Trek United -- Final
I had to dig thru a lot to find this, but this appears to be the salient paragraph
Our final proposal was knocked down by Paramount. We will not see a season five for Star Trek Enterprise. All money as I stated earlier will be refunded starting Monday or Tuesday of this week.

Quotes -- from the Finale Party
"I've had a great time," said series star Scott Bakula. "I felt like we did some great shows. We had four great seasons, and I know we got better every year. I'm proud of the work we've done. You know, I'm sad to say goodbye to everybody, all these great, talented people, but we had a ball together." Except for a benefit stage performance on May 20 (related story), Scott has nothing specific on the horizon, acting-wise. "Not doing anything right now. Just trying to finish the remodel of my house!"

That's Enterprise
Published: April 10, 2005
Tim Brazeal has a dream: to raise enough money from fans to subsidize a fifth season of "Star Trek: Enterprise" (with Scott Bakula), currently scheduled to end on May 13. Mr. Brazeal, who lives in Marysville, Tenn., also has a number: $3,139,035.50. That's the amount that he said had been donated or pledged to his campaign, by more than 8,500 donors, by early last week. And he hinted that by this weekend, if a few anticipated pledges came through, "that figure will look small."
There have been grass-roots fund-raising campaigns for TV shows before; fans of the British soap "EastEnders" recently kept it on Channel 21 in New York by raising $33,692. But Mr. Brazeal and his staff of volunteers, which he says numbers about 50, are working on a different scale: the goal of their campaign, carried out at www.saveenterprise.com and www.trekunited.com, is $32 million. Enough to, say, buy network air time for 23 new episodes at $1.6 million each. Mr. Brazeal said he had had talks with representatives of Spike, TNT, the WB and others, but couldn't give out any names: "You can talk to a lot of different people and you can't say you've talked to anybody. I don't understand that part of the business."

And, oh yeah, for you fence-sitters, Scott and Chelsea *will* be doing a meet and greet, although it may be different from the one we've had for the past two years, since they are the entire show themselves. Last two years were fortunate enough to get a sit-down Q&A session with Scott. My guess is that after two hours of performing, just the two of them, this might be more along the lines of the Love Letters reception. That's just a guess, but it makes the most sense to me. For those who are interested, I still have the Love Letters section up on this site. It includes local area info (some for Glendale but some for LA in general) as well as reports from attendees who were nice enough to let me archive them.

Spoiler Free Last Day of Production Report
"The final day of principal photography on 'These Are the Voyages...' - this past Tuesday - was similar in spirit to that of the DEEP SPACE NINE finale 'What You Leave Behind,' in that a large crowd scene for late in the episode consisted almost entirely of behind-the-scenes crew people, production and creative staff, and other special guests to the set. Without giving away specific story points, there is an Auditorium filled with a large crowd (most of which will be computer generated) that includes a 'VIP Section.'"

The section includes several cameos by behind the scenes personnel including Manny Coto, Andre Bormanis, and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. As each of the regular cast wrapped their work and were excused from the set for one last time, emotion ran high and star Scott Bakula too the opportunity to address the assembled crew.
"In particular, he thanked the crew members who had been working on STAR TREK for 18 years since the beginning of NEXT GENERATION, for making him and his castmates feel so welcome during the four years of this show's run. And he got emotional as he reminded everyone to 'remember the people we lost' (without naming names, he was apparently referring to assistant director Jerry Fleck and 'Ensign Cutler' actress Kellie Waymire, who each died before their time)."

Press Release -- Enterprise Project NY Rally
For Immediate Release
ENTERPRISE Project and friends rally for Star Trek: Enterprise in New York
Despite threats of snow and sleet, Enterprise Project members and friends
from along the East Coast from Boston to Washinton, and some Trek fans
from Europe, joined in New York on February 21 to demand a continuation of
Enterprise.
Project members carried signs to the CBS Early Show. Although they were
not on camera, Trek fans stayed after the main public events had ended,
until after 9 am. Anchor Harry Smith came out to speak with fans, and
allowed fans to photograph him with a sign reading "Save Star
Trek:Enterprise". Mr. Smith has previously interviewed Scott Bakula, star
of Enterprise, about the show.
At Viacom, on Broadway, a larger group gathered with signs and with the
Enterprise Project banner. Fans spoke to a large number of passers-by,
who also had the opportunity to sign petitions. A petition with nearly 40
pages of signatures was presented to Viacom asking Viacom to continue with
production of "Star Trek: Enterprise". Viacom is the parent corporation
of Enterprise producer Paramount Pictures, as well as of UPN, which
recently cancelled Enterprise.
A second equally large petition was carried to SciFi Channel, owned by NBC
Universal, asking SciFi to consider picking up Enterprise for a fifth
season. Fans carried signs along Sixth Avenue urging SciFi to broadcast
Enterprise, and passers-by stopped to sign the petition. Some Rockefeller
Center employee fans of Enterprise also stopped to speak with the fans.

ENTERPRISE Project Brings Fan Demonstrations to New York
On Monday, February 21, on the heels of a successful trip to UPN and Paramount, Enterprise
Project will arrive in New York to blitz the East Coast media market to
keep the NX-01 flying. All interested Enterprise and other Trek fans are
invited to join us on Presidents' Day for this sweep.
At 8:00 am, fans will gather in front of CBS while its morning show is
being aired. Les Moonves is president of CBS, and his wife Julie Chen is
host of "The Early Show". The new Enterprise Project banner first seen in
Los Angeles will be outside with the public trying to be seen in the
outdoor crowd for the show.
At noon, fans will gather at Viacom, 1515 Broadway, to let Viacom, the
parent company of Paramount, CBS, and UPN, know that viewers still want
Paramount to produce Star Trek, and that they want either first-run
syndication or cable broadcasting for the series.
At 3:00 pm, fans will gather outside the headquarters of SciFi Channel to
show their support for the idea of SciFi Channel picking up the series.
Fans attending the events are encouraged to bring signs with them if
possible to show their support of continued televised Trek.

Enterprise Fans Project -- Goal REACHED -- Will run FULL PAGE Ad in LA Times!!
Organizers of the Ad campaign to support Enterprise were interviewed on
I-Sci-Fi.com tonight, 2/10/05, along with Jack Donner, Larry Nemecek and
**Vaughan Armstrong**. Rex and company were so kind to do a "radio-thon"
to help Enterprisefans.com reach our goal for the ad in support of
Enterprise. Below is a message from Tim - which has been posted on
http://www.enterprisefans.com - to let you know the outcome of the
I-Sci-Fi radio-thon!
WE HAVE MET OUR GOAL ! Three DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!
Thanks Clive and ALL the other fans who have contributed so generously and
supported this ad.
Instead of running the USA Today ad. We have had someone from the L.A.
Times that happens to be a Star Trek Enterprise fan. He worked out a
Special deal for us for a FULL PAGE ad in the Los Angeles Times in the A
section of the paper.
We are working on the ad as we speak. ...SNIP... The revised full-page ad
will be posted on the website soon, and the ad will appear in the February
21 edition of the paper.
This is simply amazing to say the least.. This ad normally costs $35,000
dollars!
Our sincere thanks to Rex, Carl and everyone in the I-Sci-Fi studio for
making this audio-thon possible, to everyone who contributed to support
the ad and Enterprise and to the gentleman who arranged for such a
generous discount!
GO ENTERPRISE!!! Tell Mr. Moonves that Enterprise doesn't need a rest -
and that fans have not lost interest. Tell him the show just needs a
decent amount of support from its network! Keep writing those letters
folks.
N.B any funds collected in excess of cost will be donated to tsunami

MJ's Marching Orders and Reminder
For those of you who haven't seen me for a few days, especially those who
were lamenting --
The fight for Trek is not on this list. The fight is Out There, with Them
(Viacom and co.).
I've been finalizing trip details, preparing hard copy press packets,
setting up a laptop to take with my digital camera for photos of all of
this...
... checking with contacts who have been asking me to email them
what's been going on over here so they can let their people know, and so
the cast can know...
... hustling petition signatures...
... setting up to hustle at Farpoint, a con starting the day I get
back from LA...
... calling certain people's agents about some things...
... collecting props, handouts, etc for the press events at P-mount
and UPN...
and little things like reminding you that the whole world needs to
email david_stapf (no space) @ (no space) paramount.com early and
often...
I'm too busy to worry about what will happen -- I have to do some
making it happen. And you should be doing the same thing -- don't
agonize, ORGANIZE.
Organize your notes to remember to write, call, email every day.
Organize your friends to do the same.
Organize OFF LINE -- the fans not on line are the BULK of fandom.
Organize at events -- get to a con, talk, get signatures, ask us in
advance for our trademark trading cards.
Don't cry for ENT or for Trek -- fight for it. Talk less, cry less, do
more. That's what will let Paramount know that ten years down the road is
NOT what Trek fans are looking for.

ALSO -- for those able to attend the events and who have time a bit later,
there will be a working lunch to discuss further action. I'm asking

Rick Berman Clarification
from MJ:
Read the piece carefully.
First off -- they're still holding out hope for UPN. For whatever
reason, they're holding out hope.
Second -- I was told, maybe I wasn't clear -- that shopping it was in
P-mount's mind far secondary to getting UPN back (can't do Trek cheap
enough for most cable). So, while it's an option, it's a secondary
one, one that has production biting its nails on how they'd do it,
and one that Paramount (TPTB OVER production) is not thrilled by.
They'd be happy if UPN and Les just acknowledged either a horrid
mistake or a desperate ploy for ratings. And they don't wanna do
half-cost Trek from what they've already cut to because NOW they'd
have to actually cut corners to cut costs -- ouch.
Shopping for a market is what Paramount might do only if UPN doesn't
come through.
As for the "maybe a break" bit -- IF Trek's off the air for a while,
I'm sure Berman would appreciate remaining at Paramount and
collecting a salary -- who wouldn't. If that's the official line
from them, he needs to be ready to toe it. Which doesn't mean that
he necessarily likes it -- or that we need to buy it.
[and in a later email from MJ]
He has to toe a party line... and Paramount's never officially
sanctioned ANY fan group activity for any Trek series, so...
MJ
Back to me (Pam)
The USAToday ad campaign is going forward as well (please note that the amount listed on the page -- $14,700 -- should be $14,994, I believe). The text will be altered to fit the changed circumstances, and if I can get hold of that, I will post it.
I remember all the doomed fan campaigns to save shows over the years, but with all (very much) due respect to my hero, Joss Whedon -- this is not Angel, it's not even Quantum Leap; This is STAR TREK. And we CAN do this.
UPN is not accepting any phone calls on Enterprise's behalf. So get out your pens and write. And if you hate Berman and Braga -- do it for Manny Coto and do it for Scott. The writing on this show this year was just too good to let it die now.
Friday, February 4, 2005 - 01:06 p.m.
Letters to the Cast and Crew -- A note from Nancy
If you are interested in sending a message/letter to the cast, crew, and/or
production staff of Star Trek: Enterprise to let them know how much you have
appreciated the show and their hard work, please email it to me.
I will put each "letter" in a plastic sleeve in a 3 ring binder.
I will see to it that the notebook(s) get to the people at Enterprise
through existing contacts I have worked with on other projects.
My email address is:
bunnymit@sover.net
Those of you with web sites of your own or who belong to other Scott or
Enterprise groups, please cross post this so we have a good turnout of
messages to Enterprise' creators.
I'd be glad to hear any comments or suggestions to improve or facilitate the notebook. thanks.

To Do -- MJ's Call to Rick Berman'sOffice I just got off the phone with Rick Berman's office regarding the
cancellation.
Rick sends us the following message about keeing ENT in production:
Filming ends beginning of March, but sets will be up until end of
March for reshoots and such -- so hitting now, and hitting hard,
IMMEDIATELY, is the way to go.
What the production office would like to see is this:
1) A gangup on UPN. Paramount's floored that UPN's trying to duck
calls and they're certain UPN knew the calling was going to happen.
2) Approach Paramount TV on the idea that if UPN doesn't reconsider, the
show MUST be shopped out for syndication or cable promptly.
3) Do it NOW.
4) When I mentioned the UPN business and suggested the Viacom calls
instead of or as well, let's just say I didn't hear any rebuttal.
I know, I know, we all hate UPN at this point, but UPN can afford
full production costs for the show. Half-price Trek means the good
old days of TOS mis-sliding doors, the boom mike shadows, and all
that other stuff we don't want to see in new productions, along with fewer
guests and plenty less great Trek SFX. (Maybe fewer sets. Captain, the
Klingons have invaded the Mess Hall again... just like the Tellarites did
last episode...)
The planned events at UPN and Viacom fill the production offices with
cheer. Anyone who can make them or knows anyone who can make them, be
there or tell your friends to make it over there.
But -- be sure to let Paramount TV proper know the money's there from
happy fans if the show is ANYWHERE.
And SEND those Valentines if you haven't -- give 'em some more love
notes.
MJ

OVERALL PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Feb. 3, 2005
Contact: MJ Rogers, mjr91@aol.com
"ENTERPRISE PROJECT" FANS VOW NOT TO GIVE UP FIGHT
According to MJ Rogers, founder of The Enterprise Project
(www.enterpriseproject.org), fans of Paramount's "Star Trek:
Enterprise" have not given up the fight to save the show despite the
announcements of the series' cancellation after its fourth season.
"The fans are angry, and they're willing to fight for the show," she
explained.
Fan actions planned include a newspaper advertisement (information at
www.enterprisefans.org), actions on February 10, 2005 at Paramount and
UPN, the network broadcasting "Enterprise," which issued the cancellation
notice, and a planned action in New York later in the month.
Additionally, Enterprise Project fans are circulating a cyberpetition to
be presented to Paramount, UPN, and their parent corporation, Viacom.
Announcements and actions are also planned at upcoming science fiction
conventions around the country, by both Enterprise Project and fellow fan
organization Save Enterprise.
"UPN's Friday night ratings have been up substantially this season
thanks to 'Enterprise,' Rogers indicated. "They're no longer
consistently at the bottom of the ratings, they've primarily been in
fourth place, which is as high as can reasonably be expected against NBC,
CBS and ABC. And the cancellation announcement came in before the
February sweeps month episodes aired – which may have a negative effect on
the show's ratings on its own. People often avoid shows with death
sentences already hanging over them. It makes little sense for UPN to
make the cancellation announcement this early when February ratings are
crucial for ad revenues.
"UPN and Paramount can expect to be hearing from the fans – many of
whom would like to see the show go into first run syndication now
that the prior seasons are being syndicated. Cable is also a great
option for science fiction television these days. But fans won't
take this cancellation lying down."
Science fiction fans wishing to support the series are urged to write to
Paramount, and those wishing to sign the Paramount, UPN and Viacom
petitions are encouraged to send their names and addresses to
ENTPetitions@aol.com for addition to the petitions.

"ENTERPRISE PROJECT" TO ADDRESS UPN, PARAMOUNT RE CANCELLATION
Enterprise Project founder MJ Rogers and other members of Enterprise
Project will be in Los Angeles on February 10, 2005 to visit Paramount and
UPN with press statements and with viewer petitions on behalf of "Star
Trek: Enterprise". A second event in New York will occur later in the
month.
The visit to Paramount is currently scheduled for 8:00 am, and the
visit to UPN at 9:00 am.
All Enterprise fans available are invited to be present for both
events, meeting across from both sites on that day.
Additionally, Bonita Fredericy, wife of Enterprise actor John
Billingsley ("Phlox"), will be performing in "The Orange Grove" (an
adaptation of Anton Checkov's "The Cherry Orchard") in the Los
Angeles area that evening. Plans are being made for Enterprise fans to
attend the play in the evening.
An additional event is planned for the week of February 21, 2005 in
New York at Viacom headquarters. More information will be available
later.
Fans who wish to sign petitions, and any who may be able to attend
either the Los Angeles or New York event, are asked to email
ENTPetitions@aol.com. To sign the petitions, fans are asked to send their
names (real names, please) and home towns to the above address.

Therefore -- Star Trek preservation groups are banding together, as they see the seriousness here -- to mount a massive campaign to get Enterprise viewers (and not just ones who are online, we need all Enterprise viewers) to make a stand for the show.
Let's not be like the Angel fans who waited till they got the word on cancellation -- we may not hear from the network till after the sets are struck and the actors are released from contracts. And then it will just be too late.

Joint Fan Campaign to Promote Star Trek: Enterprise
January 21,2005
Becoming proactive is the name of the game in spreading good vibes from viewers about Star Trek: Enterprise’s highly-praised fourth season, so Save Enterprise and The Enterprise Project are joining forces under the banner, "Enterprisefans.com," in order to do just that. The collective group plans to raise the funds needed to publish an ad for Enterprise in USA Today during February sweeps.
The campaign hopes to raise $14,994 and will accept contributions until February 14, 2005 for publication of the ad in the Friday, February 18, 2005, national run edition of USA Today. In terms that call attention to the outstanding quality of Enterprise, the ad will urge television viewers to check out this fifth Star Trek series for themselves and invite them to cut out and sign a declaration of support for the show. The signed statements are destined for Leslie Moonves, Co-President and Co-COO of Viacom, Inc., Chairman and CEO of CBS, and will plead the case for continuing to air Enterprise at least through a fifth season.
All fans of first rate science fiction and drama will want to help in this effort to save the series from untimely cancellation and are encouraged to visit www.enterprisefans.com to find out more about the campaign. Donations can be made via PayPal (preferred method) but the site also includes a link for instructions to send contributions by mail. Funds collected in excess of cost will be donated through one of the recognized international relief organizations to aid the people of South Asia impacted by the recent tsunami.
In the event that the campaign does not reach the monetary goal required to publish the USA Today ad, project leaders will substitute a less costly means of promoting Enterprise and will post alternate plans on the site

NEWS -- Moonves, Scott talk possibility of cancellation to TCA Press Tour
Moonves: A Break Good For Trek?
Leslie Moonves—co-president and co-chief operating officer of Viacom, the parent company of CBS, UPN and Paramount—told SCI FI Wire that it may be time for Star Trek to take a break, though he added that no decision has been made on the future of UPN's ratings-challenged Star Trek: Enterprise. Speaking in an interview at the CBS/UPN winter press tour in West Hollywood, Calif., Moonves said: "It's hard to say right now. The ratings aren't great. It may be a franchise that should be rested a year or two. I know the diehards are not in favor of that, but I think if we rested a year or two, it might be a better thing. But we'll see what happens the rest of the year."
Persistent rumors say the show is on its last legs, that UPN has cut its season order from Paramount, which produces the show, and that star Scott Bakula (Capt. Jonathan Archer) is ready to quit. All untrue, cast members told SCI FI Wire. "I'll be disappointed if we wrap up this year," Bakula said in a separate interview. "I'd hate to see it end this year. … We're waiting to hear. It's a funny place to be in. I love the crew. I love the cast. The work situation has been tremendous. We're doing creative work, still, I think. And I know we have a lot of fans out there. So … as a television gig would go, it's a great, wonderful gig. And I'm loving it. So I will be disappointed. But we'll see. It ain't over until it's over."
Bakula and other cast members told SCI FI Wire that they expect, if UPN decides to cancel the show, the network will give producers enough notice so that they can write a finale to the series. But as the writers are currently writing the 21st of 22 season episodes now, that notice would have to come in short order. "We've got to know soon," Bakula said. "So I don't know. They're not under any obligation to let us know. They can do whatever they want to do, and they may. … We don't call those shots."
Even so, Bakula said, "The indication was [and] has been often that this would be our last season. But then … we were told we were going to get an early indication of that so we could wrap the show up in a nice way. And here we are, it's the end of January, and I know that they've broken stories through the 21st [episode]." Enterprise wraps production in March; an announcement about cancellation could be delayed as late as May.
Moonves said that a final decision will depend on how Enterprise performs in the ratings for the rest of the season, which will include new episodes exploring the "mirror universe" introduced in the original Star Trek series and a two-episode arc explaining why Klingons went from smooth foreheads to bumpy ones. How well would the show have to perform to be renewed? "I don't make predictions on what level," Moonves said. "It depends on what development is and what the rest of the schedule is like." But, he added, "I think the show this year has been much better [creatively] than last year. I like the changes that have been made. ... [As for the ratings,] when you're dealing with UPN, you're dealing with different expectation levels." Star Trek: Enterprise airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

A little bit more
For some reason, while apologizing to Jay (and everyone else), they are still upholding the integrity of their sources.
Sounds like they speak out of both sides of their mouth -- but that's just me. For me, Jay's credibility is established; theirs is only taking a worse beating than it already had.
If this is the approach they choose to take, I'd wish them luck -- but that would be hypocritical of me.
Anyway, back to Enterprise save-age. Enterprise Project should have a new campaign coming up soon and in the meantime --
If your area does not show UPN in its official timeslot, you aren't being counted. Period. Neilsen only counts rating for the official Friday night time slot. They do not handicap for preemptions. This problem will increase in the spring when Baseball hits the affiliates in NY, Boston, and LA - major markets both locally and for people who only get Enterprise via DishNetwork. Send a postcard to UPN/Paramount and let them know that you don't appreciate this disenfranchisement and that you want to be counted -- every time it happpens. If you have friends who would watch the show Friday if it were on, let them know too.

There have been a lot of rumors (or unconfirmed but true reports) that the Enterprise DVDs will start to be released next year (starting in May, I believe). TVShowsonDVD.com is a great source for these "rumors" (look for the most recent one). They are saying that pretty much all of the series will be released next year. (and they can also tell all you "Scrubs" fans how to "call Turk" :-)
And of course, many sources still say that this year will be the last season of Enterprise. If you would like to take part in making sure that will *not* happen, hop on over to EnterpriseProject.org and get involved.

The cards we sent last year were greatly appreciated.

this doesn't mean the show won't still run new first run eps.. necessarily... and I hear DVDs are coming as well.
If the show can hold out another season, this could be "a good thing" as we all know it's much easier to addict new viewers with 5 days a week airings. At least it always works for me.

Behind the Scenes with Scott, and other news
Anyway, now that that, and the Life and Style interview is over, I should note that there was a lot of press coverage for Brent Spiner's arc on Enterprise. All of it was print, and you can find a batch of it at TrekToday or Google News. The articles where Scott was quoted, I tried to post here.
And finally (for now) a major goodie:
This is thanks to Moonbeam who posted in on the Logical Choice Forum and if is from the US edition of Dreamwatch.
Writing now a few days later; same episode and I just finished shooting a scene with Scott B. I can't say enough good things about that guy. It's frustrating, actually, when I try to talk about him, 'cuz I can't help feeling that it's going to be read as the kind of empty puffery that all actors habitually engage in (yes you were mahhhvellous dahling). But in fact, I couldn't be more sincere: I think Scott is the most gracious, warm-hearted and generous person I have ever met in this business. I am constantly reminded of this when we work together, and I bring it up now because we just had a scene together that was a touch difficult for both of us and he was, as always, seemingly more concerned about my welfare ( as the other actor) than he was his own.
This scene was a late-night mess hall scene, one of the scenes which I tend to think of as "Uh-oh scenes'. 'Uh-oh scenes' are occasionally forced up us at the last minute because everybody realizes 'Uh-oh" this episode’s going to be short by about a minute an a half.' These scenes, hastily written and shoehorned uncomfortably into a pre-existing script, frequently feel gratuitous and are occasionally embarrassing. Not only do we, as actors, have a slippery grasp of our lines, (these scenes are often delivered to us without much advance warning; it's nobody's fault. I'm not pointing fingers in any way, shape, manner or form -- it's simply the nature of the business we're in) but because they are shot after the bulk of an episode has been finished, one is frequently thinking, 'Shit, this scene makes some of the choices I made in scenes we've already shot feel wrong now.'
...
Anyway, that's a long, long build-up basically, what I was trying to say was that Scott, such a gentleman, is always keenly sympathetic to the other actor's needs, so when we get to the mess hall scene this morning he intuits that I have concerns of the nature I just expressed about Phlox's behavioral credibility and he immediately approaches me about them. No, I'd already dealt with them by talking to the writers and requesting a few tweaks in the scene, but the point is - YOU CAN COUNT ON THE FINGERS OF ONE HAND the number of times an actor will take time to think about the scene he's doing from the point of view of another actor in the scene, much less approach the other actor to say, "Hey, I'll go in and pitch with you if you want to fight for changes." As I've said, I'd already spoken to the writers, who were (and are) very gracious in their own right, and so his intercession wasn't necessary. But as an example of classy behavior in this business, I just have to say - that is rare, rare thing, but everyday behavior from Scott. This is the man who knows everybody's names, remember birthdays, wives' names, etc. and is never less than good-humored and fun to be around, even after 16-hour days...

So we've become friends, and, you know, it's fun, and it's stunt casting, yes, but it'll be correct. They're very good about making sure [of] that, because, you know, the fans want it to be right, and we want it to be right, so it'll be good."

Here are some pertinent quotes (which I am posting before I even read them myself)
"Seeing that 'previously on ENTERPRISE' clip, which was in our 35mm, and honestly I was nervous about going this way, but as I was watching that I realized that I could not tell. And they were right next to each other. So I stand corrected, and if Rick were here [Rick did not attend the panel], I would stand more corrected."
"I don't have as much time to talk to my kids anymore," Bakula joked about the long waits between takes that have been slimmed down by the new camera. "I think we were all scared at the beginning of the year because we had to get there early and Marvin just yanked the camera out and started shooting... that episode was a seven day shoot and when you think about all the locations and all the intensity and all the prep that went into that, that's a lot of work. We worked hard while we were there, there wasn't much standing around, but at the end of the day the days go faster."
About Brent Spiner:
and there is also this
"I heard a rumor of May 2005, I got the sense that they were wanting to get them out sooner than they had originally planned."

Couldn't figure out quite which category that fell into. Anyway, Emma has created a site with helpful info for Hamilton goes. I'd thought of doing one myself (again) but didn't have the time/was intimidated by the people who didn't want their info copied to another site, so.. anyway, Emma has done a lovely job. Check it out.
Hope to see you there. And if you need any other info/peer pressure to convince you to go/moral support/adoption, feel free to email me. If you have any info to add, email Emma. :-)

Number of tickets, type of tickets (see above), your name, address, and phone number. You can leave your credit card number on their secure line, or you can ask that they call you back to get your credit card info.
Hope to see you there.

Thanks to Barbara, Emma, Helene, and Amy (I think that's everyone) who have been doing some scouting to find the batch of us a place where we could stay together in L.A. They've narrowed down their list of hotels to 2 and are awaiting a reply from the hotel on a discount. If you're coming, and you're looking for a place to stay, all of us would appreciate it if you could patronize whichever place is chosen: they've had to promise a certain amount of bookings (not sure how many) in order to get the discount for everyone (I looked at some hotels for that weekend, and, trust me, few of us could possibly afford them without a discount, plus there was some trouble finding available rooms).
Details are coming soon, as well as, hopefully, info on where to purchase tickets to the show. Apparently it took a very long time to get the rights to the show itself, but that's done now, and I'm told that tickets should be available by the end of the week.
I'll post as soon as I find out. For those in a hurry, just join the crowd waiting at the SBFF.

We still have no news on the ticket for the Hamilton, however we have been assured that the show will take place. I believe that there were issues with the licensing. Have no fear. Scott has committed, so barring major misfortune (death, severe illness, fire, flood, famine, plague, all the usual) the show shall go on, even if it's two hours of him reading the phone book. (I'm kidding about the phone book. He'll definitely be doing *something* on May 20th) Comments?

By now you should have read the piece at scifi.com where Rick Berman says "We will not shop the show to another network" and "We will let it rest." AND you read MJ's post on the marching orders she got from her call to Berman's office.
Are you confused? Yeah, so was I. So I asked for clarification and here it is.
This isn't difficult, folks.
See my clarification post, it's not doublespeak, it's dealing with
the public under Paramount's gaze...

Nancy from Vermont may be going to LA next week and even if she does not, she sent this message to pass on:
I appreciate your help.
I'd like to get them all by February 8th but I am open to suggestions for a different date. This should enable me to get them set and delivered in plenty of time to get to the show and allow them the time to copy any they may choose for individuals who want their own set.

For Immediate Release
MJ has been talking to people at Paramount about shopping the show to another network and, as I recall, the ones mentioned were SciFi and Spike. If I can find the email amidst the deluge in my box, I will verify or correct this.
Please remember last February when Scott said he was hoping that UPN would cancel Enterprise and the show would get picked up by another network (one that might promote it properly). This is no longer the little tv show that a network didn't care about and NBC cancelled in 1969. It's now a cultural phenomenon with fans worldwide and phrases that have invaded our lexicon. Please make your voice heard.

Official UPN Press Release
Sob!

You can find a copy of the ad itself, as well as flyers, which you can print out and distribute yourself (anywhere you can, please) at the bottom of this page at EnterpriseFans.com
There are 11 days remaining to raise the money for the ad.
Do what you can. Remember those 7 and a half years without Scott on TV, waiting for each new project... I just don't want to have to return to that so soon.

It's a 27 minute mp3 file of a phone call between Scott and an astronaut on the Space Station. You can hear it at SaveEnterprise.com

And this year, befitting the So Cal locale, celebrities will join the crowd: Scott Bakula of Star Trek Enterprise, and Oscar winner Halle Berry are scheduled to run (at least part way--at press time, Berry was considering the companion 5K). It would suit race directors just fine if the high-wattage names help the marathon's growth. "I imagine a lot of people would like to follow Halle Berry along the course," says marathon vice president Nick Curl.

I'm going to add just a bit of commentary before the press release.
I'n not sure if I got all of these links posted previously, but Les Moonves has said something along the lines of -- It's time to take a break from Star Trek. He isn't promising the show will return, and, in light of the network's reliance on ratings, which only count if people are watching the show on Fridays, things look grim: John Billingsley recently mentioned putting himself "out there" in terms of making sure people know he may be available for upcoming series, Jolene and Dominic have both been quoted saying this season is the last, and Scott has said they were hoping for the writers to have a chance to write a decent ending if the show is being cancelled -- which he hopes it is not -- although the writers are already into writing for the 21st episode of a 22 episode season.
The #25 listed show among Tivo's season pass customers needs your help. Cause the network won't be looking at that, they will be looking at Nielsen Ratings vs Production Cost. And Nielsen doesn't have a clue.

Jay Schwartz, publicist for Scott Bakula (Captain Jonathan Archer), has denied quotes attributed to him on the Internet this morning saying that the Star Trek: Enterprise star is ready to leave the show at the end of the fourth season.
"It's simply not true, I never said this," he told STARTREK.COM in response to the quote. "People familiar with the way I operate know that this is not how I conduct my business. I would like to nip this in the bud right now."
Here's the link for that one

Apparently, Jay called IESB and attempted to set them straight -- among other comments, which you can find in his statement to them.

A friend of mine spoke with Jay this morning and he told her that
I'm going to quote her (Jo):
he "did not say this." She also told us that he's not happy and "asked me to get the word out that it's not true!"

There's a rumor being reported on the 'net, and, since you're going to hear it anyway, you might just as well hear it here as well.
I cannot vouch for its veracity, its source or anything else, one way or another. The fact that I cannot should not be taken to mean anything at all, considering that I would not impose on people I know to check on the veracity of a rumor like this. If anyone I know who would do such a thing does so, and I can tell you about it, I will.
In the meantime, certain things should be taken into consideration with respect to this rumor, and you will find that discussion on the SBFF (among other places, I am sure). That's where I've posted my feelings on the issue. Comments?

I've seen some searches lately for the weekend airings of Enterprise. Here's a helpful hint (since the local stations tend to bounce the show around and no one has a clue where it is).
check out Titan TV's online listings. If you set it up (put in your zip code and cable or satellite company or straight off the air broadcast) you can search the listings for Enterprise (or Star Trek: Enterprise.. not sure what they are listing it as these days, usually, the fewer words, the better chance of finding it). It should at least, tell you the last place the local channel let someone know they were planning to air it at. You can also check out your local UPN affiliate's web page (check at www.upn.com), if they have one and if they keep it up to date.
Finding Enterprise can be quite an undertaking. Good luck!
Comments?
Since all of us at the SBFF are desperately confused as to UPN's airing schedule for the next several weeks, Emma has tried to clarify (not that she knows any more than the rest of us, she just was trying to make the mud a little clearer ;-) )
Here's her listing, which is, quite likely, correct, if not the least bit logical...
Cold Station 12: December 17th
The Third Part of the Brent Spiner Arc will not be aired (don't ask us, we just play here)
Hiatus: December 24th
Hiatus: December 31st
Daedalus (NEW) January 7th
Observer Effect (NEW) January 14th
Hiatus: January 21st
Babel One (NEW) January 28th
United (NEW) February 4th
The Aenar (NEW) February 11th.

Reports from the fans who were near their TVs today say that the segment on Enterprise did not run. We are hoping that it has been postponed, although we have no concrete reason to believe this is the case.
Those of you who would like to contact the show can email them at talk@gooddaylive.com

Tuesday. Scott will be on Good Day Live (listed as Good Day in titantv.com), which may be syndicated, or possibly is on FOX. Check your listings.

Also, please note that the time (eastern) for Papa's Angels is actually 9pm.
You can get updated, and most-of-the-time correct TV listings for your area at titantv.com as well as Zap2it.com and tvguide.com. TV Guide print edition is suffering from the networks' last minute scheduling changes these days (in my opinion)

Entertainment news show "Extra" co-host Dayna Devon made a cameo appearance in ENT "The Augments", as the bridge Engineer who reports that the Klingon Bird of Prey had a surge in its reactor, before it explodes.
Nov. 12's installment of "Extra" featured a segment with Ms.
Devon on the set of ENT, in Starfleet uniform, where she got a bit of teasing from stars Brent Spiner and Scott Bakula about her acting skills.
You can see screen captures and a complete transcript of the

this is from Nancy Cotter. (thanks Nancy) I added the subheads.
December 1 - 8, 2004
Send a holiday greeting card to the crew and production staff of Star Trek Enterprise. Let them know how much we appreciate their hard work creating the show.
As a fan of Scott Bakula, I know that he appreciates the people behind the scenes. One "gift" we can give him this holiday season is a card sent to thank the production staff and crew.
Cards should be sent so that they arrive between December 1st to 8th so the cards may be enjoyed before the production shuts down for the holidays.
The address is:
Star Trek Enterprise
Paramount Pictures
Room 205 Cooper
5555 Melrose Avenue
Hollywood, CA 90038
Each of us can choose how we communicate our thanks and how we identify ourselves. Some may wish to sign only their name, some may wish to identify themselves as fans of Scott Bakula (or another cast member on the show).

First off, I want to explain why postings have been rather sparse lately
Mainly I've been distracted by the Red Sox winning the World Series!
This is a big deal to me, not because I care at all about sports, but because I've been aware that the Red Sox never win since 1967, when we watched them lose (to the Cardinals) in my third grade classroom. So, to win, and to me, to win against the team who beat us in the only series I ever watched.. well, after it was over, I celebrated by playing that song which was on the posters by the fans: The Impossible Dream. Of course, I played Scott's version :-)
And for those of you who still don't know, Scott is from St. Louis. I hope that I will get a chance to "thank" him in the next year, for his team "letting" us finally win. (Yeah, I know, they really didn't seem to have much control over that.)
John Billingsley did a diary during the taping of CS12 - this coming week's episode - in which, among other things, he gave some insight into working with Scott.
Since the places where the excerpt have been posted will not stay online forever, I'm going to copy it here so it won't disappear entirely.
And btw, if someone could help me find a copy of this issue, I'd really love to buy it.

Along with the rest of the Enterprise cast, for a change, fans will be assembling a holiday gift for Scott.
Please check out the post at the SBFF, including a note from the great folks at Our Little Haven, for the best explanation of the details. Also, if anyone can let me know who is in charge of this project, that would be great.
The project has other facets as well. Fans are able to participate is as few or as many of the facets as they wish. Or none of course..
For myself, I will say that OLH is a charity that spends none of its incoming donations on administrative costs and is also the charity for which Scott and Chelsea performed I Do, I Do, in St Louis in 2002.
More details are in the above-mentioned post

thanks Lisa!Straight from the mouth of Donald P. Bellisario himself in a live chat today [10/5?] (which I knew nothing about )
Harrisburg, Pa.: "Quantum Leap" was one of the greatest shows of all times. I
recall when it was cancelled, someone stating that there is always a possibility
that the show could return someday. I know it has been several years, but is
there still some chance of reviving the show and giving it a second chance?

Paramount invited TrekWeb to a special screening of Storm Front last night. Scott was there. Details are in this article at TrekWeb
"Who?" Bakula joked. "Brent wasn't invited tonight?! Brent is a character, we had a lot of fun. He's a very irreverent soul and sort and whatever scenery -- I don't think there is any scenery left in that episode -- but it was fun!"
Asked about the topic of ENTERPRISE DVD sets, which have been rumored to be in the pipeline, Braga confirmed that he and several others involved in the series had just finished a round of interviews for the bonus features on the sets. He couldn't give a firm date on their release, suggesting perhaps May 2005.

Found this interview at Trek Web. Some of the quotes look familiar, but there are a few I haven't heard before.
My laptop is having some trouble getting TrekWeb to come up lately. Perhaps it's not designed with a PII, 266mhz, with 64mb of RAM... (darn) The whole machine--okay just the browser--stops responding whenever I try to access the site. Sometimes I get in, but I can't scroll. I feel like Al: whacking the handlink to get the rest of the sentence.
That was a different article.. hmm.. the one I was talking about above is really this one.
