Well, IMHO, the reason the franchise has taken a turn for the worse lately is that TPTB are trying to "appeal to a mass audience."  The problem is, the producers think that the way to appeal to a wider audience is to add more T&A along with more stuff being shot at and blown up.  That's why the newer Trek series and movies have women in tight catsuits or getting goo rubbed on them while dressed in their underwear and huge battle scenes with multiple ships flying around, shooting, and blowing up.  To me, that's not the reason Trek has survived for almost 40 years.  I think the reason is because of intelligent writers tackling controversial subjects which made viewers think.  Sure, Captain Kirk had his babe of the week, but most of the episodes of TOS revolved around the characters and intelligent story lines.  Just my two cents!

I agree whole-heartedly. :lol:

Perhaps we should all write them stating/requesting the same thing that you just said...I think they do try and listen to the audience.

I also think that part of their problem is that they're trying to be too much like other series, and not unique. A common problem unfortunetly ("Oh, they're doing a reality show, why don't we?")

Personally I think that language and simaler history binds America and the U.K. closer. But I'm an American, so I don't know how the people of the U.K. think about it :)

Thanks :)

The only thing I think I'd miss would be listening to music and Star Trek :)

trekkiemage, what grade are you in?

I'm in 9th grade.

Um...For some reason I'm on there twice... B)

I voted Voyger, even if it wasn't a real ending, the idea that they had just done the impossible, literatly. They'd cut a 70 year trip into 7 years, and if you think about it 7 years is a long time (at least to me...nearly half my life) and that was the first time any of them had really been home in seven long years, and just the emotional impact of that thought. B)

I love ST IV! One laugh after another B)
