I think being the best reality show is akin to being the biggest midget and I, personally, find The Amazing Race no more redeeming than say, The Biggest Loser. But, I am an inveterate channel surfer and I always stop for black people - so I saw some of this year's Amazing Race. Those sisters

I agree with you, I think he did what he thought was best for the series to bring more people to view it. I am sure all the other movies needed was good writers that could have saved it. Now on the flip side of all of this--if a new show was to spun from the movie or future movies perhaps it

The scifi channel has picked up a few good series like that. I don't know what their budget situation is right now, but I'm sure that they aren't doing much except for the stargate series and ghost hunter shows. On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 12:33 PM, wlro...@aol.com wrote: I agree with you, I think

I know. This is very similar, only the fan base in more dedicated, much larger and has over 30 years of creative source material. So the resistance should not be that shocking From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:scifino...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of George Arterberry Sent: Sunday,

I think BSG isn't a good example, because it's a solid 70s franchise that had only a small cult following. Even hardcore scifi fans like me weren't invested in BSG. It hadn't spawned several series, movies, hundreds of books, etc. It wasn't in the cultural zeitgeist like Trek. And as I pointed

Aaaaggg! No there's no reason for me to say anything else. I am undone! (Sniff!) :) I hear what you are saying and agree a lot. But like Sincere--the only other person here who's made this point--I simply don't see why reinvigorating meant rewriting history. I still feel you can explore

Don’t be undone. Redo . We respect your opinion. I respect your opinion. And The killing of Vulcan, Kirk’s dad, Spock’s mom….. I did not like it. But while we are at it, I did not like the destroying one third of the population of earth on Enterprise either. However, that alone did not
