[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] I thought that a Star Trek series based in another part of the galaxy with no contact with the Federation and having to rely on unconventional methods to survive was a good premise in theory. I thought a Star Trek series based in the past and concerning the foundation of the Federation and the coming Earth-Romulan war was a good premise in theory. I think a reboot of Star Trek is a good premise in theory, since it seemed to work well with both Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica. See where I'm going with this? The "premise" was never the problem. It was the execution of said premise by the powers that be at Paramount that was less than stellar. No matter what they come up with, no matter what spin they take about it in an interview in a sci-fi magazine, no matter who they get to star in it, if the same people at Paramount are in charge, it just won't work. Doctor Who had been effectively off the air for over fifteen years (not counting the TV movie). There is a totally different BBC in charge than there was in 1987. The format of the new show is totally different. With the exception of ONE guy, the production cast is totally different. There is a large hint that something really, really bad has happened in the intervening time off-camera, and we as the fans will slowly find out just what that is as the new show progresses. Doctor Who was a hit. That's the ingredients for a real reboot. Until Paramount stops viewing Star Trek as a "franchise" of which to make money off of, and starts fresh with the idea that they want to actually entertain people and make the loyal fanbase happy, then another successful form of Star Trek in the near future just won't happen. And I have no reason to believe that this early in the game that JJ Abram's take on ST will be any improvement, as long as the current Paramount regime is in charge of his doings. [/QB][/QUOTE]
