   Looks like Berman is in denial.  He can't the fathom the fact that he's   
   been the death of Trek and the fans know it.

   God he's dumb.  Of course there is a drop off during the holidays -   
   either people are travelling or are with family and hence don't watch as   
   much TV.

   Yes, mostly because it sucked and Berman is primarily responsible for it.
