I agree manny!
By Psihunter

I agree with Manny, then again, I'm biased. ST needs more marketing and promotion. They fixed the quality issue in season 3 and 4. Now, they need to promote it. I was happy with the aggressive promotion for the Augment arc, and sadden that little promotion was given for the Vulcan arc, and hardly none for the Romulan arc. I'm sorry, but if you are really trying to revitalize demand for your product, you increase the quality and then you shout as loud as you can "come back in, we've fixed it, we've fixed it!"

I want to see this show on Sci-fi, I think it would have potential there. UPN has abandoned the Sci-fi market, but Sci-Fi channel loves sci-fi stuff. Again, I know I'm biased, I'm fan hating that a show I like is getting cancelled. But, if they're making money this season, why not throw dice on marketing and see what happens? What do you lose, for one year you have a low ROI. Fine, but in the long-term its important to test the waters on marketability and profitability given a full-fledged marketing effort for a high-quality trek product.

I'm afraid that the next time UPN and paramout has the balls to try their luck on marketinga new Trek product, they wont have the usual maturation time to get the product where it should be in terms of quality. Remember how every TREK show revamped near season 3, and finally found its stride in season 3. Well, if the next Trek franchise falls by the same percentage rate as every successive Trek show, it wont last for longer than one season. Learn from the mistake of cancelling DS9 and VOY too early, you have a trek product that has finally found its stride, and its voice. Roll the dice on this baby and see what happens. Again, the only thing you have to lose is a one-time marketing fee for a year. Its better to risk it on a high-quality product than a potentially mid-quality or low-quality product.

That's just my opinion, biased and all . . . then again . . .
