Post Comment to: All Good Things... STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE Cancelled: Full Press Release From UPN

Message you're replying to It'll be back By Postdoc I was never a fan of Enterprise, I always thought it was totally ill-conceived from go; the quibbling about how they couldn't have communicators like Kirk's because of cell phones. I mean, it's the show's universe that's important isn't it. All they had to do here was the adventures of Captain Pike-- slam dunk. Instead they added TNG technology to a pre TOS era. They tried to be anti-trek, then ended up borrowing ideas from everywhere to get the old fans back. I appreciate that, but this show just turned me off by disregarding basic tenets of the show; exploration, violence as a last resort, and most of all curiousity. How can you have a Star Trek show with a science officer who doesn't believe in time travel on a ship whose drive bends time and space in a series where the main plot is suppose to be a time war? The mind reels. This week the sets from TOS are up again. Somebody out there should look at those designs and figure out why they still work. I'm sorry for people that will be out of work and for those to whom this is the first Trek they were introduced too, but that's TV, a rough game in many ways. I wonder if in the current TV climate of tight budgets and reality shows whether a Trek that focuses on exploration can be mounted well. I think a lot of people who worked with Roddenberry thought they could do Star Trek as long as they had a ship and Starfleet, but it was never about the ship and the uniforms and stuff, even though those where designed probably as well as anyone is going to do them (TNG very well done in design) it was about the people. I mean, this crew wasn't even friends. Somebody on these boards described TOS as "flower power" in space and without all the "hippie" baggage that's about what it was-- really good people using their abilities to make stuff right and enjoying themselves at the same time. I see a lot of dreary, dour, depressing TV out there, so maybe Trek can't fit into this scheme. But who knows. But remember SNL, "It's just a TV show!"
