I must say that I'm somewhat inclined to agree with those that are saying that Trek needs a breather, not so much in the production of the shows as in those that are making them. I'm hardly ENT's biggest fan by a long shot, but it's still a pity to see it go like this.

As far as the networks are concerned, it seems to be that there are fewer and fewer people at those networks (at least , the ones in the positions that matter) willing to take chances. When the latest incarnation of Trek, a staple franchise of sci-fi for a long time now, is axed like this over ratings, how does that bode for new shows? I'm left feeling distinctly jittery about BSG03 - it seems that being good isn't enough to keep a show on the air anymore (Firefly, anyone?).
