Manny Coto took over for season 4.  Unfortunately, it was apparently
too late and Paramount gave up on the low ratings that B/B caused with
that Xindi abomination.

FWI, Manny Coto has a clue.  Among his credits are about half of the
series '24' (including the next season), 'Odyssey 5' and 'The New Outer
Limits".  In all cases, both as an Exec Producer and a writer.

Paramount pulled the plug on Voyager about 7 years too late, and
Enterprise a year too early.  ST:E could have been saved if they gave
Coto another year.

So, you're going to ignore the reboot movie by JJ Abrams currently in
production and slated for release next year?
