As long as every episode required an Away Team.

hmmmmmmmmmmmAs long as every episode required an Away Team.
Could we get Scott Bakula back?
I think, most of us, want to see the people responsible for the big decisions. Whether going to go to battle with a Romulan Warbird or breaking the Prime Directive. We don't want the adventures of Ensign Pimplenose, who has to check in with the ship every five minutes.
LOL: I totally changed it - see new idea.
What's wrong with Ensign Pimplenose????? He's a fine officer. Comes from a long line of Pimplenoses
The "I am going to boycott any future Star Trek productions because of CBS suing Axanar" comments make me chuckle. Those folks won't boycott Star Trek - they wouldn't have anything to complain about.

For better or worse, STAR TREK has always been about the captain and the decisions he/she makes, whether it's Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway or Archer.
Then ya gotta go with the illogical convention that the Capt goes with the landing party.
In - universe it is perfectly logical.
Which, being a TOS fan, I'm fine with. I don't think Away Teams without the captain, which are logical, are a good idea for a TV series.
to go over budget, you have to actually start. If you're just upping your estimates repeatedly after you signed the contract but before you ever show up, you are a home contractor.

OK, but I also liked his non-Trek books When Harlie was One and my favorite Time Travel books The Man Who Folded Himself.
I need to stop reading fast. I read that as "The Man Who Fondled Himself."
I'm like, "Does that narrow it down?"
Can you imagine, however, not being on the away team? I mean, the Enterprise-D had a compliment of what, 1,000-plus souls? But only like five people regularly got to go off ship. That has to suck for the other 995 people who never get to go anywhere.
Maybe they are Trek fans with the extended vacation package, and Q has reason to snark the Captain's seriousness.
David Gerrold was involved during the conception phase of TNG. As I understand it he and GR parted ways prior to the pilot episode being produced (this from a panel I attended in late 1986 where he was talking about his conversations with GR about TNG - but again he didn't stick around to be part of the actual production team. As he described it, his contribution was mainly telling GR "Look a generational ship travelling to another Galaxy and never mentioning Klingons, Vulcans, et. al. isn't going to work for Star Trek fans. If you're going to do it that way, why include 'Star Trek' in the name?"Many? He gave us Tribbles, and the first season of TNG. Do you remember the first season of TNG? Or have you tried to repress it like me?
If you read the book, you'll see that the Man who Fondled himself comes up as a question in the story...sortaI need to stop reading fast. I read that as "The Man Who Fondled Himself."
Apparently, that was the last time he understood Star Trek fans.
