[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] Savar has a very good point. No matter how much you like the current series, you have to admit you have a lot less company than a few years before. Something is happening to the Trek franchise, and despite your strident claims to the contrary, the proof is in the numbers. There's a lot fewer people tuning in to watch the Trek saga. I don't know if "they strayed from the formula" is quite the best description of what happened, but it's close. They're doing something that is wrong, in that they can't seem to keep the spirit of the series alive. Failing that, it seems to me that they're trying to milk the cash cow dry before it loses momentum (to badly mix some metaphors [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG]). When Walt Disney was alive, the Disney studios could do no wrong. Every project they touched turned to gold. When Walt Disney died, they lost their main creative talent. They struggled along for many years, turning out mediocre "entertainment" like "Million Dollar Duck" and other drivel. It took them several years to finally recover and figure out how to get along without Walt. I suspect that Gene's presence added direction and purpose to the whole Star Trek enterprise. I hope they find their direction before they've driven off so many loyal fans that it isn't worth the investment. I hope they recover before they have to scrap the whole franchise, because I like what Trek [i]can[/i] be, but all too often isn't anymore. --Baloo P.S.: Welcome to the forums, Savar. You certainly picked a sore spot to pick at on your first go, huh? Don't worry, a lot of us have been there, done that, and got the tee-shirt! <center>[IMG]http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shire/8641/Shades.gif[/IMG]</center> [/QB][/QUOTE]
