[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Oh christ, Star Trek: Excelsior. I like George Takei, he's a nice guy, but let's face it, the series ain't going to happen. Why not? For the same reason everyone disses "Enterprise" -- a) The most tired arguement: "It's Star Trek -- we should look forward, not back!" b) The most common arguement: Recycled storylines, and the same familiar aliens of the week. c) Berman & Braga. Nevermind the common fanboy's ability to ignore their impacts on TNG and DS9, the two will continued to be blamed for absolutely everything wrong with the show, as well as Bush being president, and I'm sure they'll be somehow tied into the cause of the 9/11 attacks, too. PS -- I find this statement: [QUOTE]There are a considerable number of fans who are excited at the possibilities,[/QUOTE]Highly questionable in its accuracy. [QUOTE]Look at Babylon 5. Some people get really PO'ed when anyone mentions this series in a Trek thread, but it is another prime example of how something new and creative can be successful. [/QUOTE]No, people get PO'ed because Babylon 5 is utter and complete crap. The dialogue is stunted, the story ideas are unimagined (the writing in general is what you might expect of a fanboy written fan-fic, and possibly explains why so many enjoy the show despite its total lack of creativity), and the characters are about as exciting as watching a tree rot. Some of the sets are nice, and the special effects suck, but we won't hold that against them, except to the degree that the original "Star Trek" had great stories (for the most part), and crappy special effects, but the writing cancels out the special effects, and in the case of B5, they all blow.
