I love Voyager. I really do. However, I think the prospect of Paramount making a Voyager movie are slim to none. I think the series ended in such a way that it could be possible to build from "Endgame" and make a wonderful given the writer director and writers.
But one must realize that no Voyager is going to be made. Out of the four series, Voyager had the lowest average ratings of all. Part of this is the desertion of fans due to varying reasons and the other part is that UPN was not carried in as many locations as could be achieved through syndication. Thus, a smallest audience to begin with. It'd be a financial gamble on Paramount's part to produce a Voyager movie for these reasons: there isn't all that sound a fan base that would see a Voyager movie and generate the money needed to justify it. In the end, it all comes down to profits.

Are you saying DS9 will be the first post-TNG show to enter the realm of motion picture? I think most of the Voyager series was not well written. They had a couple of good eps, Year of Hell, Lifeline, Caretaker, Endgame, Workforce, The Void and others.

I think it's because people think DS9 was too talky. It really wasn't, they just saw one episode and assumed the rest was boring. It's the best Star Trek series. I think that's the reason they don't wan't to make a movie. Tell them to watch "Sacrifice of Angels," "Tears of the Prophets," "Emissary," "Our Man Bashir," and so on...

No, the reason they won't make a movie is because not enough people watched the show, the storylines that make DS9 unique are too complex to be squeezed into two hours, and the cast is huge.

They were able to fit them into an hour, I think they'll be able to fit the stories into 2 hrs. And to say for the cast didn't Traffic have a huge cast.

Get off my back! I made some errors alright! The only reason your mad at me is because I talked about Roger frigin' Ebert! Maybe I don't like critics that's my opinion and if you don't like it that's your problem. Or are you just trying to fit in? I don't care, but you don't have to get all emotional on me, Veers.

Sorry, Dr. Phlox, but we all get bashed on the forums. It's a fact of life. You want to see bashing, there's nearly two pages of Veers-bashing on the Technology secion, in the "Symbiosis" mystery object section. What fun!
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
