Scott Bakula is right...
By Schpock

Even beyond Rick Berman, Paramount is the reason why TREK failed. Rick Berman is employed by Paramount, they needed to buy him out of his contract. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Berman, he is not at the top of the food chain here. Paramount couldn't or wouldn't do what was necessary to nurture the show to health. ENT was like the runt of the litter. It needed care and it was thrown in the gutter. ENT should never have been made when it was made.

Paramount is ultimately to blame. All of the other problems the show had beyond that stem from the fact that Paramount was in no position to do anything with ENT when it was being launched. Paramount should have ensured that the stories for ENT were up to par, Paramount should have canned Berman and/or Braga, Paramount should have made sure the show was promoted properly, and even offered it in alternative outlets in places where UPN isn't available.

But the debacle that was Enterprise may have a good side, it helped to define what Star Trek isn't in some of the most detailed voicing of opinions I've ever seen. When Star Trek returns, it will be both familiar and new at the same time. The break from TREK will be beneficial.
