Topic: A translation to more of Berman lies and denial!
Quote:"Berman carefully admits the project's development has slowed."

Ok this is really stupid thing to do. Why would you carefully not say the project is being put on the back burner? Bermans a good liar he could of made up some excuse about being distracted by ENT . Regardless of that. I think that since he was being careful that the project is being put under the microscope by the "new management" by Paramount. If we are lucky it might be a sign that Bermans days are slowly coming to an END!


Quote:""We are continuing to develop a project that is in the very early stages,"

He is lying! It has been the early stages for over 6 months now. They even listed the co-producers along with Berman. The fact remains is that the majority of the script is "done" and it is being "rejected" by the new magagement. This ongoing development is nothing more than a smoke screen for Berman to change this script (which no doubt sucks!) into something better (that is even possible?)

Quote:" "It is in a little less of an early stage than it was the last time we spoke,

Here is an example of the lie. The sentense before he calls the project "in very early stages". In the next sentence the project is now "little less of any early stage". So I would like to ask Rick :So what is it? Where do you stand with this potential third bomb Trek movie?

It is NO wonder with this type of "workmanship" why Trek has struggled with being shit these past few years. Again it is very clear "MANAGEMENT" needs to be changed!

Quote:"but it is still too early to discuss it.

It has been 2 years since Nemesis. It has been over 6 months since we last got wind of this "prequel" movie that NO ONE wants and will no doubt bomb! SO WHEN is it a good time to ask? 2006? 2007? He is lying and just stalling for time because his contract is coming up for renewal!


Quote:"I think there will be some discussion about it in the next couple of months.

ANOTHER lie, now we hear "there will be some discussion..in the next couple months". SO what is it? He needs to get his own "timeline" straightened out!


Quote:"There is movement."""

If we are lucky Berman and this stupid prequel script will find some movement being flushed down a toilet!


Quote:"But whether that movement is forward or backwards Berman is silent on.

Well it is clear it is backwards because of his comments about "more time and more talks in the future". If we are lucky this whole project will get SCRAPPED!


Quote:"With the naming of new Paramount studio chief Brad Grey, the future of STAR TREK feature films may be unknown for at least the immediate future.

THERE is your answer right now!!!! Berman doesn't know what Brad wants with regards to Trek. With Sherry Berman knew "just put out crap because the suits want more hooker money."


Quote:"On the subject of ENTERPRISE, Berman admits ratings aren't as good as they'd hope for but that the show is holding its own on Friday nights.

TWO THINGS HERE....1) Hence Trek has shown that it can survive without the idiots of Trek (B&B) and 2) Season 5 is in the bag!


Quote:"The fans have spoken highly of the show this season, which is very encouraging to us, but the ratings don't reflect that, unfortunately," he says.

Since when does this jerk listen to fans? You have his girlfriend calling fans who see and make comments about obvious continuity errors "continuity pornographers". So this business of listening to fans is 100% bullshit! Any and all encouragement should be directed at Coto for "cleaning up the mess" that Berman and Braga left behind!


Quote:" "As to whether UPN is going to be interested in doing the fifth season--that is something we will find out about in the spring (note that this interview was conducted just before the 2004 December holidays).

There will be Season 5!


Quote:"Berman says, however, that he believes a decision on the show's future may be known in time to plan the final episodes of the season.

No kidding, they would need to make a series finale.


Quote:"On the writing front, Berman is quick dispell rumors that he or partner Brannon Braga are taking any less of an active role in the show this season, despite the promotion of Manny Coto to showrunner and executive producer.

He comes some more smoke to blow up the fans ass's!


Quote:"The fact that Manny has taken a stronger role in the writing has not affected, in any way, my participation in the stories and editing and production," he says.

This is a lie because Coto is now in charge of the "writers room". He is now in charge of "WHAT" is going to be happening storyline. In that one interview Coto says Berman told him to "Do whatever you want". The logic on this is very simple. For S4 there has been NO B&B scripted episodes. Since B&B have done nothing storywise (lets face it their ego would NOT allow someone else to take their work without credit!!!) they are doing NOTHING! HOW could B&B sit back and help "craft" the Vulcan arc knowing that the arc was to help FIX their mess? His idea of "production" is this "Manny write script that helps fix all the crap we did"! OH YEAH a lot of hard work there Rick!


Quote:"Brannon is also still actively involved in the series.

HOW?!?! BY getting Coto coffee? He is not listed on any script!


Quote:"It always amuses me when I read about people's perception about all of this.

LIE! It should be "it frightens me when I read about people perception about all of this because that means we are OUT!" His ego is still blinding him!


Quote:"The fact that Manny has taken more of a responsible role in the story development area doesn't mean what most people think it means.

Coto's title is called "executive producer" along with Berman. Cotos is in charge of the writers room A job that Braga USED to have. There has not been one script by B&B this year. Cotos name is all over the place when it comes to the scripts not B&B. So would someone please tell me HOW the fans preception of Coto doing all the work is wrong? Berman is living in denial about the fact that fans have embraced Coto and have all but spit on Berman.


Quote:"This is still a very collaborative effort, and Brannon's and my involvement is still extremely strong. It always has been.

LIE! If they were doing something they would of told you what it was. This was a perfect time to tell everyone what exactly are these two doing. The answer is very simple. Nothing!


Quote:" It's not a question of one person's vision versus another's. It is a group effort, and it always has been a group effort."

LIE! I didn't see Berman and Braga ever talking to other people about Trek. That is why they did most of the writting for S1 and S2 which SUCKED! Where was this "team player attitude" then? Only after the studio gave Berman a little talk did you see something new (Coto).


Quote:"Berman also hints at upcoming changes for Dominic Keating's character 'Malcolm Reed' in the full interview.

I am not going to read any more of this crap. So I am going to assume that the character change is "giving him more lines"? Poor Hoshi!


Quote:"This issue of the magazine also features interviews with Brent Spiner and remarks by writer/producer Mike Sussman.

The only comments I want to hear about Mike is about his views on him being "FIRED" from Trek.
