well to be honest, Star Trek needs to go off the air for awhile. They've lost their direction. They started a downhill slide in DS9 (to boldly stay put where no one has stayed put before) but resurrected it in later seasons when they made it interesting with intergalactic war. Voyager was OK (though it was no TNG) but then Enterprise. . . it was like they hired a bunch of T&A writers to come in and try to write a space show. Seemed like every other episode the hot vulcan came down with some disease that could ONLY be cured if a male member of the crew (curiously never the doctor) rubbed her naked body down with oil. Don't get me wrong, star trek has a long tradition of eye candy, but this was ridiculous. They let the sex not only get in the way of the story, but screw up the story by making it implausible (um. . give her a shot. we don't need to cop a feel to cure intergalactic flu).
Then there were the issues of running into aliens that we weren't supposed to run into until TNG (ferengi being one of them). The whole show was stupidly managed from the beginning.
I'm all for more trek on TV, but only if it's good. They need to take a break until Berman retires.
