More Enterprise Rumblings

From the Cinescape website comes this rumor that Paramount execs have taken note of the fan and media dissatisfaction with Star Trek: Enterprise and that producer Rick Berman's head may be on the block, along with some senior show staff. 'Bout damn time, if you ask me.

Of course, this is all rumor, but it fits with other rumors I've seen around the 'Net. You look at the recent "we pass on commenting at this time" remarks of the CBS and UPN chiefs about the show, and it makes sense. It's the kind of carefully diplomatic warning you give someone when you are dissatisfied.

Word is that February sweeps numbers will be scrutinised closely. I'd expect a decision by late Spring, after season production wraps, and not before. That way they don't kill the show's meager performance before the season's over and fan buzz will turn to future speculation not to post-mortem.

But again, we'll see....
