Robin, I agree that we should be open to new ideas. There was a LOT of resistance to TNG, but ultimately it surpassed the original in almost all segments of the fan base. Nevertheless, BG, whose premise was something of of grand quest, with great demonstrations of self-sacrifice, nobility, and unity, has not been fairly treated. Ronald D. Moore, whose exploits behind the scenes of Star Trek are well-known, has "re-envisioned" the original prestine idea into a pornographic display with corrupted officers having sexual interplay with non-organic beings, in at least two lengthy scenes, and promises that sensuality is the theme of the new vision. Utterly absurd, and Moore is overcome by his own hubris. I admit that I will plan to watch, but will continue my obligation on a commerical break-by-break basis. Just my $0.02. :-)
