the role vfx
By Gary P

Visual effects are a wonderful thing, but they as we have all learned from Enterprise and the Star Wars Prequels, they CANNOT replace good story and drama. In fact, I think they stick out more when the story is bad. For example, because Episodes I and II lacked a good story, I became bothered by the over-abundance of 'fake' rooms and sets. However in Episode III, the drama and story was better, and my brain chose to ignore the fake-ness of it all because they were merely vehicles to carry the good story. (I apologize for the Star Wars references on a Star Trek site, but I wanted to hit the point home). Same applies to Enterprise. The VFX were awesome throughout the entire series, except for the last season which had noticeable cut backs in the cgi rendering department. But who cares? The drama sucked! A series that blended the two perfectly was.... You guessed it. Deep Space Nine. Does anyone know if its airing on Spike TV is attracting new viewership to the series? They air the show twice a day at noon and one o'clock. Although those times are less than stellar, it's perfect for someone like me with a TiVo.
