Viserov Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 From what I'm reading, Paramount, the studio who produces Star Trek... NOT the network that airs it, really wants to let Star Trek take a break for a few years. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonBlur Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 From what I'm reading, Paramount, the studio who produces Star Trek... NOT the network that airs it, really wants to let Star Trek take a break for a few years. :( 585476713[/snapback] No, that's just "talk". The only reason that has come up is because of the dismal ratings Enterprise is getting on UPN. If the ratings were higher or at least on-par with what they want, this discussion wouldn't even be taking place. So, no, it isn't being cancelled just because some Paramount execs are saying "gee, you know, it would be good for the series to take a break." UPN is the United Paramount Network, as in, subsidary of Paramount, which is why Star Trek no longer airs on Fox as it did before UPN was created. So it's pretty much just the UPN people saying "look, the ratings are too low to pay for the show with ad revenue.", that's about it. That said... I have a very exciting article for all of us courtesy of Sci-Fi Wire: Straczynski Wants To Reboot Trek If you want Trek to continue in the near future, this is our best bet. Enterprise will be cancelled, it is VERY unlikely that UPN/Paramount will change their minds about it. But as for another show? Well, with Straczynski at the wheel, I think if enough interest is shown, they will at least consider it, and it would be the best Trek in years. Without this project, it will be quite a while before a new Trek series comes out, not to mention a MOVIE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just decided to remove what I said previously since it isn't really relevant. He really got that one out of the way quickly, damn. It's still incorrect to say Straczynski isn't interested, it's just that he found out Paramout FOR SURE was giving Trek a rest, so he figured it would be pointless and took the other offer. I am VERY interested to find out what the new series is! A new series, a new B5 movie... damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuantumTrickery Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner. And I wouldn't talk to either of them about Star Trek. I'm far more interested in their performances in various broadway related shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
