[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timelord: [QB] We clearly disagree on this issue, but it would be nice if you would refrain from putting words in my mouth. If anything is irrational here, it is your vehement rebuke of one persons OPINION. [QUOTE]But it struck me as incredibly irrational for someone to accuse people of spitting tired old rehashes of old ideas when you yourself spat out a tired rehash of the same old baseless "Berman is the death of Trek" argument. [/QUOTE] My OPINION was that Star Trek as produced by Berman/Braga is degenerating into space opera. If technobabble and cool FX are all you want, knock yourself out, but I would prefer a series with some dramatic weight. Sci-fi gets a bad rap on Emmy night because so much of it is crap, dramatically speaking. [QUOTE]But don't expect me to give your reasoning a passing thought if you just ramble on about Braga's mailbox being in the seventh circle of hell and provide nothing but fluff like "Berman and Braga are apriori evil because everyone who knows real scif-fi says so on all the BBses" [/QUOTE] Never suggested anything remotely like this. As it happens, I don't frequent other BBses. Obviously there are many other people with the same criticisms. [QUOTE]But what's your justification for that claim? That they went ahead and made a show with a ship that wasn't in a blurry display in a twenty-year old movie! The horror! The horror! If you consider adhering-to-barely-seen-visual-canon-above-all-else as the true mark of artistry, I don't know what to say next. [/QUOTE] My argument never centered on what is or isn't "canon". Artistry in my OPINION is in the creation of three-dimensional characters which are utilized in dramatic situations to explore the thoughts, emotions, strengths, and weaknesses of our humanity. TV is for entertainment, but the best shows do more than that. We will see in the coming months if Enterprise really takes us where no one has gone before. The acting will certainly be of the highest caliber, it always has. I just wish the creators had been a little more creative. Naming the new series "Enterprise" seems to me to be nothing but a ploy to grab as many viewers as possible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
