It's amazing...
By CMBat

how people misread stuff. Someone correctly pointed out that UPN was only willing to PAY $800,000 per episode. Nothing in there suggests that the budgets per episode are going to be scaled back as such. I've been saying this all along. Paramount knows several things. It knows that if there is no Star Trek on TV, then the sell less games, action figures, and movie DVDs of Star Trek (not to mention lawsuits about not "promoting" the name enough). It knows that the more shows Enterprise has in the long run (particularly over 100 episodes), the more they can sell the series for in syndication. AND, they know that eventually, they need another movie in some format with some crew or combination of crews. While they think about this, they are better with a show on the air. So while uPn might only have Paramount in the middle and a lot of Viacom in between, this announcement should shock no one, just like the announcement to renew Enterprise was not a shock. It was built-in ALL year. They'll make plenty of money, and I'm actually getting ready to say that Enterprise will run at least six years. Just dare me.
