I just now discovered the existence of the posts above that were signed “Scott Gammans”. I have three things to say:

(1) I did NOT post any of those comments. A cursory comparison of the comments shown above with the comments I’ve posted elsewhere on trekmovie.com will show that the juvenile coward who posted the above messages in my name doesn’t even have a full command of the English language. I was **NOT** the author of any of those messages.

(2) I don’t even know who Adam Cohen is… but Adam, you have my apology anyway for the rude comments that were maliciously posted using my name. Please rest assured that I was not the author of those comments.

(3) To the person who was lacking in sufficient manhood and felt he needed to post messages under my name instead of his: I bear you no ill will, since it is useless to get angry at a mental defective such as yourself. I just hope that someday you will find the courage to seek out the mental health care that you so obviously require.

ttfn,
The *Real* Scott Gammans

There have been many missed opportunities down the years to expand on Trek in other media, beyond the obvious games and books. Of all the big franchises out there, Trek should have been pushing into webisodes and straight-to-DVD/non-US cable productions!

Why Paramount has never considered this route for any of the previous Trek franchises I don’t know. Direct to DVD would allow the fans to enjoy their favorite characters again, the cost is far less than a theatrical film and almost guarantees a profit because the DVD could be released theatrically overseas before making it onto DVD shelves overseas.

TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT could all get a real shot in the arm with fresh adventures and not being under the gun of a weekly production schedule. Two or three DVDs a year could be a positive shot in the arm for the entire Trek franchise.

And, In fact, I am…. a wonderful Sangiovese to be exact.

To be candid, with the exception of a little bristling about Star Trek feature film revenue that involved some very unnecessary epithets, this has been a thoroughly enjoyable thread to read.

It has been interesting… funny… informative… respectful… and with a compelling progression of sub-topics.

Just for the record, I wasn’t Berman bashing in my earlier post. I think Berman & Company did some terrific work through TNG and DS9. Voyager was certainly watch-able but it just never “got there”, ya’ know?

Enterprise, while very lackluster in it’s first two seasons, was extraordinarily enjoyable through it’s third season. I started to really care about these people as they struggled with the Xindi (did I spell that correctly?) story arc. And even though it’s fourth season was somewhat uneven, I was disappointed it was cancelled.

I was just really miffed that it’s series finale went the route it did. I like Frakes and Sirtis but the plot was weak and it just wasn’t a proper send-off.

At any rate, to mirror MichaelT’s warm and considerate sentiments… I too hope you get your wishes whether they be about Star Trek or any other ones as the holiday season approaches.
