Is there anyone who doesn't like Seven??

I guess we now know why what's said on message boards doesn't dictate what those business professionals at studios do.

Because they still aren't sure what that thing called Internet is, and they'd rather stick with more 'reliable' things such as good old Nielsen ratings?

I think Paramount Studios that has been around for decades and successfully produced thousands of TV shows & movies, are well aware of the proper choices to make to best benefit them and the majority of their audiences.

You don't happen to be their spokesman/PR person? Good, this means they've finally started branching out and embracing those wacky new technologies.

Let's see: Close a multi-billion dollar movie deal or logging onto Trekbbs to check in with the fans?

Ahhh, choices!

I think the creation and introduction of Seven is when Trek really did jump the shark. The eliminated an original VOY character who had a complex scifi life path ahead and behind her in Kes, and went with a sexy babe to try to get slightly higher ratings.

A Borg assimilated as a child and later liberated from the Collective as an adult is not a complex sci fi life path?

I guess I should have stopped watching BSG in horror the moment I saw shirtless Bill Adama in "Resurrection Ship", since I certainly didn't think he looked good, and "it's not something I wanted to see". But, guess what, I couldn't care less and I realized that the scene wasn't meant to get me horny, it was meant to show Adama looking at his scar from the surgery, a reminder of his near death after the assassination attempt. I don't think that anyone else was bothered, either. I don't remember any viewers getting their knickers in a twist over seeing Adama and Roslin in bed, either - in fact, many people really liked that storyline and that scene. But OTOH, many, many fans really hated the love quadrangle between Starbuck, Apollo, Anders and Dualla - all young, fit, attractive people - and some even stopped watching the show because of it. Same thing with the love triangle/quadrangle on Lost. When people are so fed up with the show that they stop watching, it's usually because they hate certain storylines or characters, not because they've seen, for a minute or two, some bare flesh of someone they don't find attractive.

Excellent points. As nice as the quadrangle participants in both "Lost" and nuBSG were to look at the Adama/Roslin relationship was hotter - not because of appearances but because of the emotion and chemistry that were part of the relationship.

Could Voyager have taken more risks if it, like DS9, was syndicated? Most likely.


But it wasn't.

Teya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are you????????

 

[SPCTRE]

yes, the general male audience doesn't want to see and older woman being erotic.

Well... at least on behalf of my fellow members of the male 18-24 demographic, let me disagree with you here. We like our MILFs/Cougars/etc
