Until Berman and Braga are gone....
By The Flashlight

...I will never watch another episode of first-run Trek. Period. Until Paramount/Viacom come to their senses and understand this, they have permanently lost someone who used to consider TNG and DS9 appointment television.

And I sure as hell won't be shelling out any more money to watch BermanTrek at my local multiplex. Another prequel with characters nobody has ever heard of before? The Romulan Wars? Only hard-core Trek nuts who have memorized every line of dialog from Balance of Terror will know what the hell it is. Expect an opening weekend box office of about $1 million. Not to mention it will have to be hamstringed by Roddenberry's incredibly wacked idea that the war occurred without humans ever actually seeing a Romulan! NEWSFLASH! This was STU-PID! Not everything in TOS was a good idea! But you can bet that if they try to get around this very dumb obstacle, Trek Zombies will howl in protest that "canon" is being violated, just like they did when the Ferengi showed up on Enterprise.

This isn't like Star Wars, where Lucas is king and totally in charge and answers to nobody. He has destroyed his franchise with 1 mediocre and 1 incredibly shitty movie and nobody can do anything about it.

Berman, OTOH, doesn't own Trek, and theoretically has to answer to the Paramount/Viacom bigwigs. It is incomprehensible to me that he and Braga are still in charge of Trek.
