Be very afraid...

The math teacher where I work is an überTrekkie (he and his wife spent spring break at the Star Trek-themed hotel in Vegas) and tossed me this link:

Star Trek: The New Voyages

God knows we needed to have a new set of folks to play out the last two years of Kirk et al.'s five-year mission.

The zeal of some folks for a frigging TV show scares the crap out of me sometimes.

I downloaded one episode. I barely made it through the opening credits. That is the worst acting I have ever seen. It makes Shatner look like John Gielgud. Seriously, that tripe is getting deleted NOW.

Clearly they're just trying to stay true to the original series.

This stuff makes the original series look like Shakespeare.

I think that is just a group of Trekkies who got together and did these... i doubt that this show willl ever see real TV.

Insignificant.

The show should be judged on its true merits:

Is there super hot chicks in some sort of skin-tight costumes --

A) Yes

or

B) No



It's that simple....in my oversimplified world, anyway. Was the acting good in Voyager? Most certainly not. Was it a GREAT show?


Certainly...or at least 7 out of every 9 episodes.

Just a thought...how about a time-travel crossover between this thing and "Boston Legal"?

"YOU! You're..."
"...Denny Crane."

:lol:

Figure out a way to mix in Crossing Jordan and Charmed, and they'll have at least one loyal viewer..."must see TV"...probably with the mute button firmly pressed.

"THE broad?"

My man, you have cheated yourself out of the most spankable show in TV history for the last several years.

Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan wearing as little clothing as possible....any more questions?


The mute button is your friend.

If you fear Trekkies, you might wanna work out a little more.
I'm not worries about their (low) potential physical threat, but their integration into the dork-ruled technology sphere.
