[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timelord: [QB] Yes B5 was utterly crappy enough to win the 1996 and 1997 Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation. Anyway... [QUOTE]a) The most tired arguement: "It's Star Trek -- we should look forward, not back!" [/QUOTE]I never bought this argument. I was really excited at the prequel prospect but was terribly disappointed by the lack of originality. Point B and C are right on the money, however. B&B gotta go. Did they do some good stuff in the past? Certainly. But they're just churning out pulp SF now. Time for someone with vision beyond the next paycheck to take over. There [i]are[/i] many fans out there who were interested in the Sulu/Excelsior project. A very insightful article regarding the campaign and dissention among Star Trek fans can be read [URL=http://www.treknation.com/columns/takeontrek/takeontrek_230400.shtml]here[/URL]. The author makes the point that there are two distinct audiences for Trek. The older viewers who favor the original series, movies, and most of TNG, and the younger, newer viewers who started watching within the last eight years or so. There is definitely a generation gap between Star Trek fans. Each camp wants something different and when they clash, caustic comments like the kind already in evidence in this thread are the result. Unfortunately,if TPTB continue to alienate the original died-in-the-wool fans of Star Trek, I feel there is little hope for continuation of the series in any form. [/QB][/QUOTE]
