Granted it's a worldwide list and most of the downloaders are in the UK, but it shows that of the people downloading shows, it's up there.

While I will continue to mock this effort, and I believe the gesture is woefully misplaced in more ways than one, I give kudos to people willing to go to such lengths for a show they love.

The Boston Herald reported that cable network Spike TV may be mulling whether to pick up UPN's canceled Star Trek: Enterprise. "It would definitely be something we would look at, and we know how devoted the show's fans are," Spike TV spokeswoman Debra Fazio told the newspaper.
UPN has said the current fourth season will be Enterprise's last, with the series finale set to air in May. Production on the final episode was expected to wrap this month. A UPN spokesperson told the Herald that the network's decision to cancel Enterprise is final, and no other network has come forward with an offer to pick the show up.
But fans have been vocal about lobbying for someone to pick the show up for a fifth season, and have even raised funds to pay for it themselves, claiming more than $3 million in pledges toward an estimated $36 million goal.
Spike TV already holds the rights to reruns of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Yeah, that'll happen.

Damn, that would be sweet. If Spike could even pull the numbers that UPN did, that would be great for them. I'm sure the production costs would have to be cut significant.

Another interesting comment:
I've read quite a few things about the finale and not a single one has been positive. I posted a while back that a B&B script as the last new Trek I'd see would be just about the last thing I wanted to be left with. I'm beginning to think my fear was correct.

Identifying herself as a fan of the original series, Blalock said that doing scripts that make so many references to the original series has been a "a treat, a joy to do" this season. "It was an unexpected surprise to have the scripts that we did...it was fun to come to work again." However, asked about the series finale, written by longtime executive producers Rick Berman & Brannon Braga, Blalock said, "I don't know where to begin with that one...the final episode is...appalling."

SFX's longtime source Trekspy is out of a job at Paramount after leaking news to the magazine for many years. He said that he was unable to sneak away with any souvenirs from Enterprise, since "they've actually brought in cameras to watch everything...nothing's too small." All set pieces and props are being stored, he said, adding, "There's a rumor that things might go up to Vancouver." He believed that if the right deal was offered, another season might film in Canada.
For a series that is supposed to be done, it sure doesn't act that way.

[humor]maybe it's some HUGE PR stunt to get everyone all up in arms about it being cancelled, get people to watch it, then the "huge" outpouring of support for the show not to be cancelled, then say they've changed their minds and it's not cancelled anymore[/end humor]
they could be hoping to air it on another channel, but that seems really unlikely as of this point..
Is it just be cheaper to save the set and ship it to Canada than build a new one?
They figure they'll store it for a couple years and then do whatever with it whenever they figure out what they're going to do..
I'm out of ideas..
