George Takei, the actor who played "Captain Hikaru Sulu" on Star Trek, has blogged about the decision to axe Star Trek: Enterprise.
"Immediately, I thought of how the actors on the show must be feeling now," posted Takei on his website. "I know the sadness and the feeling of disappointment they must be experiencing. I suffered those same emotions so long ago. I remembered how we hoped against hope that we would be picked up. I remembered the anticipation and anxiety. I remembered the disappointment and hurt. Those actors on Star Trek: Enterprise were now going to be 'between engagements,' 'at leisure' - they were unemployed! Then I thought of the fans that had trekked along with us now for generations. Some had been with us from the very beginning in September of 1966, from the original series on through four spin-offs series. They, the fans, are the ones who really created the phenomenon of Star Trek. They are the real pillars of the series. I know how hurt they must be feeling. But I also know the history of Star Trek. Back in 1969, we thought we were done with Star Trek. The series, the journey, had ended - except for the reruns. Little did I know then. I think I've learned something from history since. As Spock once said, 'There are always possibilities.' As it turned out - there were."
