It wasn't a "great" show but had potential to be much better. The problem is Viacom I believe has been trying to destroy this Billion Dollar franchise for years.

I remember not too long ago the ST Video game maker sued Viacom for not promoting Star Trek better and coming out with new Star Trek ideas.

In my opinion ST started going down with NG and all the shows in the "holodeck" and morality. It really didn't show many "new worlds and species" like the first did after the 3rd or 4th season.

Think I am one of the few Trekkies that didn't like Deep Space 9, yet loved Voyager (although it was a little too PC). But in that era it was hard to top Babylon 5...... that should have been a Trek.

I think part is bad writers and part is that Berman and Viacom have no direction to take the franchise and won't give up control to someone who can take it to a higher plane.

As for Sci-Fi they are blowing ST away and have since coming out with Stargate.
