Hello all! Sorry, but I must comment on some photos I found on StarTrek.com’s site from the recent protest of the Enterprise fans.

I think I’ll use a very simple format for my rant. For each photograph, I will write a comment. In other words, if I had a directory structure such that there are two subdirectories, one called photos, and the other called comments. In each directory, there is a file with identical name but different extension. To write it out in something simpler to understand than English, here’s a small bash script:

for x in `find photos -type f` ; do
	echo photos/$x
	cat comments/$((echo $x | sed -e 's/jpg$/txt/g'))
done

Anyway, enough of this…here’s my rant:

Exhibit 1:

I have to agree with this poster, Kirk would save Star Trek. Conincidentally, that’s what’s going on. UPN doesn’t want Enterprise because it is not profitable. It would be if it was real Star Trek.

Exhibit 2:

Yes, and I think it is irresponsible to protest against stopping the production of Enterprise.

Exhibit 3:

It must have been relatively quiet day at Paramount…

Exhibit 4:

You’ve got to be joking. Yes, even Vulcans have emotions, but they are _SUPPOSED TO_ supressed them. As for the other member of the “best couple”…urgh…

Exhibit 5:

Yes, Paramount made a mistake in 1969. But let’s face it, Original series wasn’t too much of a hit when it was first on the air in 1966-1969. Its popularity was much greater in 1970, until it lead to the Star Trek:The Motion Picture, which lead to 9 more movies, 14 seasons of good Star Trek (1 season = about 24 episodes), 7 seasons of mediocre episodes, and 4 seasons of Enterprise. What a bad way to end this series of series. :-(

Note: Now we are getting to the more bizarre photos…

Exhibit 6:

Let’s save Enterprise because the dog is cute! What a brilliant idea!

Exhibit 7:

No comment.
