The ratings were poor and the writers took too long to get to showing the first Klingon-Federation war. Many viewers were eagerly awaiting to see how the first war would take place. Instead all we got was the Zindi crap.

Because it was an attempt at breaking away from Star Trek's lengthy, and somewhat formulaic, history. Some of the notable changes in this series versus the others were...

1. It's a prequel. So this series didn't carry the timeline forward at all and in fact it set the timeline on it's head on a few occasions causing several problems with Star Trek lore continuity. Problems that were all resolved at the end of the series when it was revealed that the entire series was a holodeck fantasy.

2. No symphonic/instrumental intro music. Instead it was replaced with a mediocre rendition of a less-than-notable song previously performed and released by Rod Stewart.

3. Unlike the other series, writers/producers of Enterprise were afraid to tackle any current social issues. In the late 1960's Star Trek the original series confronted racism and sexism in several episodes. In the 1980's/1990's The Next Generation had episodes on brinkmanship, environmental concerns and illicit drug use. Deep Space Nine addressed homosexuality and religious persecution & fanaticism. The fact that the writers/producers of Enterprise didn't even mildly delve into these types of subjects and instead chose to insert as many close-ups of the notably attractive Jolene Blalok in sexual situations as possible made it glaringly obvious that Roddenberry's original goals were dead and buried in Rick Berman's Star Trek.

The viewing figures were to low and so the network cancelled the show.

Which Star Trek The Next Generation episode is about the Enterprise entering a spatial anomaly and encountering multiple Enterprises from different dimensions?

>That would be the very final episode in the series, titled "All Good Things..." Also, they do not encounter Enterprises from different dimensions, but from different time periods.Could also be "Parallels" from season 7. There were thousands of Enterprises in the end sequence.


Will Naruto end soon?

No, it isn't going to end soon. It is still ongoing and looking at its popularity, it won't be ending soon.


What episode on Star Trek did Spock mention salutations and felicitations?

The episode you mention is "The Squire of Gothos" where Trelane (played by William Campbell, who also played one of the first Klingons, Koloth), offers a greeting to the Enterprise "Salutations and felicitations, Hip-hip Hurrah... Tally-Ho!" One could argue that Trelane's species was reminiscent of the Q, albeit child-like, as he commanded an entire planet which could outrun the Enterprise at warp factor 5 and he can control matter like a replicator. TRIVIA: Trelane's father's voice (heard at the end of the episode) is that of James Doohan, our beloved engineer, Montgomery Scott.


Who is spock's girlfriend?

In the new movie they make it appear as though it's Uhura, this is false. In the shows Uhura had been with Scotty. In the show Spock does Pon Farr (mating ritual of the vulcans) with a Vulcan woman named T'Pring, he doesn't marry her but he does end up marring a Vulcan woman named Saavik... in one of the trek novels.
