MichaelJohn– solid work, my friend.

God knows I did NOT mean to sound like a fanatical poopy-pants.
In fact at several points during my long winded tirade I stated that “whining” was getting us nowhere. Including my own!

My Hitleresque suggestion to petition CBS was a way to get everyone to shut the F**K up about it. I also have a tendency to climb on to my soapbox now and then and spew off my opinion.
I was born in Scotland so I cant help it. Its in my genes.
(All that haggis)
As far as CBS goes, after Space Seed I sang their praises and said in a warm heartfelt manner (no giggling please)
“Thankyou for making Star Trek interesting again” and I meant it.

But now that your good humor has gently beaconed me down from my soapbox I would like to quote Mr. Shatner in that classic SNL sketch;
“For crying out loud, its just a TV show!”

In closing I would like to thank the following trumvirate…
Thankyou hitch 1969
Thankyou Adam Cohen,
and thankyou Michael John for setting my weary care-worn feet back on a sane path to indifference and calm solitude.

cheers.

dude…

“Yes, we will come prepared for a long and vocal demonstration against CBS with speeches and banners, and of course, in full Star Trek costume!”

holy cannoli. you made me laugh so hard that i made piss in the pants.

not just that, but the entire post. WAS GOOD. was mac in the pants like dochterman loving apples and his vision more than gates selling our souls the vista xp office 2007 crap.

Dude if i was BIG PHAT SANTA™, I would give you both the Wii AND the Xbox 360. You deserve it totally.

best!!

We the “true and faithful” legion of Star Trek fans, hereby petition and demand that the CBS digital team be required, or FORCED, to continue working on these remastered episodes during the Christmas holiday!

We believe that there is no excuse for the pathetic production level of only one episode per week, and find it outrageous that the CBS team could be contemplating any time off for Christmas. This is especially true since less than 10% of the episodes have been remastered to date. This is even more aggregious since the first three remastered episodes were not up to standard, and didn’t meet our high expectation levels at all!

As loyal fans, we are completely unsatisfied with the current production rate, and we believe that CBS Digital is not working hard enough, or fast enough on this historic project. It is our collective opinion that CBS should accelerate the remastering process as much as possible and, if necessary, require all those involved to begin working 12 to 18 hour shifts per day, until they are completed!

We, the long suffering Trek fans, demand that beginning January 1, 2007, seven newly remastered episodes be delivered to our television screens each and every week, for our consideration and approval. We also demand final authority and “veto power” to approve/disapprove each and every episode, before it’s eventual released on DVD.

Furthermore, if the remastering of any episode is deemed unacceptable by the fans, CBS should be obligated to “re-remaster” that entire episode again, until it meets with our satisfaction. It goes without saying that financial costs and restraints should have no bearing on this project whatsover, being the historic nature of Star Trek TOS, and the remastering process.

In conclusion, let it be known that IF our demands are not met we will, as a last resort, march on Washington DC and demonstrate in front of the Enterprise model, at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum!

Yes, we will come prepared for a long and vocal demonstration against CBS with speeches and banners, and of course, in full Star Trek costume! All the news services will be invited, and they will provide live coverage of this historic and unprecedented show of Star Trek Fan Power!

By meeting our simple and reasonable demands, CBS can avert such an ugly and embarrasing demonstration, and the possibility of any future boycotts of CBS products. It will also prove that CBS does indeed take seriously the wants, needs, desires opinions, feelings and suggestions of Star Trek fans worldwide.

Yours truly,

William Tiberius Poopypants
