So they would rather have a chick flick than a show with mostly male audience.

[thefactor]

not necessarily. whatever gets ratings, gets air.

As long as there are Sci Fi fans...there will be a Star Trek...

Re #2

That is true. But, according to the article, network bigwigs think that they should go for chicks.

I liked it, but could never find it after the first season. With 100 and something channels it's extemely important for television networks to make sure that a show doesn't move out of a time slot. They could get away with this with fewer channels, but now shows just get lost.

Yup and Andromeda is in its final season also.

Understand that the NYT is upset because there Utopian future is finished.

Me I would rather have the B% universe with its untidiness or the mirror universe with its nastiness.

The sixties are finally dead.

"As Jolene Blalock, who played the Vulcan officer T'Pol on "Enterprise," explained: "The stories lacked intriguing content. They were boring." A lifelong "Star Trek" fan, Ms. Blalock said she was dismayed by early "Enterprise" scripts that seemed to ignore basic tenets of the franchise's chronology, and that offered revealing costumes instead of character development. "The audience isn't stupid," she said."

My opinion of Ms. Blalock just went up a notch. I always hated that ridiculous outfit too, as well as the mangling of the chronology.

Re #8

It is true that the Sci Fi should lose inane Utopian flavor. That is why I liked DS9 better than other series. If I were a producer, I would lose all Utopian trappings and make it really dramatic. And no time-travel. However, I will keep shape-shifters.

I think people have enough Star Trek shows to keep them satiated. It would been nice to have a fifth season. But with four shows totaling 28 years and adding the four seasons of "Enterprise" it comes to 32 years worth of Star Trek. Ok, make that 35 years with TOS tossed in. We've got so much Star Trek people's senses are just overloaded. The fans are clamoring for a break. The next time Paramount makes a show, it better be special.

..actually, the last couple weeks of ST:E have been quite entertaining. :/

[goldstategop]

Too bad we're three seasons short of projected completion. >sniff Not that any one will miss it.

My only question how come malcolm was killed he was wearing the red shirt.

[dts32041]

Not to mention she and Linda have great looking belly buttons.

"Star Trek" has earned its death. Let's hope the upcoming "Star Wars" series will not suffer the same PC fate as their sci-fi cousins.

[goldstategop]

You mean the sociopaths on the "Dark Universe" saga? They were really bad. Humans basically took what they wanted and killed any one stood in their way. An Empire of sick puppies. Archer did it by assassinating captains and fleet admirals. And his mistress poisoned him to become Empress.

Yeah cool wasn't it, Kind of reminds me of the Draka

[skinkinthegrass]

Too bad we're three seasons short of projected completion.

Hmm..they could have a series ST:The Alternate Realities..and have a different episodes in each series..ST:E, TOS, ST:NG, ST:DS9 and (HA! :) ST:V.

DS9 was the best Trek series ever. I Tivo reruns of it every day.
