"This is a great day for Cobb County students," said Michael Manely, an attorney for the parents who sued over the stickers. "They're going to be permitted to learn science unadulterated by religious dogma."
I suppose that he should thank religious dogma for the word "unadulterated"?
The sad fact is that the majority of people do not want to be challenged by their TV
Who are these people? If I want to sit back and be entertained, I will watch TV with my kids! The reason I like(d) these shows is because they (used) to push me, challenge me -- but I guess I am in the minority now...
Maybe it's not that the story is getting old -- we are! It's not so cool that they are flying through space with anomalies and wormholes and such -- big deal we can almost do that right now! What is the *next* level and what are you going to do about it? It was the conflict and the overcoming that was cool. We want to see a problem and have Jordi solve it with *new* technologies, not just inverting a wave form or polarities or other crap that most of us understand and say to ourselves, "Hey, I thought of that a minute ago and it won't work because..." Get some Physics department heads to be consultants, maybe a contribution from Stephen Hawking. To me, ST has always been about "What can new technologies to for/to me?"
The minute/episode you stop thinking about the implications of what was presented and what it would be like to be there you lose interest, and (yawn) Caption "Oh Boy" isn't doing it for me.
