Why Startrek is Dead (Opinion Thread)

I thought that the TCW would've been an interesting Chicken-or-the-Egg paradox, assuming that we get aliens that were involved in the era, such as the Romulans or the Klingons. I didn't like the Xindi (although, as a future species...) as a plot point, not as a species. Same with the Suliban and "Future Guy."

The Klingons and Romulans were better written adversaries.

The Klingons and Romulans were better written adversaries.

Because they were classic and easily understandable. They both had their own culture. What do the Xindi or Suliban have?

Couldn't tell ya. Missed that season.

I never could figure out Roddenberry's later comments about it being non-canonical - it's certainly better Trek than the fifth movie.

So? Roddenberry didn't consider Star Trek V to be canonical either, or at least considered some of it's elements to be "apocryphal".

When the fans can't even agree on what they want

You're wanting millions of people to all agree on something entertainment-related?

Too put it bluntly, I think fandom is its own worst enemy

It's not fandom, it's people.

And there's an unwritten rule among Star Trek writers that they are to never refer to any event in the movie, no matter what.

There are two reasons I stopped watching Enterprise after Season 1.

1) The writing sucked (boooooring). Ooooo... Let's see T'Pal get some blue gunk rubbed over her half naked body by a half naked man. That's sure to catch my interest... not.

2) Scott Bakula was horrible. I've seen less wooden acting in a marionette show. I had really high hopes because I loved Bakula in other tv series and movies, but he was awful in this role.

That comes to the writing, too. He got better in se 3 and 4 (especially 4).

And who is responsible for season 4 writing?
