Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? 335

Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that the TrekUnited fan campaign a few weeks ago partnered with a group of Canadian production companies to pitch a co-production deal for 'Star Trek: Enterprise' to Paramount. As part of this deal, production would be moved up to Canada, and TrekUnited and the Canadian group would share the costs of a fifth season with Paramount. Apparently Viacom executives are considering the proposal, despite another branch of Paramount saying the cancellation was final just a few days ago."

Hope it works out! I'm not sure if all those American actors and production teams are used to working in our studio igloos. They'll probably have Enterprise spend lots of time visiting Andoria.

Hahahahaha... *wipes tear* I love Canada.

Of course, if the Left Coast crazies get their way, eventually anything and everything will be the responsibility of the legislature and law enforcement to handle. Right now, this is funny: Dispatcher: Ma'am, we're not gonna go down there and enforce your Western Bacon Cheeseburger. [snopes.com] (Also hit the audio [snopes.com] link.) Twenty years from now it might not be.

One thing I never did understand is why when ever they are talking about distance, they always says kilometers never miles. Is there a reason for this? It is an American show.

To make it sound more technical and futuristic to Americans maybe?

For all of you Star Trek fans, don't worry. Canada's version, Start Trek: Degrassi, will be of excellent production quality. It will offer a moral lesson in every episode. New topics will be introduced that have never been seen before in a Star Trek series, such as teen pregnancy and drug use.

Since it'll air on CBC, profitablity won't be an issue because it is government supported. Best of all, it'll never get cancelled -- no matter how uninterested viewers are!

Let's change the lyrics.

It's been a long episode,
now Trek will dissapear.
It's been a boring episode,
and Trek's time is finally here.

I will learn to turn my TV off at night,
no Star Trek will be why.
No, I'm not gonna see Star Trek no more,
because of this Rick Berman guy.

Cuz I've lost faith in my heart.
Paramount has now forsake' me!
I did choose to believe,
the writers might be better lately.
I have strength, to move on,
to not let Star Trek so sedate me.
I press off on my remote...
I've lost faith,
I've lost faith, faith in my heart!

From what I can remember of the theme song, that seems to match and sum up how I feel about Enterprise. :-)

Sci-Fi set designers and school architects are all Fascists at heart? That's disturbing...

Fascists always have the best art departments, whether they're fictional or not.

I mean, who got the cooler uniforms in the original BSG: the Viper Pilots, or the Space Nazis?

It's the same everywhere. Jedi vs Sith. Autobot vs Decepticon. Hippie vs Grammaton Cleric.

I think that part of the reason the *real* Nazis were able to have such influence over the Germans* are things like Speer and his Cathedral of Light, their military having uniforms that say "I am an evil person, and I will go forth and enjoy doing evil things in style," etc.

The forces of Good need to replace their marketing team =P.

* Yes, I realize their other factors and am ignoring them for the purposes of this non-serious discussion.

I disagree, repeating something does not necessarily make it funnier or truer.
