According to this article, and they should know, Scott Bakula will be the captain on the new Star Trek series.
I have always been a big fan of Star Trek, and I was a big fan of Quantum Leap as well. I very much look forward to having Bakula back on TV every week.
On the other hand, I’m beginning to wonder if Paramount has heard the show-biz motto “Always leave 'em wanting more.” As big a fan as I am, even I stopped watching Voyager after a couple of years. I mean … how long are we going to drag this out? Even I, who enjoy a good time-travel tale as much as the next guy, began to get fed up when to have a story to tell, they kept turning the show into Time Trek. Voyager has been particularly egregious in this regard.
Anyway, I just wanted to share.
