Trek Producers Will Provide World A Break
David Crumpton writes "Star Trek Producers have finally agreed that Star Trek fans are oversaturated with the show, and are planning to provide a break. This does not mean they wont bring something new to the screen; they will just wait a few years. They are convinced the ratings dropped due to the show competing against other Trek re-runs."
when this same sentiment is expressed on slashdot at least once a week, every week for over a year?

I think that goes for OS's too

I see dumb people. And the worst part is, they don't even know that they're dumb. They don't see each other. They just believe what they want to believe.
That, and the stupid Enterprise theme song they would never apolgize for.
I consider their changing it for a parallel universe to be an apology.

The problem here is that most episodes of "Enterprise" suck. The writing, the directing, and the acting is horrible.
Here is proof of the accuracy of my analysis. Consider "Star Wars". You could argue that our society has been saturated by "Star Wars" themes: action figures, late night jokes, the 2 sucky pre-quels, etc. Yet, why will "Star Wars III" rival the the popularity of "Star Wars IV", "V", and "VI"? Good writing, directing, and acting is the answer.
"Right, you are! At the opening in May, see you!" exclaims Yoda.
For the "Enterprise" finale, the writers should use the situation in Tibet as the basis for a story. That would be an excellent basis for a story, which just might bring back some disenchanted fans.
"May the force be with you!"
Umm, ya, that's the ticket, blame the fans ! Damn oversaturated lot of 'ya ;)

I am tired of hearing this "trek needs a break"
Me too, what Trek needs is for Rick Berman to die.
Seriously, die. Because he's got too much power and money to let go, and HE'S killing it softly, with sucking.
You can't take the sky from me...
>They are convinced the ratings dropped due to the show competing against other Trek re-runs."
somewhere in a darkened room rick berman sits against the wall...with his fingers in his ears and quitely whispers...
"I'm a GOOD Star Trek producer...and GOOD Star Trek producer...by stories are epic gems...EPIC GEMS!
the fact we know so much about Garek indicates he was a little more then just a tailor ;)
Otherwise he wouldnt be that interesting.
No way, that was the most interesting part about him!
Don't you remember that episode where Garek came up with a revolutionary way of sewing the seams on the pants of Cardassian uniforms? And then Kiera was all like "We can't have a new method of sewing Cardassian pants come from a Federation space station!" and Cisco was like "It will be good for diplomacy, so I'll let Garek market his new pants" and Odo was like "My people don't wear pants". Then it turned out that what Kiera was really worried about was that Garek's new seam technology would stop the Cardassians' pants from splitting in the midst of battle, which is how Kiera's people had won most of their battles. Then her shuttle gets hijacked by some rogue Cardassians, and they're wearing the new pants! But she faces her fears and defeats them, in the process learning that courage and faith are more important than the seam of your pants.
Best episode ever! I wish they had more tailoring episodes.

Voyager was better than this.
Whoa whoa whoa, going a little too far there are we?
I may be crazy, but I have the sneakiest suspicion that Garak is, in fact, more than just a simple tailor. There's something about his eyes, but I can't quite pin it down.
Oh well, I guess we'lll never know more.

Is that really an episode? Or did you just make that up?
If it's a real episode, it sounds GREAT. If not, you should be a writer.

The best Trek series I've seen in years just ended its season a few weeks ago.
Battlestar GalacticaIn other news, Saddam Hussein declares he will provide the Iraqi people a break from his rule, due to oversaturation of his dictatorship...
Is that really an episode? Or did you just make that up?
A little of both. I wrote it, and it was almost an episode, but it got rejected, probably because of all the "I'd like to get into your pants" jokes that I refused to remove.

Being on UPN probably didn't help much either.
It hasn't helped that they have shown fucking baseball games the last two weeks.
If there have been new episodes, I have been unable to see them! >:|
Guess I'll have to find out the episode number/names so I can find them on eMule or some sort of bittorrent.
Damned UPN! Even more-so, DAMNED SPORTS!
bork bork bork!
How PC is that ? Why you ask. Remember Vulcan women don't look manly ; Vulcan series with spock needing to go home to find a mate ,Vulcan women dress like women.
They made her hair like a man and dressed her as a man. What a 'penis' turnoff.
Bring Back Kirk and Spock and the miniskirts with hot women. Where is the good action ? Hot women like in the original series. Most beautiful chicks in the world ! = Good ratings.
...was that the vulcan chick was not nearly as hot as Seven of Nine. Naked chicks + Borg = Good show
Obviously you never watched the original series, which was all about baseball. Remember "The Omega Glory"? Its talk about the "yangs" and the "kohms" is nothing but a thinly veiled reference to the New York Yankees and Commisky Park, home of the Chicago White Sox.
Remember the scene where Kirk holds up the flag and sings the national anthem?
Remember the three-run homer by Sulu at the bottom of the fifth?
Remember Spock and Sox commentator Harry Caray singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in the seventh inning stretch?
Remember Scotty's cry of "Captain, my arm cannae take much more of this!"
Ah, the good old days, before ST:Voyager and MLB:Free Agents. Sigh.
