Star Trek: Enterprise

Correction: The Sphere was hidden from Enterprise's sensors, and T'Pol could only approximate how far away the Sphere was supposed to be (75,000 kilometers). When Archer reports, he says they've "approached 79,000 kilometers and still no sign," meaning they've gone past T'Pol's original estimate with still no visible sign of the Sphere.

Stigma - S2-E14

Corrected entry: Archer says he doesn't remember T'Pol being attacked in "Fusion." But in that episode, he lured T'Pol's attacker into his cabin, got into a fight, and threatened him with a phase pistol because he knew the guy assaulted T'Pol.

Correction: He says, "You were attacked. I remember."

Carpenter Street - S3-E11

Corrected entry: Captain Archer does not know how to drive a car, but he is from a time when they had cars, and Trip even says in a previous episode that the escape pod him and the princess are in reminded him of his first car. (02:05:15 - 02:06:20)

Correction: Just because cars were still in use, it does not mean everyone can drive one. Archer's father was a pioneer of space travel, so it is not unlikely he learnt to fly a shuttle rather than drive a car. As a child he spent his time fantasising about flying space ships. Similarly, Travis would be unlikely to drive because he grew up on a freighter, not on Earth.

In a Mirror, Darkly (1) - S4-E18

Corrected entry: At the end of the opening credits for this episode and its sequel, Earth is shown rotating from west to east, the opposite direction as in real-life, likely to highlight the differences in the mirror universe.

Correction: Since they have never shown the sun rising in the mirror universe, the Earth just might rotate west to east. The phenomenom is called retrograde rotation. Venus spins west to east for example.

Regeneration - S2-E23

Other mistake: Two Borg are discovered North of the Arctic Circle. One is covered in ice, the other encased in ice. Carbon dating shows the wreckage to be over 100 years old (to tie it in with Star Trek: First Contact). The Borg are inactive and unable to repair themselves until they are "defrosted". The temperature above the Arctic Circle doesn't usually drop below -100°F. The Borg have been shown to work very well in the vacuum of space which is 3-4K (roughly -454°F). If they can survive that, even being frozen in a solid block of ice would not slow them down. The nanites have to be in their "blood" and operate at the cellular level. That cannot be damaged by re-entry and the crash.

Dr. Phlox: Six hours.
Commander Tucker: Two.
Dr. Phlox: Four.
Commander Tucker: Done. And remind me never to buy a car from you.

Horizon - S2-E20

Trivia: When Travis is in his old room talking with Nora about Enterprise, look on the bookshelf behind Travis. There's a large white book about Chicago gangs of the 1920's. In the original series episode "A Piece of the Action" it is determined that 100 years ago the ship Horizon accidentally left a book about Chicago gangs which influenced the entire culture to mimic the mobster lifestyle.

More trivia for Star Trek: Enterprise

Answer: While ratings did drop, there was a lot going on to cause the rating drops and cancellation. First, "Enterprise" was on UPN, which was dissolved a year after the show was cancelled. At the time of cancellation, it was UPN's highest rated drama. Because they were on at night, they were often preempted by local UPN broadcast of baseball games. And it wasn't even aired in every market. They also lost a major corporate backer early and it was difficult for them to over come that loss. Plus, for season 4, they switched to a Friday night line up, so they were competing against Fox shows, like "The Simpsons" whereas on Wednesdays they didn't have much competition.

Answer: The same reason any show gets canceled, low ratings.

Not all shows get cancelled because of low ratings. Some get cancelled because they're too expensive to make.

Don't know why it had low ratings. IMO it was close to the best of Star Trek franchise.
