the problem with star trek is that it's been non-stop shoved down the throats of tv watchers since...what, 87? and before that, the movies...

the next generation was really good. good writing, good characters, good stories. it went 7 years and deep space nine was a little rough at first but it eventually was good too. then voyager, aside from about 5-10 episodes, was a huge hunk of shit that went on for 7 years too long. we're looking at almost 15 years of continuous declining shows and being on UPN. Then right away, here's Enterprise. and jesus, does it suck. the movies have been getting worse and worse returns because star trek has become the butt of too many jokes. people think trekkies, not the show itself.

they would be wise to let the franchise sit for about 10 years and let people miss it. keep it alive with comics, books, and online stuff, but let the shows stop. i used to like star trek, but its been too much.
