Eeh...
By Sxottlan

I've stayed rather quiet on this, but I can't help but just shake my head at this whole deal. There's optimism and then there's naivete and this whole deal is simply naive as to how television works.

The legalities to accomplish this would probably eat up what meager amount they've saved to begin with. There's all the unforeseen costs that would crop up during production. There's so many variables that I don't think these people have even wanted to think about.

And yes, even $3 million is meager for these studios. They have the money already. Paramount is just no longer interested in producing Trek at this time. They know they've always have a hardcore loyal audience. The problem is they're not enough to keep the show going anymore. The constantly dropping ratings can only be blamed on so many other factors before coming back to the fact that the interest just isn't there.

Besides some of the self-righteous, back-patting of some involved (this drawn out attention-getting about the donation that was already well-known is the most recent example from people who seem to have zero experience in PR), there's also a streak of selfishness to the whole thing that smacks of absolute desparation that I find embarrassing.

I'm not too happy that Enterprise is being cancelled when it's getting good, but I've come to accept it and find those wanting this to keep going and going and going are coming across like addicts looking for another fix. Can't this be accepted with some dignity?
