[QUOTE]Originally posted by grb: [QB] I think what Kosh said was right. I think it means that if you have good writers and smart producers, than the show will be good. Let's look at star trek so far: TOS actually was pretty cheezy, often times sexist. But a few of the shows were really good because a few of the writers were very good, and were reflecting on the ideas and thought of the '60s. TNG really was pretty good. It was good because the writers were good. TNG barellly even scratched the surface with their characters, yet they were able to create fresh and new and quality stories every week. TNG was actually the most commercially popular trek series. DS9 did get off to a slow start, u have to admit. But with the coming of the dominion, the show developed its conflict and character driven story lines. Complex story arcs were formed throughout the series. This led to a spectacular 6th and 7th seasons of what is regarded as perhaps the best trek. But we have to notice that DS9 was good because it had good writers, and ira behr has its brilliant producer. Then came Voyager. Voyager, to put it nicely, did not compare with TNG or DS9. Although Voyager's stories could often times be exciting and sometimes intereting, I often found them shallow. This is because Voyager's writers aren't all the best, and Voyager's producer insits on making each show stand alone. The reason TNG and DS9 were good was because they had good writers. Voyager might not be as good because its writers are not always as good, and its producer has a different vision for the series. I personnaly believe that the next seres could do fine if: 1) The characters have potantial to grow and interact. 2) Good writers are brought in to work on the show. 3)An experienced trek producer is chosen who can perhaps find the balance between characters and plot. What this balance should be depends on your own views. I personally think an intermdeiate point between DS9 and TNG would be good. Some of u might want a series similar to DS9, while tohers might want one closer to TNG. [/QB][/QUOTE]
