Battlestar Galactica would have flourished on the golf channel
By GreatCzarsGhost

As long as we keep blaming things like the day or time Enterprise was on or the network or what kind of spark plugs were in Bakula's car.. the problems with Star Trek wont be fixed and will indeed doom any new show or movie.

I believe the problem with Star Trek is us fans. I'm sorry to say that but we keep demanding shows based on Gene's original concepts from the 60's. American/World culture has changed a lot since then. Current TV and movies is all about Action and Conflict. With few exceptions, as soon as you get "conceptional" your audience changes channels or dozes off.

Now, a show can incorporate concepts into the action and make it work. That's why Battlestar Galactica works. For the next Trek show/movie to be successful, it will have to be more like BG in concept. Trek and us fans need to change with the times. We need to let this great Trek universe adapt to a changing audience.

Battlestar Galactica would have flourished on the Golf network. The more I read articles blaming stuff like this the more I fear Trek is not going to recover and return. Bummer.
