Star Trek: Enterprise will enter the world of syndication in the United States commencing the weekend of September 17, 2005.

With the majority of the country already committed — virtually every major media market — Enterprise will get a strong second wind in syndication following its run on UPN. (After June 12, there are no more scheduled broadcasts on the netlet.) In syndication, one episode per weekend will air, with individual affiliates determining the day and time, either Saturday and/or Sunday.

The first scheduled episode to air will be the pilot, "Broken Bow," with the remaining schedule to be confirmed. STARTREK.COM will publish a more complete episode list once we have it.

Patrick Stewart in Fine Fettle

Patrick Stewart ("Jean-Luc Picard"), recently reported to have been admitted to hospital for chest pains, has confirmed that he's never felt better and that the tabloids may have, in typical fashion, hyped things up just a bit.

We are very happy to hear that Patrick is feeling fine and wish him continued great health. Patrick is slated to continue his role as Professor Xavier in the third film for the X-Men franchise, to be released sometime in 2006.
