Failed Enterprise

Lee Goldberg relays word from Variety and Ain't It Cool News that Enterprise has been cancelled after four seasons. While I believed in the concept to begin with, I have to admit its execution has been flawed. By nature, a prequel doesn't have much room for innovations the way TNG, DS9, and Voyager all expanded on the original Star Trek. Combine this with the showrunners' commitment to "what's worked in the past" and you get a recipe for bland TV.

I regret that the scripts didn't allow the actors to stretch. I'm not sorry to see the show go.
