[QUOTE="DreadPirateMurphy, post: 2249237, member: 20715"] In the light of morning, something occurs to me that didn't last night. The last episode was NOT an homage to Star Trek. It was B&B's self-centered assertion that Star Trek is over now that "their" shows are over. They clearly saw themselves as the focal point for all things Trek. Take for example their quasi-whining in the press that Enterprise hadn't become "the Manny Coto show." Does anybody doubt that we will continue to see Star Trek comics, novels, games, trading cards, toys, etc.? Does anybody doubt that Paramount will return to the trough of a money-making franchise once B&B's mythical "exhaustion" passes? There was no reason to turn the series finale into an homage to Trek. The stars were correct to feel slighted, and the fans are correct to feel disgusted by the whole mess. Jolene Blalock said it best. They had 13 million viewers. Somehow, they managed to convince 11 million of them to go away. I place that at the feet of B&B. They failed to understand that the Star Trek fan base was both intelligent and somewhat obsessive. The progressive dumbing down of scripts, the attempts to "better appeal to geeks" through sex and violence, and the lack of attention to series continuity got progressively worse the further from the legacy of Gene. B&B strike me as typical TV execs, the same type of bozos who ruined Firefly and Crusade. They think they're better than the audience they serve, and they can't help but condescend as they meddle with shows created by people like Roddenberry, Joss Whedon and JMS, folks who actually get why fans watch. If the end of Enterprise means that somebody new may take over the creative control of the franchise, then it was well worth the sacrifice. [/QUOTE]
