"A fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise was never produced, since the show was officially canceled on 2 February 2005. The producers, however, had already devised numerous plans for future seasons, which could have started airing by September 2005. Most information is based on comments by producer Manny Coto.

* A Kzinti episode had been suggested as a prequel to TAS: "The Slaver Weapon", which progressed as far as a "rough rendering" of a Kzinti starship, commissioned by writer Jimmy Diggs. The story was titled "Kilkenny Cats."
* It has also been stated that the starship Enterprise would have received new crewmembers, including Shran, the recurring Andorian character.
* Plans existed for an episode showing the construction of the first starbase, most likely in the Berengaria system. First hints to that episode were already given in "Bound".
* Enterprise was due to revisit (actually previsit) the cloud city Stratos on Ardana showing the formation of the two castes seen in TOS: "The Cloud Minders".
* Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) might have been seen as well: a two-hour drama centering around Hoshi Sato was written for Season Five (Writer's Guild-East Registration R18220-00), in which Guinan would be under an assumed name, "Claranna" (relating to Q's line to her in TNG: "Q Who", "Oh, is that the name you're using now?"), acting personal assistant of the head of the United Earth Space Probe Agency. Also to have been revealed: more of Guinan's background, what she was doing there since the time of Mark Twain (TNG: "Time's Arrow"), links to TOS and TNG, the first appearance of Skon, grandfather of Spock (T'Lar's line near the end of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) in a filmed episode, and why Vulcan delayed helping Earth with warp drive. The story was titled "The Treatment."
* Further planned topics included the Enterprise finally visiting Phlox's homeworld, Denobula. Furthermore, a revisit to the Mirror Universe, which had already been shown in "In a Mirror, Darkly", and possibly featuring Hoshi Sato being empress of the Terran Empire had also been discussed. A return of Section 31, which had its last appearance in "Terra Prime", was planned as well.
* Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens pitched a story with Alice Krige as a Starfleet medical technician who makes contact with the Borg from Season 2 ("Regeneration") and becomes the Borg Queen. [1]
* Writer/producer Mike Sussman hoped to have T'Pol finally meet her father, and reveal to the audience that he was in fact a Romulan agent who had posed as a Vulcan officer prior to faking his own death. The suggestion that T'Pol was half-Romulan would have shed light on her affinity for humans as well as her interest in experimenting with emotions."

The Borg story sounds ridiculously fanboy... But alot of the rest sounds pretty cool. Don't know if I like the idea of Shran as a regular on the ship though.

I wonder if the Kzinti would be seen under a different name since they're from the Ringworld universe and TAS is technically "not canon".


Too much Borg and Romulan spy wankery, but could be ok in the right hands.

I really thought the show was doing good things in season 4 and should have gotten a season 5 but I think the fix was in. They gave us season 4 to shut the fans up and reach syndication and they knew no matter what happened there would be no season 5.

Nothing says that they can't be the same basic race, but not from the Ringworld universe. TAS isn't considered canon (except for Spock's backstory and Cap'n April), but anything from the TAS episodes can be brought in as canon (witness the selaht and the blocky Starfleet freighter design). Then it's canon, as it's been seen in live-action.

So, does anyone know what that "Infraction" button does? Every time a non-mod posts I want to click it just to see what it is...

It's a warning for inappropriate conduct.

It's a pity we have such a low grunt:mod ratio, cause that sounds like fun to abuse like the rep system.

I can abuse you with it, if you'd like.
