[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "The Archer/T'Pol dynamic (Human Captain and Vulcan XO don't like each other but eventually learn to respect one another) HAS been done before." The second pilot of TOS, and the first with Kirk in, opens with the Captain and Spock playing chess. How is this "not liking each other"? "NCC-1701 WAS the first starship Enterprise (The Motion Picture and TNG both displayed the Enterprise legacy, in photos and bas relief. There was the aircraft carrier, then the space shuttle, and then NCC-1701. Pretty conclusive to me, unless to don't regard either the movies or TNG as "canon". " The Motion Picture chart missed out several Enterprises. As did the bas relief charts. Hell, they're not even consistent with each other (since the Space Ship Enterprise from TMP isn't on the TNG observation lounge wall). "An ailing Gene Roddenberry passed the series HE created on to Berman who waited until Gene died and then tried desperately to remake Trek in his own image." And he obviously ruined it. Which is why season 1 is the most loved, and I can't go a day without remembering the joys of "Shades of Grey". Do you know Rodenberry wrote Encounter at Farpoint? And what is often considered the worst out of all Trek pilots? The Erotic Adventures of Mr Plinky is not the answer. "He brough TNG to a close (which still had some years left in it) so it wouldn't compete with his brainchild, DS9." Oh yes, THAT's why TNG was bought to a close. Paramount let him stop making TNG, so that it wouldn't compete with a new and untried spin-off! Genius! "The premise of the show was so boring, they created the Defiant, the Dominion War, and brought back Worf so someone would watch the show." And, again, Berman did all that. Those interviews where Ira Behr said "we added the Defiant because we felt it was silly having this big enemy, when all we had were three wimpy runabouts". (And, again, what's with the single person being responsible. While Berman might have pushed for Worf, I don't doubt that the entire DS9 writing team, and the exec producers all had a role in the Defiant, Dominion War, and pretty much everything else that happened in DS9.) "DS9 came to and end and almost immediately there followed Voyager which returned to the starship theme, but this series still did not attract the audience TNG had." And at this point, the argument just decends into crazy talk that's wrong and crazy. Did you not notice that DS9 ended two years ago? Berman is so evil he produced seven seasons of Voyager in TWO YEARS! He's obviouslly the Master regenerated and with a bad hair-cut. Was DS9 cancelled (even though it had more story in it), so it wouldn't compete with Braga's own semen-produced offspring? And I'm not even getting into the argument of TOS = Roddenberry (and not, say, DC Fonta, or Gene Coon). "About all Star Trek inspires me to do these days is turn of the TV and read a book. Not a bad idea, actually. " No. More people really should do it. Or Simon will beat them with sticks of words. [/QB][/QUOTE]
