[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] Boris: No fiction remains invariant, especially not if it continued for years or even decades and/or by different people than the original staff. We may call that evolution if we like it, or "an insult to the fans" if we don't. That's not the point here. On a side note, the movie MI was definitely an insult to the fans. Jim Phelps as a traitor? That's like Picard betraying the Federation. Not to mention the incredibly stupid scenes on the roof of the TGV... I didn't consider for a second to watch the second part. The true problem is that fans are creating their personal universe and are using elements of the basic setting in an inappropriate fashion. "ST vs. SW", "The rebels are evil" or, to some lesser extent (since it can't be excluded) "Starfleet Tac Fleet and Starfleet Marines". As I said, everyone is welcome to create his personal extension of a fiction, but not to alter it and tell others with "scientific analysis" that they must accept that version. I agree that Rodenberry, at latest since TNG, did everything to keep materialism and money out of his fiction. In no way does this mean that he wanted to pursue a 20th century version of communism. Those who claim something like that are completely lacking the imagination that is necessary to understand science fiction. Why do I have to wage a lonely battle here to defend the vision of Star Trek? [/QB][/QUOTE]
