Good....
By Dukat

I loved the Armada games-- and some of the other Activision stuff was pretty decent as well.... I think it will probably be hard to see other games of this quality for some time, but forever? no way.

But this is good in many ways. First, it will light a fire under Viacom's butt. They know that there is no way to duplicate the success of Trek. There is nothing else like it in TV... The bigwigs at Viacom will have to take a look at what is happening and what needs to happen to fix it. Likely they will not take this low road of Stewart & Berman in blaming the fans... instead they will have to do research and figure out what is losing the fans...
Trek has made billions for Viacom, and it is not likely that they will say "screw it, lets go do something else"-- This may have a bigger impact toward bringing Ron Moore, Ira Behr, Nimoy and others back into the creative process than any amount of Internet chatter ever could.

As far as the merits, Activision will probably easily get to terminate their contract, but probably won't get much else. The complaint states that Viacom let two Trek series expire, but did Activision really have an expectation that those series would go on ad infinitum? Surely Paramount never made that promise.

I just realized I probably need to get to Vegas to see that Trek experience soon, that may be next on the chopping block.

The only merchandising I would really like to see is the models. why can I not get Trek models anymore? How many of those do you have to sell to be profitable?
