It’s amazing, but I agree with you. It was a terrible thing to do and it left poor Picard with nothing – just to give the line to a boring forgettable villain.

About as meaningless as the destruction of the Enterprise-D(ten years after the original Enterprise went up in smoke in Star Trek III). Especially where DS9 was ripping off of Babylon 5. Other than that, I think you covered the rest.

Kind of how Abrams decided to turn Spock into an intergalactic orphan through the destruction of Vulcan. Now he’s painted himself into a corner – how can he top that? I foresee an endless series of ‘splosions, blowing things up “real good”, accompanied by his infamous lens flares. Talk about meaningless…

I would gladly send him off to play in his Star Wars universe and let someone truly visionary helm Star Trek.

Please, I think you should.

One of my complaints – okay, two – is not listening to what the audience wanted or valued and pissing like dogs on the franchise to forever leave their stink by snuffing characters (Kirk, Data, Picard’s family) on a whim and for personal glory or cheap thrills in the name of drama – not for the good of the story or the franchise. What they did to Picard’s family, burning them to death in a fire, just to give Soran a quote was utterly unforgivable, completely trashing the memory and enjoyment of Family, one of the favorite episodes of Next Generation. It was like how they snuffed Newt and Hicks in Alien 3. Meaningless.

Yes. Rick Berman and the administration taking way too many trips to the well with the Star Trek franchise(i.e. DS9, Voyager,a dn Enterprise). The recycling of the same old storylines used before, over and over again. Poor writing on the parts of Brannon Braga and Ronald Moore. The problems of continuity established and mishandled during the production of Enterprise. Shall I go on?

It would be helpful if you demonstrated a knowledge of what those mistakes were, or could be, to understand your post better. Care to elaborate?

The days of video rental are certainly coming to an end. Pretty soon, all Blockbusters will be gone. Times are definitely changing.

Those are some very good questions. Hopefully, the powers that be at Paramount have played their cards right and not made the same mistakes that the previous administration had made.

We’ll know the answers in two months.

I love reading all this on my © 2013 Dell ™ workstation running © 2013 Microsoft Windows ™ operating system. And I watch all my disks on an © 2013 Oppo ™ Blu-ray player and online downloads. © 2013 DISH ™ sucks. © 2013 Blockbuster ™ is quickly vanishing out of existence. The © 2013 USPS (tm?) is slowly disintegrating, so don’t count on the mail for too much longer, especially Saturday mail. © 2013 Netflix ™ screwed the pooch with that screw-the-viewer debacle a couple of years ago. Shills have it so much harder these days.
