It probably won't return at all to the screen but I'd like Paramount to bring it back and give us like 3 or 4 more seasons and bring in new and good writers and producers- focus on the birth of the federation and the earth- romulan war and make it like DS9

Never gonna happen. That ship has sailed. But I do love that the story continues, and well in the novels.

It'll never return, but if TPTB were to bring it back, it would have to be as a TV movie or mini-series, especially as long as Scott Bakula is on another TV show.

Unfortunately I don't think we are going to see the whole cast together agains. I think we will see some characters on screen or at least mentioned in new movies though. Tpol could still be alive, right?

While I like the idea of a TV-Movie or even returning the series to the air, it really is not realistic.  From what I have seen Enterprise has increased in popularity some since its cancelation, but not enough.

SCFI is the most difficult genera to produce on TV due to the cost of production, especially space based SCFI.  TPTB need to feel that they will make a substantial profit to take the financial risk, it is one reason you really see very little true SCFI on TV anymore.

As for the actors, I really do not see that being the big issue, while many of them are working, most from what I have seen do not have steady work.  But it still is highly unlikely the show will ever return, which is a shame, since there are so many stories left untold.  Plus they could fix that crap final maybe.

Hopefully the novels are doing well enough that they continue to write more of them in the future.

I wonder if their should be a sticky thread about will Enterprise be back? Then the topic say Enterprise wont be back in any form. If anything a RW movie might be done and some of the Enterprise cast could have a cameo but it would be with an all new cast if that ever happened.

me too, but often in the world of Tv and movies there is a statute of limitation.  After a certain time has passed no one cares anymore.  Even the writers move on, and many times they don't have an interest in the characters.  Examples:  Queen Elizabeth I loved Shakespeare's character Fahlstaff in King Henry IV parts 1n2.  She pretty much ordered Shakespeare to write another play with him in it.  So out comes The Merry Wives of Windsor considered one of his worst plays.

Chris Carter, a genius writer and creator of the X-files and Millennium.  Fans wanted a movie.  8 years later they got it and were then disappointed because it wasn't what they wanted.

Rawling is done with Harry Potter and has bought a huge mansion because of it and is now working to create new stories.

The point is that all stories have and end, and it isn't always good to make sequels.  Enterprise should be left alone because any Tv movie that came out would have to either ignore Tatv or follow it.  And for those people who just want an Enterprise movie to make a Romulan War story, get over it.

Realism tells us that the only way the story of the NX-01 crew continues is in novels, but we all know deep down inside that it should come back to the small screen, in some form or another, to tie up the loose ends.

I don't think that's going to happen. However, I loved the book and think it would make a great mini series when it's all complete (but that isn't going to happen either).

Seems like all the BEST Sci-Fi shows ultimately leave us wanting more...TOS being the grand-daddy of all premature cancellations! It IS a factor that SciFi is expensive to produce, but just once I'd like to see TPTB take their cue from TOS and realize that the "arc of success" of a good SciFi series is very different than that of "regular" TV. You DO need a broader view.

Alien Nation may be the one "success" story, in that the fans demanded, and got, what? FIVE TV-movies out of it after a premature cancellation. But that's if you can call it a success at all, having been cancelled after one year.

See? it could be worse. :O :D

You could also list Firefly in this category.  They actually made a theater release for that show.

Which, of course, they did with TOS...but it could've been otherwise.

Tell that to some of the people over at TrekUnited they still have a SaveEnterprise campaign site going and are still discussing how to bring it back. :laugh:

I even saw that their is now a Save Eastwick campaign. That show has been cancelled.

Yeh and that did crappy at the box office. I think the studio caved because of Whedon's constant complaining about Fox cancelling Firefly.
