History
The first Enterprise: Flashed epsiode, Cancelled was released on March 17, 2005 close to a month after the announcment that UPN and Paramount had cancelled Star Trek: Enterprise. That episode and the following Cancelled: Part 2 (Released April 2) were warmly recieved on the TrekUnited forums, which later became the cartoon's primary fan base. During the grand anticipation of Cancelled: Part 3, Troftgruben released The Leslie Moonves Incident. The day of the release, a moderator of TrekUnited was telling people that he had a "surprise" that night. Unfortunately, some took the news of a "surprise" as the possible news that Paramount was going to announce a fifth season of Enterprise and were slightly disappointed when it turned out to be the release of a new Enterprise: Flashed cartoon. The episode was warmly recieved nonetheless and people were wildly excited for Cancelled: Part 3. After nearly a month, the epsisode was released and the fans rejoiced. An attempt to join all 3 of the episodes into one continous file were abandoned by Troftgruben on June 18, 2005.

On May 26, 2005 Troftgruben announced the beginning of work on Special Episode 2, Moonves Versus Brazeal. The idea of site icon Tim Brazeal, the founder of the effort to bring back Enterprise pitted against the site enemy Leslie Moonves (who is still blamed by regulars for the cancellation of Enterprise) got many excited. The excitment grew when on June 5, 2005 Trofgruben announced that he would be accepting pictures of forum members to be "flashed" and appear in the cartoon. Dozens of members sent in pictures in anticipation of seing themselves "flashed." After numerous posts of screenshots and other teasers, the community was treated to the episode on August 25, 2005. Voicework was done by Tim and Jane Brazeal, who were featured as the main portagonists in the story. The episode was again recieved excellently, partially due to the references both to the rivarly between TrekFansUnited and Leslie Moonves and the now dormant rivalry between TrekFansUnited and StarTrek.com. It is arguably the most popular of the episodes so far.

On Spetember 25, 2005, Troftgruben announced to the TrekFansUnited forum that he would be taking time off from working on Episode 4 and that there would be a short hiatus. Members of TrekFansUnited understood and paitently waited for the release of Episode 4. Finally, on December 23, 3005 These are the Voyages? was released as a parody of the real Enterprise Season Finale. Unlike the realone which was despised for the most part on TrekFansUnited, TATV? was well recieved as commenting on various aspects of the Finale in humorous ways.

Today, Troftgruben is working on Episodes 5 and 6, Trek Wars and Trek Wars 2. There is no current release date, as he is also busy with other projects, such as "Batguy Starts."
