[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 1491950, member: 4275"] I think Star Trek *has* changed. Next Gen and DS9 to me were realizations that Gene Roddenberry's universe, his vision of the future was a reason to watch every week just as much as interesting characters and cool effects and pretty girls. However the next series, Voyager, did everything in its power to take that universe which people had been watching and reading and imagining about for 30 years and pushed it into a corner. Enterprise seemed to have the potential to tap back into the basic appeal of Roddenberry's universe. This gave me high hopes for the show. I wanted to see first contact with Klingons and Romulans and early battles and internal struggles that shaped the burgeoning Federation. I wanted to see the first Starfleet Academy graduate... the first formal alliances with Vulcan and Andoria and Tellar... the first war with Romulus. Instead what we got was Suliban and time travel and a bunch of other ideas that seemed to have little to do with the actual universe. I'm not saying the show's creators shouldn't have added their vision to Roddenberry's. Certainly when I think of TNG I think of Cardassians and Ferengi and sauver seperating ships... and when I think of DS9 I think Dominion and Bajor and Maquis. However those were additions to an existing universe. Voyager and Enterprise have tried to create something new out of whole cloth, with the occasional half-hearted attempt to placate the fans with the occasional Klingon. Chuck [/QUOTE]
