I think Rick Berman is the most underrated, most underappriciated individual well, like, of ALL time in ANY field... Think about it... When did TNG become good..? It was when Berman got the keys to the castle.. And when he did, he created this über enjoyable, warm palette, that was limited I must admit, but it was the Star Trek we came to love; the Star Trek of the Prime Universe... I think that if it wasn't for him, ST would have gotten a lot darker from 1995 on, cause television in general was getting darker... But he stuck with the ST philosophy, and despite the hatred for VOY and ENT, it was still ST, generating an untouchable positive vibe, that no other series can match... So all these people that bash the NuTrek films because it isn't 'ST', mostly they're Berman-bashers as well... But they're bashing the man who was responsible for the 'ST' they love the most... It a strange paradox I guess...
