Well I would assume that they have learned to hate it at the very least for its fans who wont watch a minute of their stuff and can lead people away from their Trek. If it hurts them in the wallet then they must loathe it.

I always thought they hated Star Trek in general but saw it as a cash cow. It would explain why they feel the way they do about the shittie writing that they tolerate, and spawn.

They don't hate it, they just don't care.

However, now, with many comparing their work to TOS they probably are developing an intense dislike of it.

seems like they hate the whole franchise, since they're trying so dilligently to kill it with Enterprise

It depends on what you mean. They hate the "restrictions" that it places upon them, in that it holds them to too high a standard and requires reasonable plots and good characters to be put forth in order for their new series to compete. They obviously do not hate the franchise, because they're writing in it and it makes them a hell of a lot of money. It also earns them women.

Ronald D. Moore said this in an interview:
"The STAR TREK past—it’s challenging; it sounds like it’s fun on one level, and I thought that was an interesting way to go for a long time. But it has a lot of pitfalls to it. You have a very complex future mapped out. If you are going to go into STAR TREK’s past, say, pre-Kirk, you better have an iron-clad commitment to maintaining the continuity that’s been established, or I think you are just going to lose everybody. Because if you go back before Kirk, and you start screwing around, and you just don’t care what NEXT GEN or DS9 or VOYAGER established, or the movies, or even the original series, you just try to make it up as you go along, I think you just lost everyone. The whole franchise will just collapse, because it will have no validity whatsoever. If you are going to go there, you really better be prepared to truly put on the STAR TREK mantle and be the keeper of the flame. I think that is really hard for Rick and Brannon. It’s hard for them to do that, because they don’t like the original show. Let’s not mince words. They don’t like the original show. They have never liked the original show. They’ll bob and weave a bit here and there in public. But they don’t like it; they don’t want to have anything to do with it. If you are going to go before the original series and do something, you better have a change of attitude. You better have an epiphany about how much you love the original series. It’s all going to be about leading up to that."

No, Cthulhu blinks an eye and gets one step closer to awakening from his slumber in the sunken metropolis!!

Or "Every time an episode of Enterprise is aired, A Necron Tombworld reawakens."

Ask NecronLord about this... it's a 40K thing.
