Yup. . .it's all that and everything else everyone has been saying :o( TPTB
are clueless when it comes to succeeding in this industry.
They managed to alienate many of it's core audience with some awful antics
during it's heyday (a cardinal sin!). Other shows flooded the market which
drew away potential viewers, for which TPTB simply ignored (about as dumb as
Rumsfeld's policy to ignore the looting in Iraq). To top it all off a slew
of sci-fi shows hit the airwaves, raising the bar in terms of excellence and
Trek's response is to just muddle along?! We were the trend-setters for
crying out loud!!!
I don't think Trek (in it's current form) will ever appeal to mainstream
audiences. What is disconcerting is that sci-fi fans aren't exactly doing
cartwheels over this latest carnation of Trek :o(
As for me, I've resigned myself to playing games now. . .Knights of the Old
Republic was just a blast :o) Enterprise for me - well, it looks like Trek.
. .but it's very essence is missing. All form, no substance. Every once in
a while I see a review that intrigues me and I'll download the episode - but
otherwise it's something I can go without. Sad really. . .
