Thanks for the importent good work!

The production has prepared for this situation and as I understand the 4th season finale episodes which are currently being made will also be the series finale. facing this fact, how will the production be able to support a fifth season? how can a fifth season be made in that case? I've noticed that you at SaveEnterprise push to concentrate the fan mailings on one man - Leslie Moonves. why him? why is he so important in this? why more then other network executives? Some of us here have donated money for the ad. what in your view can an ad publication as such accomplish? is it directed mainly to the executives or the fans? can you explain why a full-page ad at the L.A. Times is better then a 1/12 ad at USA today which is distributed all around the US? many thanks from all the Enterprise and Star Trek fans here at Starbase972!

(Tim)This is why the Rally, letter writing and other events are so important NOW. We are trying to get them to change the Series finale to a season finale.. Time is an issue. From what I know of they are not killing anyone off on the show.. but the it would be much more expensive to set everything back up once they are torn down. Feb 25th is the last day of shooting the photography. This is the day we are doing the LA Rally. We have national media that is suppose to be involved in this. We are trying to make them change there minds. how can a fifth season be made in that case? I've noticed that you at SaveEnterprise push to concentrate the fan mailings on one man - Leslie Moonves. why him? why is he so important in this? why more then other network executives? Some of us here have donated money for the ad. what in your view can an ad publication as such accomplish? is it directed mainly to the executives or the fans? (Tim)The reason we are hitting Moonves is because he is the top dog and has the final say in the shows renwal. We were focusing on him prior to cancellation. Since the show has been cancelled, we are hitting them all.. Viacom, Paramount, UPN as well as CBS.. can you explain why a full-page ad at the L.A. Times is better then a 1/12 ad at USA today which is distributed all around the US? many thanks from all the Enterprise and Star Trek fans here at Starbase972! (TIM) After doing more research on this we found out that the LA Times is the 2nd largest paper in the U.S. and actually reachs more people than the the other. The average readers age for USA was 49, the LA Times was 32. The ad in USA was 1/18th page, the LA Times a full page. The LA Times is still a nationally distributed paper as well, plus we will be in the local addition which nomally cost more money. So, more of a targeted audience for what we are trying to do, a full page vs 1/18th, Will have a direct impact on Moonves, Paramount and the Sci Fi channel and the media will be much more likely to get involved with a full page ad vs the smaller one. There were many reasons for the change. I personally feel the LA Times was the way to go and still feel this way. I think the impact will be huge!
