Yes, very loose plans for a new movie with new characters. Berman thought Nemisis was terrific when I thought it sucked and the movie was the worst performing of all Trek movies - $43 million domestically. It does not creat a void in my viewing schedule as I disliked most episodes and made no special plans to view or tape. I did watch occasionally. I also think it was cancelled just when it was showing some improvement in stories and trying to tie back to the Star Trek universe it had effectively ignored if not wrecked continuity until now. T'Pol was the only interesting character and then only when they gave her a good story. Keckler sums it up: Did you read the book of tech, And do you believe this utter dreck, If Bermaga tell you so? Do you believe in reversing pole Can a phaser save your Trekkie soul, And can you teach me how to mind-meld real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with Trip 'Cause I saw you squeein' like a drip. You both dug into pie. Man, you dig that drawlin' blond guy. I was a rabid teenage science geek With an action figure and some Klingon-speake, But I knew I was not a freak The day the franchise died. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/story.cgi?show=71&story=7426 I don't like her reviews but I liked this. -- Gary Denton Easter Lemming Notebook Easter Lemming Liberal News Digest - I think Brin was on to something in 'Earth' in suggesting the right to vote be dependent upon subscribing to some opposing viewpoint media. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
