   Exactly right. The meager fan base Enterprise has now are not genuine Trek   
   fans.   
   Most of those have stopped caring about this Trekmare called Enterprise.

   Shat has never seen Enterprise but I'm sure lots of his people who have are   
   probably telling him it isn't worth saving.   
   They are correct.   
   After the dreck they opened the season with I doubt many real fans will even   
   return to see Spiner. It's a shame.
