Trekkers are getting together to win a reprieve for Star Trek: Enterprise, which will end its mission on America's UPN in May.
"Save Star Trek" was the headline of a full-page advertisement in yesterday's Los Angeles Times that called on fans to get the show a new TV home through a petition campaign and rally.
"Captain Archer and the crew of the NX-01 need your help to continue their journeys!" the ad read, calling the Star Trek franchise a "cultural icon."
The ad asked viewers to commit to watching the show, now in its fourth season, if the Sci Fi Channel -- "its logical home," according to the ad -- agrees to pick it up.
The ad contained cut-and-mail pledges addressed to the channel, Paramount Network Television, which produces the series; and to parent company Viacom Inc.
A rally is planned for February 25 outside the Paramount studios in Los Angeles, according to the ad, which says it was paid for by worldwide fan donations.
