Before Her Time: Decommissioning Enterprise: Part Two - Memorable Voyages

Larry Nemecek notes that Enterprise had to get good ratings. He notes that the episodes where good, but the ratings were not that good. Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens mused about the signs that the show was ending. Mike Sussman noted that the budget for season four had been reduced. He notes that was mitigated by amortizing the cost across multipart episodes. This gave rise to three episodes on Vulcan, three about the Augments, three about the Andorians & the Romulans, two about the mirror universe and the final arc about the xenophobic movement on Earth at the time the precursor to the Federation was being negotiated. Manny Coto talks about a potential of William Shatner being on Enterprise via something involving the Mirror Universe. Mike and Denise Okuda noted how wonderful the original series sets (reproduced for the Mirror Universe two-parter) are. Manny Coto notes that he wanted to do more Gorns and Tholians. Several cast members comment on season four.
