that the Sulibans finally proved to be interessant. As of the Andorians, we'll surely see soon Jeffrey Combs (Shran). As Andorians are to become Earth Allies, these characters won't disappear. We shall even discover their home world. Finally, the producers would like to introduce the Romulians, but they represent a big historical continuity problem and they don't really know how to include them without having to destroy what we know from the original series (first contact in the 23rd century). They will come, but not now. For the moment, Romulians are anyway a priority of the movie (Startrek Nemesis, #10, coming in December 2002). 'The creation of the Federation will really become an important subject in the serie', promised Braga. 'But it will need time, sweat, conflicts, and major interstellar events to reach it. These are elements that will be developped during this season. It's something we don't want to go into too fast. Right now, we have just said 'Hello' [to other species]. However, we shall begin to enter more inside the subject next year.'
