Looks like Enterprise may not last beyond the 100 episode contract.So they may try to stretch it out too 7 seasons with only 100 episode limit.
Which means shorter seasons.
Given that they'll be at 74 at the end of the third season this year, no, I somehow doubt that they'll have four seasons after this averaging six or seven episodes...
Thats a good point, Many trek fansites think that after season 4 its over.
This season was sopposed to have 26 episodes but will only have 24 as 2 were pushed to next season.
Lets hope that it doesn't get cancelled. I think that most of the people saying that Enterprise is actually a bad show aren't watching... as I've said it has problems and should be better, but it's hardly bad and shouldn't be cancelled.
Notion of a Romulan war sounds good; but they'd just PC-ify it. 3 people would die, then they'd be pansies and seek out more humane, liberal alternatives. In the future, everyone is a pansy, and humanity is whipped, and unwilling to fight against aliens.

Only true in original! Red shirts are signs of being Number 2 in Next Gen for instance, and he plans to live forever! Can't fault him for that.

If they have a war, they should have huge, Battle of Endor-like battles...with whole fleets lost, and grisly carnage. At Endor, two whole mon cal cruisers were vaporized; thousands died instantaneously... Star Trek needs to catch on. The best/only Star Trek battle is when one Federation ship exchanged pansy phaser salvos with two or three smaller alien ships until one side leaves or pansies out and tries to reason instead of fighting. Psf.

Star Trek's strat is huge super powerful ships to do the fighting instead of smaller weaker ships in large numbers. Also remember that phasers completely outclass lasers, as an episode of Next Gen where the crew actually laughed at a technologically primitive culture's threatening them with lasers. Heck, they were actually just floating along with the guys behind shooting them with the lasers and doing next to no damage. Also remember that even when they were at war with the klingons, their ships were designed first for exploration, then for combat.

DS9 had a massive war with a lot of casualties and some huge fleet battles that went on for a few seasons. Very dark, serious show...

Are you saying that the Entereprise *any of them* could take on an Imperial Star Destroyer, or a Mon Cal MC90 cruiser? Because I greatly doubt it.

well, that's just Star Trek. 'Sides, Star Wars doesn't use lasers, they use blasters and turbolasers.
Heck, they were actually just floating along with the guys behind shooting them with the lasers and doing next to no damage.
Mind you that this is fiction. According to you, even though we already have contemporary lasers that can cut through lead plates, in the future, lasers will be worthless and harmless?

that has nothing to do with them not having huge fleet actions,

And ignore physics too. After all, lightsaber beams stop in midair and the Death Star... those seperate beams that make up the shot all magically meet in a spot in empty space...

Again, they do, which you'd know if you watched the latter few years of DS9.
And DJ, what is this ep you are talking about? Unless you mean they were shooting the Trek ships and doing no damage... because you couldn't shoot someone with a laser and do no harm, not if it was a laser weapon. And Trek people don't wear armor. :)
Oh, and if we're going to get technical, the only reason "phasers" aren't "lasers" is because Gene Roddenberry wanted something different and more futursitic sounding... :)

You have no problem believing in warp speed (though I know the theory is real), but the ability to harness and manipulate light into a saber-form is unacceptable to you. Interesting.
