eek No more Star Trek on tv????

It seems that the long running series of programmes from the Star Trek franchise have finally come to and end with the final episode of Star Trek Enterprise in the can.

As an avid fan for over 30 years I find this quite a sad event for Sci-Fi fans every where and although there will be repeats of such great series as Star Trek Voyager, (my personel favourite), there apparently are no new series of Star Trek planned for the future?

Are any of you big Star Trek fans? Do you think there should be another series or has Star Trek run it's course?

Regards & "Live long and prosper"

Cool

Star Trek has been the most successful Sci-Fi series in televison history with many movie spin offs too. The problem is that it may just have run it's course now and after over 30 years on air, it may well be that there are simply no more Star Trek stories to tell.

As for Stargate SG1? Absoultely brilliant!!!!!!!!!

enterprise was a last ditch attempt and it didnt work, enterprise tried to capture what made stargate sg1 so popular except they stuffed it up. Stargate captured the minds of so many people because it was the Military as we know it today, with recognizable rankings, uniforms and guns that viewers, even if they wernt militarily inlcined could understand and identify with, right down to Cheyenne Mountain Base, Even with Tealcs weapons, they were few but were consistent and we all got to know them. Stargate played on the "What is the government up to" conspiracy that is alive in many people. Ask people if they have ever wondered if the US govt is up to something similar after watching a few episodes. Its this reason ill say that Atlantis wont last nearly as long...

Enterprise tried to play on that by taking it into the not to distant future (2050 from memory) but it still didt work, they couldnt find that happy medium between hard-core sci-fi fans which they had for all these years and the average viewing public.

Some fair points there Mike maybe it was to near our own time to make it work and the popularity of the other Star Trek series which was set some 300 years into the future where mankind had setteld it's disputes on earth and was involved in a much wider interplanetary system of governance.

An optimistic view of the futre that many, myself included, could relate too and hope for.!!!!

Do you yell at people when they call it Star Track instead of Trek?
