First of All, I like Enterprise the way it is, but it can be improved with some of the following additions/changes.

1) Show Enterprise on Saturdays instead of Wednesday - I was in Michigan this spring, where the UPN station was playing Red Wing Playoff Games and Tiger games, they bumped Enterprise to Saturday at 8pm. It was awesome, it did not compete against any strong shows (I mean are there any shows worth watching on Saturday right now.... NO, just movies that are edited and stupid.). TNG did great because most stations that played it played it on Saturday, DS9 was also on Saturdays for the longest time, then many stations moved it to Wednesday to keep with Voyager, but in Seattle I could either watch both on Wednesday (UPN and an Independent station north of Seattle (Which actually played Both)) or on Saturday (UPN repeat and Fox). It was perfect.

2) Move Enterprise to CBS - Why is the "Pride and Joy" of Paramount/Viacom on an Owned network that isn't even in every US Market? CBS has more respect, and a wider reach, and would garner more attention to the Series.

3) Do instant Syndication - Like many newer shows/networks, Enterprise should be shown on a broadcast network early in the week, and for the next week you could pick it up on different cable stations. (Law and Order (the good 3) all do this, CI and SVU are on USA the week after they were on NBC, and TOS is on TNT the week after being on NBC). SpikeTV or USA would make viable Cable Affilates for such a program.

4) Add More Recurring Characters - There was the female non-com who was attracted to Phlox... What ever happened. Why is it we hear about these people but never see them, or see them once but then never see them again?

5) Make the Show more careful - Make these characters a little more apprehensious about exploring planets or making First contact.

6) Show more foundations for future technology - Show Reed developing different defense stragities, more versions of tactical alert (Like Yellow, Red, Blue). Or like earlier, the development of forcefields, anti-grav equipment, improvements to Transporters, even going so far as to design and build shuttle craft instead of shuttle pods. Also, inspections pods could be deployed as feelers when sensors go down (They'd act like the probes used by Seaquest and Andromeda.)

7) Have more Story Arcs - Like the episodes that lead upto "Dead Stop" but contuning. An idea is for there to be a disruption in plasma conduits or something where several people die, Trip or Reed is injured (With burn on face and hands) and last for many episodes (Or over several seasons) until a kind alien group offer assistance and medical knowledge that accelerates cell regenerations and reversing most of the injuries, and they "donate" equipment to prevent such a disaster from happenin, like a new metalic substance (Tritanium or Dutanium). Also, an episode where we see use of VTDs (Vaccum Tight Doors) in action.

8) Use more unique sections of the ship - Like deck 15 on Voyager, there have to be areas of Enterprise where the walls aren't straight, the celing is lower, and there are more bulkheads, and even nee knockers. More inner workings of the ship, and ODN/EPS locations.

Thats my Ideas... What are Yours? or What do you think?
