Re: OT: A Dismal End For Star Trek
I don't see how it could be that bad(ie suck less then the original serieses), I mean the series was made by a guy who seems to have had a fetish for green women and gogo boots.
As for Deadstar's comment, they didn't "fall from grace" they did SUCK as much then as they do now, it's just then suckage like that had never been done before and was fresh and original. It peaked our imaginations. Images of spaceships flying around and alien women in gogo boots and dashing handsome heros who were portayed by imcompitent actors leading armies against evil. Sucked then, sucks now, just now we're tired of it, and we see it for what it is.
If they had done an Enterprise where Abe Lincoln fought Kubla Kahn, what would you see on mesage boards? From what I hear they did get that cheesey....
The only thing that made these not suck 30-40 years ago is our own imaginations.
I'd wager that the only good sci fi series ever that I can think of was the twilight zone, and maybe the outer limits.
