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

Corrected entry: The U.S.S. Defiant hull number NCC-1764 is incorrect; NCC-1764 is the hull number for the U.S.S. Galina - Heavy Cruiser Class, as listed in the Star Fleet Technical Manual.

Correction: The starfleet technical manual is not canonical. Also, as the entire series is revealed to be a holodeck simulation this could be a programming error.

Only the final episode is a simulation. Riker didn't spend 4 years in the holodeck.

Correction: A quick Google search shows that the USS Defiant has the registry of NCC-1764, as shown in both the Enterprise episodes and the Original Series episode The Tholian Web, where the ship was originally featured.

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.

Trivia

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.

Questions

Show generally

Question: Why was Enterprise cancelled after only four seasons?

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.
