Could Bakula become some kind of creative guy if the current crop is ousted?

This seems to imply they are willing to try some things before outright cancelling the show and leaving us hanging.

If they'd just give us a good Earth/Romulan War and formation of the Federation arc, that would be enough to satisfy me even if the show doesn't go the full seven seasons.

They need to bring in fresh writing blood.  They are too conservative and predictable in their storytelling and that is the only thing that is wrong with the show.  Glad to see the Captain taking charge and getting things done!

Personally, I'd welcome a move to Friday nights though.  Orlando UPN pre-empts Enterprise quite often to broadcast this boring game with millionares running around bouncing rubber balls and throwing them into hoops.

 Predictable is an under statement i dont believe i have seen a single episode where the story hasent been done before.
 PS could not agree more about that stupid game! what a sorry waste of money.

The real problem with having J'inn involved would be trying to keep the Enterprise from running into an asteroid.

Some of the best TOS episodes were written by sci-fi authors.  I'd like to see more of that...

Write something for TV.    Man, I'd love too.   I have no idea were to start.   It's one of those, you have to know someone kinda things.

What UPN needs to do with Enterprise is swap out Porthos and swap in Triumph the Insult Dog.

http://www.triumphtheinsultcomicdog.com/

That dog could do the weather report on the Xindi homeworld and insult them to death.

Then Triumph could insult all the Star Wars fans in another segment that is followed by some T'Pol dancing in some skanky outfit for the "I Keed" video.  

Or how about we dump the dogs and bring in the frogs.

*grabs cigar*

Karnak the Insult Frog.  

*dreaming of  $$$$$$$*  

Errr........well, maybe not...

Dogs will just have to do.

All you have to do is direct the producers to your squirrel adventure then tell them you'll sue the pants off them if they include any of it in a storyline that you haven't written.
