B-But...The Show Sucked!
Star Trek Fans Protest Cancellation of Series

LOS ANGELES - Star Trek fans from around the world gathered at the gates of Paramount Studios in Hollywood on Friday to protest the impending cancellation of the television series Star Trek: Enterprise.
Carrying signs reading "It's Not Just a Show, It's a Responsibility" and "18 Years of Loyalty and This Is the Thanks I Get?," more than 100 people massed at the gates of Paramount, where Enterprise is produced, to show support for a franchise that has perhaps the most loyal fan base in the world.
None wore costumes, however, in a departure from many gatherings of "Trekkies."
The UPN network said earlier this month it would end Enterprise in May after four seasons on air. But the fans are not letting it go quietly.
Although the original series created by Gene Roddenberry ran only from 1966 to 1969, at least one version of Star Trek has constantly been on air since 1987 - The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and now Enterprise.
Enterprise is tied for 150th place in ratings this season, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Fans are so dedicated that TrekUnited has raised more than $48,000 to give to Paramount to potentially produce a fifth season of the show.
