Cyrus Kai Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Okay all, here's a tough one...I read an article yesterday in the Salt Lake Tribune by one Orson Scott Card. You may have heard of some of his books, like Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Homebody, Lost Boys, Enchantment and some others.I actually have to admit that I liked his stuff.But this is taking it too far!http://sltrib.com/search/ci_2721528 links to his article in the SL Trib, celebrating (that's right, celebrating) the death of Star Trek.For some odd reason, this makes me a little mad.Is this the end? Do any of the rest of you know Mr. Card and think he's wrong? Do some of you think he's right? What's to be done? Can we, the fans, resurrect Trek again?Speak out!And someone send a Nausican out to Mr. Card's place, would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryn Skylar Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I don't think this will be the end. The Star Trek franchise brings in too much money for Paramont and Viacom.Card is jealous of the success ST has had, something that he will never have.

T'Lara Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Who ever heard of him before this? Not me! To heck with him. Star Trek isn't dead. It needs a vacation. That's all. Much like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deran Beq Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Well, we will be watching the last episode of ST. Sadly enough. Course, we still have the reruns and DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denari Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I've actually met him and he is a pompous jerk. I agree with T'Lara. It just needs time off. The fan base is too large to let it just die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'Lara Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 It can happen. But I also think Paramount needs to back off. The fans have been smothered in bad Trek for years. They need to get rid of Piller and get someone in there who has a real revernce for the Roddenberry vision of Star Trek and what it stands for. Not someone who could have been the inspiration for the Ferengi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
