#1 The older I get, the more and more Trek's Utopian PCness message irritates me. I liked the Original Trek, and it went downhill from there. Though I personally think giving the Enterprise a French Captain was the immediate death knell of the universe. Had Patrick Stewart been given a character with the temper and outlook like he played Gurney Halleck in Dune, it might have been a show worth watching. But to have the flagship of the fleet beaten down by every other race, constantly threaten to self destruct, and characters who seemed more like wooden cutouts than people, I just couldn't stand it.

Ah well, there's always Babylon 5 and Firefly.:)

#2 Still at a loss as to why they're cancelling ENTERPRISE after so short a run - DITTO for EVERYONE LOVES RAYMOND and other shows. ENTERPRISE, etal > NOT GREAT/BEST BUT NOT THE WORST EITHER. IMHO, more Networks + nanoseconds ratings > advantageous for celebrities to stay "typecast", espec iff they want to make acting their careers. Methinks the HollyLeft already know their hoped-for future USSA under Socialist OWG and prioritized deficit spending = America and the world aren't going back to the Moon for another several decades - the LeftLib agenda is good for electioneering and populist schtick, but once in power its out the window!? The HollyLeft focii is getting Hillary elected, iff only for the sake of electing a woman, ANY WOMAN, whom by chance is also a Nazi = Communist, Der Stalin/MarxPanzer "Clinton".

#3 Please be gentle with me.

I thought Picard was the best of the Enterprise captains just because he was French.

I thought TNG came up with some very unique stories in their own unique way; TNG was the best of the Star Treks.

I know. Blasphemy in Rantburg, so, as I said, be gentle.
