Star Trek: Can Star Trek return to weekly television?

I never really got into Babylon-5. And I wish governments did try to be squeaky clean.

I generally dislike the Star Trek universe on general principle--it's too preachy and the Federation tries to be squeaky clean at all times. Boring. The only Star Trek show which ever really kept my interest was DS9 and that is because it is so similar to Babylon 5, the standard of science fiction shows against which all other science fiction shows (set in space) are to be measured.

I think I'm measuring against BSG these days, which is setting most shows up for failure. Did like both B5 and DS9 though, and the whole dark side of Starfleet/the Federation on DS9 was one of the better story arcs.

Yeah...I really thought DS9 was going to end with a movie about the war with the Dominion...I was surprised that it all played out in the series instead.

Scott Bakula doesn't appeal to me as an Actor, but, despite that, I think there are probably a good 10 episodes out of the first two Seasons of Enterprise that I really enjoy.

S3, actually becomes pretty dark, seeing the things they are willing to do, to win the Xindi War, and S3 is a Season long arc, which is mostly pretty good (with a few stand alone crap episodes), and I really love the Mini Arcs in S4.

Additionally, when I watched it when it originally aired, I had personal bias about what the show should be about, and what Canon was, so, I was fighting against that the whole time. Letting go of that bias, and just watching the show for what it was, I enjoyed it more in those first two Seasons, though, there still wasn't much great in those two Seasons

She always liked you more--that is so totally unfair! *pout* *rant*

C'mon...Quantum Leap rocked.

...and what Canon was...

Yeah, this is always a problem for me.

Paramount has agreed to allow this crowd funded movie Axanar to be produced. Should be good.

Hmmm well not so fast.... CBS Paramount have issued new guidelines that make fan films a thing of the past....

Well, that is just to avoid objection. And some of the stuff (must be official merchandise etc.) will be hard to enforce or even determine.

But it's certainly going to limit them.
