The Sci-Fi channel should pick it upthey have TOS, Spike has ST:NG and ST:DS9...Nobody seems to want ST:V and ST:E...good riddance to the last two; except the last year of ST:E

Believe it or not, Star Trek managed to do THREE seperate "evil alien NAZI" plots over the years, each on a different series. The origianl Star Trek in 1968 (Ekosians NAZIs in "Patterns of Force"), Star Trek: Voyager in 1997 (Hirogen NAZIs in "The Killing Game") and finally Star Trek Enterprise in 2004 (Xindi NAZIs in "Storm Front")

Firefly, Farscape, Family Guy.
Cancelled and returned in some form. DVD sales were a big part of that. Currently Enterprise DVD season 1 and pre-order for two are doing pretty good at Amazon.
My partipation to save Trek is because I believe in its message of exploration and optimism, it is not based on pre-requisite of success or guranteed outcome.

I forget who said this, but it wrapped up all the attempts after the original series very well. It was in reference to Captain Picard: "It's the 24th century, and they still haven't found a cure for baldness."

To nitpick, how many friggin' episodes of TNG had some world-shaking revelation that never did seem to make it to even a single other episode, you know, like the 'warp screws up the universe' episode or the 'super-creature-warps-enterprise-vast-distances-to-trade-info' episode or the 'silly-thing-in-neck-conspiracy-all-over-starfleet' episode.
Good points...
What really frosts me about the entire franchise is when it became more about time travel than about exploring space. How many episodes (or movies) of any of the 4 latter day series had to do with some type of time travel contrivance? Too many.

It seemed like every season had the obligatory holodeck episode. Who would put these things on a spaceship, given the trouble they cause?
There needs to be a hard sci-fi show out there that takes it on like it's a legit subject, without all the goofy bipedal aliens and with a focus on terraforming. I would love them to take the Kim Stanley Robinson Mars books and turn it into a miniseries. That would be an incredible move for Hollywood and NASA...which is precisely why they'll never do it.

Wow, on TOS, TNG and DS9 I can't really argue with you. Those probably were the highlights.
I won't even ramble on about the OTHER 50 episodes that were pretty much just as good. You already know.;)

In my opinion, this franchise went out with a wimper. I was not impressed with the last three or four episodes due to their sotries to be really pedestrian and obvious. I also blame the Trek fans themselves and Spike TV for the franchise "overload". Trek fans are their worst enemy.

The disgusting two-part anti-alien "Earth Prime" eps clearly were a direct PC slap at anyone who supports the efforts of the Minutemen manning the US border, trying to paint these patriots as nothing more than a racist, xenophobic and bigoted cult. I almost expected to see the "Earth Prime" leader wear a Confederate flag patch on his sleeve.Yeah, but I had NO IDEA what Linda Park had been hiding underneath that uniform all this time... She was the hottest babe on Enterprise! Although the blue andorian chick that got killed, and the orian slave girls were pretty hot too.
As you can see, I prefer the more cerebral SCI-FI!
