Star Trek is no more, as of tonight. Inevitable?

[Faygo Kid]

Never liked Star Trek: Enterprise. Star Trek: The Next Generation seems so antiseptic and optimistic now that we have an administration that makes us long for Reagan (maybe not that disheartening - more like Detroit Lions fans longing for the glory years of Wayne Fontes). Our dreams have been beaten down by the breathtaking evil, banality and idiocy of George W. Bush. Hell, we are doing well if we can retain evolution teachings in the schools, let alone scientific exploration! I believe that given where we are, Star Trek goes the way of the horseless carriage. I am not a Trekkie, but I am saddened by that fact. And your thoughts?

1. Star Trek was already no more once

that's what launched the whole Trekkie industry

2. Trek needs fallow time.

The core creative people involved with it have been doing the same thing for around 20 years now. Everyone should move along so that fresh ideas and talent can come and take hold.

Time to take those copyrights, put them in a transporter-diagnostic cycle and launch that shuttle into deep space.

Let hope Star Trek's next generation is better than Voyager or Enterprise.

3. I don't care.

I once had a housemate who was watching that show everytime I'd arrive home after my 16 hour days in school. He was usually drunk.

It was very hard on me, drunkeness, loudness and Star Trek tedium.

4. I stopped watching

...after Deep Space 9 ended its run. It stopped 10+ years of continuity. Voyager was just too far away from the Alpha Quadrant...

OK, so maybe I do need to get a life...
