Why should they admit any responisbility for the failure of Enteprise and the last few movies? It’s obivously the fault of nitpicky fans who don’t want to swallow anything that has the words “Star Trek” attached without question.
Seriously, you couldn’t see this coming when Roddenberry died? I was a total Trek Geek for years, but a year into Voyager I couldn’t stand it any more and walked away from it all.
As someone whon likes Star Trek but is not a hardcore fan I’m glad that someone finally explained the Bergama thing. I just thought that previous posters couldn’t spell.
NoClueBoy I couldn’t get the third link in your first post to work, does it require registration or something?
I just double checked the links, and they all work for me. No registration required for Trek Today.
A cliff note version of link #3 is that Berman is saying “I don’t know why the fans and even many of the actors didn’t like what me and BugBoy did to ENT, esp the finale. We know Trek! Really! Just trust me, we know what’s best for you. If you didn’t like it, the problem must be with you.”
I think having your ass saved by a hologram was the final straw. That is worse than having your ass saved by a kid.
Bergama should just go work for the Bush Adminstration. We’ll let Cheney and Rumsfeld run Star Trek. Insurrection? What insurrection?
I think ST would be best served by no-one producing anything ST related for the next, say, ten years. Only after some time has passed do I think someone new (and new is important) can take it on with a fresh attitude that could produce something fun again.
