What I think is that what is needed is a movie-generater. Pre-created objects and figures, voice generation, pre-scripted actions. You want your character to kick, you click on a target, type in some numbers and your character kicks. As for voice generation, we had a VG on our 8MHz amiga that wasn't bad, so we should be able to do pretty realistic on a 1.47GHz, shouldn't we?

I'd even settle for them FINISHING WHAT THEY START!

Come on, name one non-Star Trek series that went to a successfull, non-network-forced conclusion.

This rant brought to you by me getting interested in a cartoon, only to find out that it only ran for one season.

No you will fail to do so.
There's too little character development, and the ones I've started to read resulted in immediate boredom while I do like to read, and like SciFi.

I don't know about this network stuff, but Voyager was made to a planned finish, right?

Ahh, but have you read the NGC2 stories, I thought there was quite good characters there, altough it was a tad bit long and perhaps a bit booring and everyone dies....

Voyager was Star Trek and doesn't count. It had a big name behind it.

A live action movie based on any SE IV stories would be very difficult to swing, I think. But the Othaglot & Cane story might make a decent animated feature. And it could be done by a fairly small studio these days with computer assisted animation.
