Yeah, you're right; I guess what I was hoping for was at least something that wasn't flat boring, and I've long accepted that the Star Trek/Star War's franchises long ago became so predictable that you could watch the trailers and more or less get the picture. In more way's that one). My difficulty is that I grew up with Ray Bradbury, Philip K Dick, Isaac Asimov, Paul Heinlen, to name a very few. And one of my hero's is J. Michael Straczynski, who,
despite Warner Bro's managed to get his series to air - even though it was sabotaged by the 'suits' at the studio. the thing is, the suits now run the studio's, so you can't get a 'Star Trek' movie any more; instead, what you get is a blockbuster - totally formulaic - hence my jibe. It all boils down to passion, you either have it or you haven't. In short, I'd rather watch a Desilu episode any time than the crud that now passes itself off as 'Star Trek'
Either you care, or you don't
Wow, I just realised something, you're not into Si-Fi; sorry, my bad
