*sigh* Am I the only one NOT excited about yet another incarnation of Star Trek? Sure, I'll probably go see it, regardless, but I'd be just as happy if they didn't do anything at all...

I'll be excited when it turns out to be good, when they've proven that they're not just trying to make a few extra bucks by continuing to beat a dead horse with the same old broken stick. They were saying the same shit about "a fresh new start for Trek" back when they were pitching Enterprise, remember? And we all know how well that turned out!

Star Trek was never an art and always a business. Don't fool yourself. Its about money -- and to make money you need a quality product.

Of course it was always about money. But there's a difference between making gems like "Battlestar Galactica" and making money, and making shit like "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda" and making money. For the last ten years or so, the Trek franchise has been following the latter. And that's why "Enterprise" was cancelled, because enough people finally got fed up and stopped watching, and thus Paramount wasn't making enough money.
The producers are obviously hoping to make lots of money by convincing enough people that there's enough of a turnaround in the development that the audience will come back to see what's new.

Compared to ENT, oh, yes it is. I gave ENT a fair shake, I wanted it to be good, but I just couldn't get with Paramount's creation.

1.) This image, or, rather, the uncropped version of this image, is the splash intro at Startrek.com.
2.) Battlestar Galactica is the best or maybe second best drama on TV, officially, as determined by seasoned experts who happen to be me.
