Save Star Trek
[b] Now, before you post, read the whole thing. It's late, I have a cold, and i'm not in the mood for "OMFG, j00 st00pid tr3kk13, U suxx, U h4v3 n0 lif3! ". [/b]
In 2001, Star Trek: [i] Enterprise [/i], the most recent installment in the franchise, was launched. From the start, fans were skeptical of a pre-Kirk series. But it gained a very strong following and continued for 3 seasons. But that strong fanbase was needed at the end of the 3rd season. Enterprise was looking at a cancellation. And it wouldn't have been that bad, if not for one thing: [b] If Enterprise was cancelled, the future of all Star Trek would have been very much in doubt. [/b]
But we raised money, and sent letters, and made our point clear; Enterprise was not meant to just be tossed aside like some garbage reality TV show. And we won. We won Enterprise another season. The whole thing was not unlike the movement to save the original Trek from cancellation back in the late 60's.
But now, some high-up Executives at UPN have decided to cancel it as soon as the 4th season is over. (Some of you may have already seen my "outspoken" opinion of that in the other thread). And the Enterprise fanbase has once again been called into action. We need to save Enterprise! The world needs Trek! Please, just click the link in my sig, or visit startrek.com, or do something.
[u] To the haters/flamers [/u]
I already see these replies coming; "You suck", "Star Trek sucks", "Get a life", "Go -blam!- yourself". And it is to you that I direct this part of my thread to.
Back in the 60's, trying to talk about current political and social problems in a TV show was unheard of. No show dared tread along the lines of racism or the Cold War. And then came Gene Roddenberry. He had a vision. A vision of a better future where all races and colors and nations cooperated. He disguised his "rants" or "lessons" in his episodes. For instance, in [url=http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/TOS/episode/68800.htm l] Let that be your last battlefield[/url], he talked about racism without going right out and saying "Racism is horrible." He taught us lessons without us even knowing it. And all the Trek series to follow the original have followed that tradition of teaching morals without preaching them. But, i'm probably ranting.
My point is this; Star Trek is more than just another sci-fi show. It's a hope. A hope for a better future. And we need Trek. It's become a part of our culture. So please. Support it in some way.
Thanks.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darth Eletius Enterpirse is just a rip off of Voyager. For Example= they both have -blam!- themes and could offend other people.[/quote] Personally I disagree with this. I would say Voyager is a not particularly good copy of TNG, and enterprise is relatively original, but just not good.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Pink Menace "OMFG, j00 st00pid tr3kk13, U suxx, U h4v3 n0 lif3! " It had to be done. I can't believe it wasn't done before. What's happening to the Forums? Well, I am not an avid Star Trek watcher. I don't really like it, but I don't really hate it either. I saw a few episodes on the Sci-Fi channel once that I though ewre really neat. One was where the robot on the ship had emotions or something, so they had to go get him but then he found other robots (Borks I think. Some weird-ass name like that) and his brother! It was all really weird. Then he lost his emotions. Poor robot.[/quote] UNfortunaelt i know and rember this episode, even though the last time I saw it was about 3 years ago or more. CAnt remeber the name of it, but as any trekkie would know, those other robots are borg, and the robots he mentions with emotions are Data and lore. God I really maybe need to get more of a life.

I love the ewoks. Gungans can die a muliplicity of painful deaths, but the ewoks rule. Still Star Trek beats Star wars any day. Except maybe some of the Star Trek films, like the first (what on earth are they wearing?), the 5th (erm, all that god rubbish) and Nemisis (so clearly an attempt to copy Wrath of Khan, one of the best of the Star Trek movies). Even so, some of them beat Episode 1, and many parts of 2. [Edited on 3/1/2005 1:04:24 AM]

whilst it is not as good as some of the others, it still should be saved.

Don't worry about Star Trek. You do not need to watch or care about it. Now, go out and buy Star Wars Republic Commando and play it forever. [/Jedi mind trick] Screw Star Trek. Let the force overwhelm you and come to the Dark Side. Hahahahahahahaha *fart noise*

Ah, and I also am very dissapointed with the BBc not showing Star Trek any more. Not everyone has sky.

Loved all the treks up until voyager, which was really quite mediocre, but I still watched it. Enterprise was a pile of absolute -blam!-e. It was an ok sci fi show, but it just wasnt star trek. None of the feel of the others, and Bakula was crap, like most of the other cast. I hated him in quantam shift, and hated him in enterprise. Still a shame it is being cancelled as it does make it really unlikely that they will make a new Star trek. If they do cancel I just hope they start a new series in a couple of years with a decent storyline. Hmm... Have to say new TNG would be rather bad, as they are all really getting quite along, and it wouldnt work, and there is no way to continue Voyager. The end was too final, and the story would just not work in a film set in the alpha quadrant. DS9 was quite final too, but they could continue, but again the set up wouldnt work for a film. They need to have a fresh idea, find some good people to play them (preferably not anyone well known). Just hope they avoid the idea i heard about before enterprise came out: Star Fleet acadamy. Eww another teen drama, but this time set in the star trek universe. No thanks. I think maybe a miniseries would work for something, but would suggest that no 'proper' series would be made. Oh, and star trek wastes star wars any day. I like both, but evenn in the decent films the only ones that came close to decent acting were Alec Guiness and Harrison Ford. And the lateset films were some fo the most mediocre films I have seen in a long time (had the story all planeed out my arse). [Edited on 2/28/2005 11:34:17 AM]
