[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Captain from M.I.K.E.: [QB] I still don't understand that with all the talk of letting the TV series/movie franchise "lay fallow" to give some time for the franchise to recover from some of the things that have been done to it lately, why Paramount refuses to make any serious forays into any alternative medium: a TV mini-series, animation, etc. Everyone seems to agree that the movies are tired and thats why profits and quality are down, but no one seems to recognize that as long as the films and TV might be halted, giving the "Black sheep" of the Trek family (novels, comics and games) the run of the game. Most of the producers seem to range from ambivalence to outright hostility towards the non-canon licensees.. hasn't anyone ever thought about using animation as a springboard for new concepts and viewership? Trek producers spend a lot of time purposely discrediting the licensed works, saying that the structure of the TV stories doesnt have the expansiveness to utilize ideas and continuity made outside of Paramount, but if they brought the novel editors or some other licensees on board, they could use it as a vehicle to getting some media out there at much lower over-head than a live-action production, and would impress a lot of hard core fans of licensed Trek who are continuously slighted by Paramount Trek's ignorance and seeming hatred of what other companies do with it. Not to mention that animation is a decent way to get younger viewers.. today's 8-18 year olds are tomorrows 18-34 year olds, so they could have their prime demographic filled up within a decade.. (and its not like expecting an 18-34 year old to watch "Enterprise" is entirely complimentary to their intelligence anyway, so its not like it will take extensive "dumbing down" of concepts and stories currently being fielded) but no one ever asks me...
