Can Boobyprise Get More Pathetic?

I'm sure it will get worse. Soon, they'll be copying other Enterprise episodes (horrible thought, you think), and then, the fields of idiocy will cause Bozo and Balless to implode.

Yesh, copying episodes of there own crappy series in that series. That would just be an exponential nightmare of suck.

Of course it can, but only by cutting the budget massively. Retaining to hobo writers of course.

I think hobo writers would actually be more talented.

Read his books. David Brin is a much better writer than B&B.
Behold the Postman and cringe! True it's horrible but you're right, he's not B&B horrible.

Just because you did not like the move they made of "The Postman" does not mean that the book was bad.

Give the other crap David Brin turns out and the sheer stupidity of the basic idea, I hold no hope nor desire to prove you wrong. Instead, I'll save my brain cells and read something better, like the scrawling on the toilet stall.

Just leave it to some italian B-movie writers. Whatever they make, it's guaranteed to be better than the worst Voyager episodes.

I propose we brng Roddenberry back to life, and have his zombie kill B&B. Then, Roddenberry can erase everything after Voyager, and do Trek the way it was supposed to be done.

Or, just kill B&B and let someone with 1,000 times their intellegence and writing abilities, like a piece of cheese.

Is this the part where I wake up from the nightmare and find out that Enterprise and Voyager was all a dream?

We all wish that. Though I don't think that anyone here could imagine B&B controlling ST in there worst nightmares.

Or even better, get Roger Corman to do it. Not only would he do it much better than B&B, he would make some quite humoristic ST episodes too!!

Or bring in Rockney S. O'Bannon & David Kemper. They're not busy at the moment.

Hell, bring in the former head writer of Andromeda for good measure. Then watch Enterprise dramatically improve as these folks can actually WRITE good episodes!

Hey, I still have hope that O'Bannon and Kemper will get to go back to Farscape. Hmm, maybe JMS could work on Enterprise. Though that'll be damn unlikely.

JMS wouldn't touch Trek with a ten foot pole and has said so. He hates modern Trek as much as we do.

Which is why it is damn unlikely. He could make it better but he ain't going to, because he hates it nearly as much as us.

One thing I've learned in 30 years: the answer to "can it get any worse?" is ALWAYS "yes!"

Imagine this: you're watching the intro to Enterprise and it says "guest writer: Kevin J Anderson...."

True. But, he should die for the mental image I got.

Think about it, Neoolong, KJA could produce a whole new series following the adventures of Wesley Crusher: it could be called "Star Trek: Young Starfleet Officers...."

Okay, I'm stopping now before someone hunts me down and kills me

I won't hunt you down and kill you.

But when you're going home one day, when you're going to school/work whatever, or even when you're at home, one of my men is going to light your house up with an ion beam, and 30 seconds later it's going to rain DU railgun rods on your neighbourhood.

Heh... I live in Baltimore: orbital bombardment in my neighborhood could only raise the property value.

I even thought of how it could be even more awe-inspiringly awful: get the director of "Starship Troopers."
