Guys, check out SyFy Portal. (http://www.syfyportal.com) They contracted a guy, Erik Jendresen, to write a script for XI, and he did an astounding awesome job -- a Romulan War trilogy! You won't hear much about Erik Jendressen elsewhere, he was pretty much exclusive with that site.
They pass up a Romulan War Trilogy, which would bring in people that love action films, like war films, and like Star Trek all alike, and which would also fill the only gaping holes in Star Trek canon that exist with something solid, for.. what? "The OC" in space?
Stab me with a sword and drag my fandom body through the streets like Achilles did Hector already.
It's not all doom and gloom though. As long as BOTF2 / Supremacy comes together, I could care less if the movies suck so long as I'm making my own every time I open the game on my desktop
2008 though is a ways off, too. Who knows. We'll see. It might even change between now and then. Just not an encouraging sign at all.. I even walk away with the feeling that Paramount brass really wants another failure so they can finally shout from the mountain top "See? We told you all so -- Star Trek is uncreative, unprofitabel, and has no future ; not to any fault of their own, of course! . . . </sarcasm>
