end of trek
By sitereader

Hello, this will be my first ever posting on this site or any other for that matter. As a fan of Star Trek since the beginning of TNG, I have been reading this site since I found it back in college. Like all of you fans, I too am very disappointed with the cancellation of Trek. But, there are some things to consider. For starters, many of you blame "B&B" for ruining Star Trek? If this is so, how do you explain TNG which was run by Berman from season 3 to the end, DS-9, and Voyager and did you hate this "Enterprise" which you fought so hard to save? Maybe you should re-direct your anger and frustration at the network which deciided that garbage like "America's Top Model", and "WWF Smackdown" are better. Of courese, those programs get higher ratings than Enterprise. We must all remember that Star Trek in any form ie TOS or Enterprise is a business and when put on network television cannot survive. How many sci-fi shows have been raoring successes on network television? I can think of "X-Files", maybe Lois and Clark, but not Trek. Remember that the origional Roddenberry show failed after 79 episodes with only competition betweem 3 television networks; a shorter run than Enterprise which has competed with 4 other networks and God knows how many cable stations. The problem isn't with "B and B" or with Paramount or the quality of the show. It is with the fact that people are not watching Star Trek. We see new crews, ships, sets but there are only so many stories to be told over 40 years, and maybe it's time to except that people are bored. Are we sick of the TNG cast? I love them and I loved "Nemisis", but no one went to that as good as it was. So let us say good-bye to this wonderful series, hope a new one comes up someday and then...hope that someone watches it, so it may survive. Remember, all good things must come to an end and...live long and prosper.
