Defense Mechanism
By ShadyLite

"There are a lot of people who criticize us for saying what I'm about to say but I do believe that there was some degree of fatigue with the franchise. I think that we found ourselves in competition with ourselves. I think that after eighteen years and 624 hours of STAR TREK the audience began to have a little bit of overkill with STAR TREK and I think that had a lot to do with it."

Rationalization is defined as the act, process, or practice of devising self-satisfying but incorrect reasons for one's behavior. It's a basic psychological defense mechanism. We make "socially acceptable" excuses for our mistakes in an efort to "save face."

If I had a lover who consistently told me the way she liked to be "loved," yet I insisted that my way was best and ignored her requests for that which she craved, eventually I would find myself alone with no one to "love" but my friend Rosey Palm and her five friends. If I was a car salesman and a couple were to come in wanting to buy a sportscar, yet I offer them the best damned station wagon on the lot because "I" think its a great car, they will leave to go somewhere else and I will have accomplished nothing. Face the facts, Freddy. Just because "YOU" think your way is best doesn't mean your audience will. Basic principle of business: Get something others want, and let them have it... for a price. RATHER than bad business practice such as this: Get something YOU like and offer it to others... for a price... not selling it because you are not understanding the basic concept of supply and demand.
