[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] "If JMS does end up working on Trek, for fuck's sake, don't let him write any dialogue." I'm talking about fans in general, not in specific. But I don't think I have to stretch to find complaints about screenwriting, rather than correspondence. The thing is, whether JMS is overrated or not, thats your opinion. If you're pleased with Enterprise well, thats your opinion. I'm definitely not pleased with Enterprise, and thats my opinion. The fact that Enterprise has problems isn't an opinion, even the network executives apparantly see it, and thats saying something. So JMS may or may not be the right solution for ST, I already said I was going to sidestep that argument. But its hard to not see that something has to be done in general. If they've decided that they have to look around for new talent, I'm all for it. In any case, sure, JMS's record for starting new series isn't stellar. But to be honest, no one in this genre seems to be doing all that hot anyways. In the last ten years, we've seen many a failed series and the only thing that has lasted would be...Stargate SG1? One long-lived competitor out of many (Firefly, Angel, Farscape, X-Files, Harsh Realm, Sliders, EFC, Andromeda(? not sure), Outer Limits, New Twilight Zone, The Matrix, etc.) Oooh, I guess there's George Lucas, now there's a thought. But seriously, if we limit ourselves to science fiction writers that have launched successful science fiction franchises, its a pretty short list and one would wonder why they don't just work on their own creations.
