   A quick question here - we know the quite a few folks did not like   
   enterprise - fair enough. Why can't it exist in a different continuity   
   than TOS? Maybe it's a better fit with J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie.   
      
   Getting back on topic, SyFy Channel is run by a bunch of idiots who   
   don't like science fiction like Caprica or Stargate Universe. I feel   
   they would have cancelled Star Trek:TOS in its first season if it had   
   aired now. They want horror and wrestling and stupid reality shows like   
   Fear Factor and Scare Tactics and the various paranormal shows.   
      
   SyFy is a cable show. It's not an over the air station and Nielsen   
   ratings should not apply.
