I was bored and caught the second half of the rerun of the Enterprise episode "Judgement", and during a commercial I heard a voice a lot like Michael Dorn's doing a voice over for some BS I just can't remember, and finally at the end, came the very familiar triangular swoosh logo first seen on the TOS shirts and the words "Star Trek: Enterprise".

Oh gee, suddenly we WANT to associate ourselves with the Star Trek thing overtly? Do they think that folks may suddenly realize "Hey, it's a Star Trek series" and start watching?

Or, were they just being lazy? Who knows.

Well, they did on the promo. Whether it was a screwup and they won't have Star Trek on the actual titles remains to be seen. But hey, I was shocked enough to run to the boards here 5 minutes later and post about it

Well, UPN.com's still calling it "Enterprise", even on their fall line-up.

If they were going to change the title, I'd imagine they'd want to hype the change a little more than on a few ads.

Maybe it's UPN's new show, The Star Trek Enterprise, a behind the scenes look at turning a popular and vibrant franchise into a dime and nickle operation.

...or maybe ENTERPRISE is counterfeit, and the real deal is coming to UPN soon!

Nawww....

Someone was saying over at TW that Berman may indeed be leaving after season 3. How ironic would that timing be if ENT were to actually become great AND draw a larger audience?

This isn't the first time the promos have said "Star Trek: Enterprise".

Perhaps, but they were certainly more subtle about it before because I missed them. This time it read "Star Trek Enterprise" prominently, the same way it read "Star Trek Voyager". And of course the full screen "swoosh triangle" logo spinning on its axis in the background was a pretty strong hint too. Not to mention Michael Dorn doing the voiceover.
