Trivia

The first name of Captain Archer was initially to have been Jeffrey. While the (American) producers of the show didn't see any problems with this name, UK fans pointed out the link to disgraced author, actor, and politician Jeffrey Archer after learning of the name over the Internet. The name was changed to Jackson, but there was exactly one person in the country named Jackson Archer. To avoid lawsuits, Jonathan was chosen for a name, because there were twenty Jonathan Archers.

Goofs

During the first season, Malcolm, (the weapons expert), is giving phase pistol lessons to Hoshi. During the lesson, all Bridge officers are called back to their stations. Hoshi makes a comment, so much for practice, and she hands the phase pistol back to Malcolm, her finger still on the trigger, and the muzzle of the phase pistol aimed directly into Malcolm's chest. No matter the century, or the weapon, this action ranks as the #1 safety violation of handling weapons. It is unlikely that Malcolm, the armory expert, would ignore this safety violation and not immediately reprimand Hoshi.

Crazy Credits

Before the opening credits of the episode "Stigma" (original airdate 5 February 2003) a tribute to the crew of the space shuttle Columbia (deceased 1 February 2003) states "To the crew of the space shuttle Columbia, you continue to be our inspiration."

Alternate Versions

The Season 1 DVD release in May 2005 included several minutes of deleted scenes for several episodes. Most of these were obvious trims for time or pacing, but a couple of more substantial cuts are also included, such as a scene from "Two Days Two Nights" showing how Archer arranged for his crew to take shore leave on Risa (including a line of dialogue from T'Pol that foreshadows the following season's episode "The Seventh").

Enterprise Cancelled

Its Official, after 4 years of Enterprise, UPN has announced Enterprise will end after this season. Look on www.startrek.com.

PS i think the 3rd season killed Enterprise and a fan base unwilling to stretch their imaginations and get some new material in. The 3rd Season with a great area called the Delphic Expanse has never been mentioned in previous Star Trek canon and I think it would have been considering Earth was nearly destroyed.

Typically it gets cancelled as Season 4 was improving its outlook, the 3-story arcs were great and we were starting to get the Vulcans back into the Vulcans we recognised (I think the new types of Vulcans were a turn off for fans as well.) I was loving all the Tellarites/Andorians/Vulcans/Humans starting to work together, we had the beginnings of the Federation.

Its a shame but I personally do blame a lack of imagination in Berman/Braga.
