Enterprise Pulled Into Jake's Hole?

sp; align="center" hspace="7" border="0">Last year reports emerged that the latest "Star Trek" spin-off "Enterprise" was in danger of cancellation as the usual 26-episode run this season looks to have been shortened by two to 24 - however at the time UPN denied the cancel talk although did confirm the shortened episode span.

Now Cinescape reports that last week's shock cancellation of the budding "Jake 2.0" sci-fi series which followed on directly after "Enterprise" has got the latter programs cast & crew worrying. According to their source:

"The set is awash in rumor of its move to a new timeslot with perhaps its ultimate cancellation on UPN.

Apparently, TREK staffers were assured by higher-ups at UPN, including people in Les Moonves office, that ENTERPRISE and JAKE 2.0 were safe. After all, JAKE 2.0 was signed to complete this season's run of episodes.

But with the hammer coming down on JAKE this week, in addition to the 'trimming' of UPN's order of ENTERPRISE episodes this season, Star Trek's executives fear the promises given were disingenuous at best and are running on 'Red Alert' mode to save ENTERPRISE from cancellation doom, and this may include shopping the show to another network or cable channelor cable channel".
