    Episode 9: It’s Been A Long Time… with Manny Coto
    Jan 11 2022
    Join hosts Brian Volk-Weiss and Mary Jo & John Tenuto as they take a deep dive into episode 9 of the documentary series where they discuss Enterprise and more with writer, director and producer Manny Coto! Plagued by fledgling UPN’s underperformance, Enterprise’s premise (a prequel about the Federation’s founding) was undercut by the decision to make the third season a reaction to 9/11. Lackluster ratings meant Captain Archer and his crew would only get four seasons. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
