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."
Face it, all the Star Trek series sucked. Bad acting, Bad special effects, and they kept wanting to run episodes from previous series with the new actors.
I'll give TOS a break, as they were doing something new with a comparatively small budget, but TNG that everyone seems to rave about was crap. The first season was crammed full of -The Enterprise had to deal with a similar issue with Captain Kirk-. I lost count of how many times they made referece IN THE DIALOG to the original series. The special effects were atrocious! All of the, hey this is an alian planet, so we should make the sky pink by anging a big screen and shining colored lights on it.
TNG sucked, but we were all so excited to get a new Star Trek that we ignored that it sucked, and watched it anyway. Heck, don't you remember Season 1 where they tried to convince us that in the future men will be wearing mini skirts as official military dress?
Enterprise was by far the stronges Star Trek to be released to date, and the special effects were dramatically better than any previous Star Trek. The biggest problem for Enterprise is that there is so much decent to good Sci-Fi now, that it is being judged in a completely different class than any of the previous series.
He's doing quite well in his new career of playing caricatures of himself in movies, TV, and commercials.
