[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Yes, let's create a show that combines all thw worst bits of DS9 and Voyager. You'd probably end up with something like The Office, in space. I'm less interested in the settings of any future Trek series, than the style. That whole episodic, 42-minute, four-act structure is so passé. I want challenging human drama, not trite morality plays about humanity's (well, the white middle-class American part of it) manifest destiny in the universe. The other morning, Dominic West (star of The Wire) was interviewed on the Today programme (BBC Radio 4's flagship political radio show) ofor what was obviously a puff-piece for the Beeb's terrestrial showing of The Wire. He bemoaned the fact that UK drama these days only seems to be good at period pieces. Well, the Trek shows you all seem to want are period dramas at this point. I want something like The Wire, the Sopranos, Mad Men, Six Feet Under, The Shield, Breaking Bad, Generation Kill. BSG was the only show being lumped in with that lot and it's gone now; I had high hopes for Virtuality but last reports were that Fox were lobotomising it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
