While traditional TV won't go the way like radio did in the 1950s, streaming is definitely the new "pay cable" in addition to traditional "pay cable" channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, etc. That said, standard TV nowadays is crap, mostly aimed at a least common denominator due to advertising and certain formulas. With an online streaming source, this could be more impetus to encourage streaming.
Enterprise just wasn't very good; despite fan myths about "franchise burnout" given that the series came on the heels of over two decades of movies, three other TV series, and numerous fan conventions including a fan film, Enterprise was subject to bland characters and confusing plots. That said, 12 years is a pretty decent gap between TV series, and with the technology and real life ideas that have surfaced, certainly has potential.
