Poll Should the fans be running the show?
- Thread starter Timofnine
- Start date
The show should be run by professional TV creatives.
Big bonus if the creatives happen to be fans of Star Trek too - without Akiva and Terry and Henry we wouldn't have gotten anything close to the show we actually got.
I'd imagine a good chunk of them know what they want to sing and hire a composer to translate their ideas into music.
If you put two fans in the same room, then you're likely to get at least three or more opinions on any given issue.
Fans writing songs for Maroon 5 would probably be an improvement.
Henry Alonso Meyers (sp?) is one of the producers of Strange New Worlds.
ETA: added the S to Meyers.

Thanks.
Stuart Baird wasn't a fan of Star Trek. RDM was.
So there's that.
But if we're talking Average Joe BBS warriors? There's a long list of reasons why it's a no, but one that sticks out would be the zero percent mass appeal premises they'd concoct e.g. a Klingon-focused series, or the adventures of the multidimensional Enterprise-AA in the 48th century.

Yes.
But not so much us fans on the internet. Actual professional writers who happen to be fans.

If fans are running the creative decisions what should they focus on?
If on the other hand, you have a show that's being run by somebody who's utterly contemptuous of the original source material, you get William Dozier's Batman (you know, the one that starred Adam West and Burt Ward).
You mean, my favorite Batman?
Insurrection has entered the chat
While that's an excellent point, considering how much of a bastardized version of the source Dozier's Batman had been, an argument can be made for someone not fond of comics capable of creating a great adaptation (though an extremely rare case), such as Kenneth Johnson, who brought The Incredible Hulk to TV, and as far as i'm concerned, its the best, most mature take on the character ever put before cameras.
Hey, at least it isn’t Velma.
Who among those that worked on Insurrection was "utterly contemptuous" of the source material?
Batman was great TV, funny as hell. Insurrection was also funny as hell. Captured the brick to the head moralizing spirit of Omega Glory perfectly.
The Batman comics had been silly for much of the time prior to the TV show (especially from the late 50s to 1964) and didn't start becoming really dark and serious until after the show was cancelled and Dennis O'Neill (with artists like Neal Adams) brought the comics back to the original 1939 roots.
