The sound you hear is every Trek fan beating their head against the wall....

What a load. First of all, to say that Enterprise would have had to be produced on half its current budget to work on cable is either a statement made from ignorance or complete stupidity. There are series on cable NOW that have similar budgets to ENTERPRISE season 4, including GALACTICA. The fact is that Rick Berman didn't want to go back to producing a series for cable or syndication because that would be a step backwards - producing two series for a newtwork, even a poor excuse for one like UPN, is where you work hard to get to. Going back is seen like a demotion. Yes, the first run syndication market has changed since TNG & DS9 were on the air but there is still a lot of money to be made in syndication. Just ask Oprah and Dr. Phil.

The "younger skewing cast" really worries me. Rick's great at hitting the latest trends in entertainment about 7 to 10 years too late so we're likely to see something like "Starfleet Acedemy" before it's all said and done. Fortunately, the Rick Berman Contract Countdown continues.....
