TrekUnited Campaign Ends

ForteMaster writes "TrekUnited, the controversial campaign to save Enterprise from cancellation, has ended its campaign today. Interestingly enough, the article mentions that "a multiple of the money raised by TrekUnited so far" was being offered, with "further details to be released shortly". A case of counting the chickens before they've hatched, maybe? Here is some commentary from TrekToday on the subject."

Where do I send money to if I want to make sure Paramount continues to not make Star Trek shows?

Just askin', is all.

In other words, you really do want to save Star Trek from ill-concieved and poorly executed spinoffs?

Genius!

I think I'll start a "Save Charmed fund."

Has it been cancelled yet? I haven't really watched the WB since Buffy & Angel were there. I'm going to assume that it has been... or if it hasn't, it's probably "on the bubble." I seem to recall hearing they tried to shoe-horn Rose McGowen into the cast after firing that 90210 chick. Anyway, the show sucked, but if Voyager and Enterprise had a core "loyal" fans, I bet Charmed does too.

The hope of seeing Alyssa Milano's legs on TV again ought to fetch me at least a few grand from the same sort of ignorant boobs as those who donated to TrekUnited.

Finally, the end of Enterprise

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near.

And I will see my dream come to life at last
Enterprise has finally been cancelled!

I'm not a big fan of those Star Trek television shows, but I do like that Jam Jam character.

Now my hopes are dashed

[RealProgrammer]

I guess I have to move. It's been nice living here in the basement, but Mom isn't getting any younger and complains about fixing breakfast now. Oh, but wait -- there are still reruns! I've still got the original series on VHS and TNG on DVD! Still, it'll be harder to lure chicks down here without a new episode coming on.

Idea For Next Show

"Vulcan Bay Watch" You heard it here first.

Just when you think it couldn't get worse

[noewun]

The site also stated that many Trek crewmembers are now working on executive producer Brannon Braga's new CBS series Threshold, which stars Brent Spiner (Data).

The night that show premieres may be the night I throw away my TV.

Extra points if you can hit B&B in the head.

Luck for them it's over...

[IdJit]

Now they have more time to camp in line in front of Grauman's theatre for Revenge of the Sith!

Star Trek is like a burnt out rocker, it's been on the road for years, it's out of creative juice, it's just going through the motions. I say, let Trek rest up a few years, you know, like get some new material and come back stronger than ever!

Metallica did that and we were "rewarded" with St. Anger. Bleh... =P

Shatner School of Punctuation?

I think, this poster, went, to the Shatner, school, of, punctuation. ;-)

Kirk: Bones. What is wrong with this post?

McCoy: He has taken an analogy way to far.

Kirk: Can you fix it?

McCoy: Dammit Jim. I am a doctor not a moderator.

Yes I can say: "Temporal Cold War". But it hurts.

Re:Show Quality Is Often Irrelevent

[Chris Burke]

Isn't it, perhaps, more plausible that they canceled the shows because no one was watching them but you?

Oh, but that's just another level of the conspiracy!

Re:Show Quality Is Often Irrelevent

[Anonymous Coward]

why exactly would Fox put on HUGE numbers of leftist shows and immediately cancel them for ideological reasons?

Same reasons we still have elections here- you can't make a liberal really feel like crap unless you raise his or her hopes first.
