Voyager's terrible scripts and appauling acting annoyed me. Clearly the only thing worse than a blue screen to act against is a cardboard spaceship.

Well, apparently the enhanced original series is a reality: Paramount Confirms and it is coming - at least in the US - starting on September 16th to 200 TV stations.

I like bad special effects...which is why I love 70-80's doctor who.
Imagine the Daleks...if you can conquer the univers with 4 wheels and a toilet plunger then you must be extremely powerful indeed....
...or in Trek, if your mysterious enemy can pulversise you into stardust, just by one of his cardboard made spaceships! That is much scarier and worrying than a sleek big metalic spaceship or a borg cube!
I personally believe that the reason that Star Trek is failing as a series is that they have wondered off too much from the original:
1) Instead of the brave new world style of the original we are now getting a 'soap opera in space' like stroyline...
2) Where is the sexist attitude? The blondes with with the extra short skirts? Most importantly WHERE ARE ALL THE GREEN WOMEN?! I miss captain Kirk's 'we probably come in peace, take us to your women' attitude...
3) Power ratios. It seems that while the original enterprise and the early NG one could more often than not pack enough power to kick some borg/ferenghi/romulan/klingon butt to outer space, the later series (Voyager, Enterprise) kept us on the weak spot. People are tired of us humans having to talk our way out of situations to avoid a doomed battle...
4) Where are all the green women?
5) WHERE ARE ALL THE GREEN WOMEN?
...perhaps we should just enhance the later series to add more green women and shorten the skirts (I still havent forgiven the NG director for disposing of Deana Troy's short skirt uniform after the first two episodes...)
What do u think?

Leave Star Trek as it was. The classics do not require being reworked. What next, sound in Chaplin movies? Colour in Casablanca. Blasphemy!
By the by, all Star Trek is good. There may be some bad episodes, but all the series were excellent. Never saw much Enterprise, though, so I can't say much about that one, but TOS, ST:TNG, DS9 and Voyager were all excellent!
