WHY I WILL ALWAYS LIKE STAR TREK:
Well... I really donīt give a damn if the Enterprise voyages never end up actually happening because of some spinn off of the grandfather paradox...
And I also donīt care if people think that episodes donīt connect as well as they THINK they should.
Iīve been watching Star Trek since I was about 4 or 5 I think... so I have a special view on the matter and different expectations than most of the sci-fi gurus that jump from B5 , SG1, Andromeda and all the other mumbo jumbo to ST and complain that it doesnīt meet their demands.
In my view Star Trek has always been and always will be a fascinating show to watch as it inevitably forces you to question your own beliefes and convictions. In a way the episodes (from TOS to TNG especially, DS9 and VOY and now ENTERPRISE) are written in the tradition of greek tragedies... you are confronted with a moral dillema that appears to be unsolvable and as you watch you get the thrill of seeing how it is resolved. Now because of this episodes may be disconnected, story lines may be corny, there is one too many transporter accidents
but I gladly overlook all this for the thrill of watching a good Star Trek episode that basically says that:
if we work hard, donīt give up and do our best our future will be something we will be proud off.
And in my mind Star Trek is among the very few sci-fi episodes that doesnīt paint a dark and evil future where machines take over, people are killed by endless wars and we end up destroying our little blue rock...
No, Star Trek tells of a future where on Earth they mug people as a tourist attraction, hunger and war are in a long passed chapter of history and in the ST future we finally realized that it doesnīt matter if your skin is black, brown, white or green... or if you have 3 , 4 or no bumps on your head
what does matter is that we find strenght in our differences and work for a better tomorrow.
and thats why I like Star Trek.... so you see that it really doesnīt bother me if episodes donīt match or someone thinks the writers are used up...
