A few things to discuss about Kes

[Christmas Canon Spock]

comments can hardly be described as "hyperbole".
Unfortunately they are true. It's the absolute truth about what Trek has become.

Many of the truths we hold on to depend greatly on our own point of view.


I do not see destruction when I can watch Star Trek whenever I want and ignore what I don't like.

Garak was humiliated and destroyed in that book by McCormack. Does anyone dare to change that or are they all slaves to what could be regarded as "Star Trek Books Canon"?

If the Star Trek books were canon, I wouldn't have cause for complaint about Harry anymore. He's received the promotion he deserved in several of them, and in none has he been kept at ensign after Voyager's return.

But such a scenario don't make good stories.

But it makes happy endings.

Insurrection was horrible. I never watched These Are The Voyages but what I can see, that episode is not very popular among Star Trek fans.

My trouble with Insurrection is that I didn't agree with Picard's position. I'm like Spock; I tend to believe that the needs of the many DO outweigh the needs of the few.

But if they had to make it, better to end TNG there and move on to the DS9 and VOY crews for ST X.

It was a mistake to come up with a retro series after VOY.

Especially since they really didn't. ENT had transporters, phasers, photon torpedoes... it was just more of the same.

Use the force, Luke.

Maybe... but I also dislike it when good characters get a raw deal. And quite a few of them did. I didn't read the book Lynx hates so much, but I agree with him about Gowron and Kes. And I think the Ferengi as a whole got screwed in the end, too.

I just have a different mindset. Much of the stories I enjoyed as a child were Downers, even with Star Trek. I no longer go into the happily ever after premise of endings depending on the story told.


I get the passion to a degree; I don't care for Kirk or Data's death (and I don't even like Data). But I can appreciate the stories. The older I get the less I want characters to last for ever.
