Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
Everyone should go to www.upn.com, look at the bottom-right of the page, and send UPN an unhappy message about cancelling Enterprise. If enough people do this, maybe the fans can pull off another TOS-like resurrection of the series

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
I am glad they cancelled it.
B & B have totally ruined star trek. Let it die. And in 10 years or so start it up again set far in the future. And as far away from B & B as possible and as far away from the crap star trek has become.

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
I agree in that a five to ten year hiatus from the franchise (aside from books, comics, videogames) would likely be very good for the franchise.

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
I liked the cast of the show and alot of the episodes they have had. I dislike the B & B effect and agree that those two turds should have been given the boot a long time ago after little B weasled his way into the job.
I was pleasently surprised by the series and KNOW that it has great potential, but bad management.

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
TEN YEARS YIKES NO I'd be 28 dang it and I don't want to wait that long (grrraaaaar) but they said 1 or 2 years on their official statement which is bullcrap beacuse why cancel an entire series just to make a new one 2 years later?
And besides that one of the Bs is going to making "the largest and most highly budgeted star trek movie of all time" soon, let us hope he does not turn it into another Nemesis.
Those two bastards should be canned before that movie is made or they'll just screw it up.

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
I rather liked Nemesis actually... It was refreshing to see some *** being kicked, rather than kissed, in something bearing the name of Star Trek. Sure it was a response to the all-too-true allegations of Trek wussy-ness that have been coming from fans of other sci-fis for years, but it was still a good flick.

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
I think the problem with Nemesis was that half of it was quite good and the premise interesting enough, but some poor dialogue/editing decisions really hurt the overall product. However, I'm still impressed at the battle sequence for once - at least they made an effort to match weapon hits with shield facings and related dialogue and things of that sort.

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
Do you think the Sci-Fi Network would buy Enterprise? It's nice to hope for something like that.
Or maybe a new series called "Klingon Space" A series like that would of course be full of lots of action. That's why we watch isn't it. Phaser fire, interesting tactical situations, monsters, cool ships, naked twister with green orion slave girls. To hell with dramatic situations.
I'm still hoping for a mini-series based on Niven's Known Space books.

Re: OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN
The problem with nemesis is that they did not have Frakes directing it, and some of the best scenes end up on the floor. To add that it was a dark movie, not orginally shot that way, but done so in editing, hense the poor editing award, the movie was made into a bad movie from a good one.
Also the Before Data, was a Romulan prototype design that they could not get to work right. Data fixed it, transfered his memories, and then died to save picard. Kinda like the spock thing in Trek II.
I like the last 10 minutes of Nemesis, the rest of the movie was ok, but not what I would have liked to have seen.
To date I say Inssurrection is the best of the STNG movies followed by Generation then FC.

Why not go all out and make it a Klingon POV show... disruptors blazing and batleth dueling all over the place.
If it looks at you funny, shoot first and question the forensics team later.
