[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dane Simri: [QB] Welcome to Flare, Savar. I too agree with a good deal of what you're saying. But... I think we need to be careful of doing to Gene Roddenbery what the people of the UFP did to Zephram Cochrane after he left the scene. (In fact, I've often thought that Bergman, Braga, and Moore were trying to say exactly this when they made Cochrane the kind of character he was in ST-FC.) Yes, Gene was a visionary. Yes, he captured lighning in a bottle -- twice. But I think he could just as easily have spoken Cochrane's words in the cockpit of the Phoenix: "You know what my vision is? Dollar signs..." etc. Now, before you pick up stones to hurl at me, all I'm trying to say is that Trek can be good, quality entertainment, on par with anything that Roddenbery did himself, without Roddenbery and, more importantly, without Roddenbery's "magic formula," the aforementioned "Enterprise, her crew, and her captain." I, too, watched every episode of TOS long before there was a TNG. I have no great affection for Bergman, Braga, Moore, and the lot. I agree that a break is not what the franchise needs. I wish Paramount would sack the current franchise leadership, find an old fan who has invested his life in the Trek universe (I volunteer [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG]), and start anew.
