[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Yeah, not everybody was raised with the idea that storytelling has to be continuous (containing continuity), cohesive, be easily indexed by time and topic, and make a franchise out of it James Bond has been a spy for fifty years without aging a day. Hes had half a dozen facelifts. Nobody questions it.. hes just 007 and thats it. People are just paying their 7.50, being entertained, and going home. They arent trying to explain why in Bond's eyes the fall of the Berlin Wall occurred a few months after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Its entertainment and escapism, and people are willing to suspend disbelief because its well put together eye candy effects and action sequences, good music and enjoyable dialogue with good acting and character play. So how come you cant let the guy sitting next to you say 'well, i dont think that Voyager happened the way it did because it didnt make sense' Hes enjoying it. And Paramount are a bunch of brainless suits who see Star Trek as a cash crop to be raked in. The creative personnel, while not perfect in our eyes (read every thread here about the producers) are trying to keep star trek working. The novelists, the comic book artists have passion for the characters and the look of star trek. I think they have more validity in my eyes than the licensing office. I try to play the 'continuity' game as much as everyone else here, because i like that a well done universe can be catalogued and analyzed the way i do on my page with star trek. Thats what makes watching Star Trek more fun that watching Mad About You. But i dont try to tell everyone what to think.. Star Trek is OWNED by the person watching and enjoying it. i think that the Yamato's registry is 1305-E. Thats my prerogative because ive made it my show. I suggest we move over to the Flameboard now. [/QB][/QUOTE]
