[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] Man, fans are one fickle group. Side-stepping the issue of whether JMS working as an EP on Enterprise would be a good thing. Its just odd comparing this thread to a stereotypical thread on say Star Wars. There, you have a long running successful franchise that is continuing to make loads of money, yet its almost a universal given fact (among "fans") that they should replace George Lucas and create something more grown-up, more risky. Tangentially, you have shows like Futurama that are cancelled simply because they are too off-the-wall and creatively strange for network executives to "get". Now, here we have TPTB being forced to cut the price of Enterprise in half to keep it on the air and having the foresight to change the show runner to Manny Coto in the hopes that we'll get better television. They also go and see what writers might be interested in an EP position to shake things up, and what do we get? "Enterprise is already pretty good, continue as you were, running out of viewers and ratings. Its too risky to change now, and the current writers are already good enough. All those threads complaining about how B&B aren't good enough, don't mind them, we were just kidding." Sometimes, just sometimes I actually feel sorry for network executives. Then I get a drink. In any case, JMS declined the position so this all seems like a storm in a teacup. Your beloved Trek is perfectly safe. There is no need to question the credentials that were evidentally good enough for even the people that are in charge of ST. Also, what *was* he supposed to post? [QUOTE] No, just to clarify, though I got a call last year about coming onto Enterprise, offering an EP position, and declined...As for Manny, he's a horrible writer, and left to his own devices, I'm sure he'll wreck the show, interference from other powers or not. Depressingly enough, on the Trek front, Bryce Zabel (the self-admitted creator of that crummy show Dark Skies) and I got together and wrote a treatment earlier this year that specified how to run ST into the ground faster, so that no attempt could ever be made to resurrect it. I actually think it would be pretty horrible. Why am I telling you all of this again? not-jms [/QUOTE]In the end, while his posts may be self-promotional (sp.), at least they're more informative and interesting than the public newsgroup messages that Brannon and Berman have posted.
