A peer reviewed source on the opinions of Star Trek fans? LMAO.

Look at the polls in the XI forum. I, as a peer to Star Trek fans, reviewed it and found it good.

Paramount Pictures to enter into talks with at least two competitors to merge some aspects of its home video operations, people briefed on the negotiations said.

Paramount would maintain its own marketing and promotion of home entertainment.

initiated talks a few months ago with Sony Pictures and 20th Century Fox to handle the production, packaging, distribution and administrative elements of their DVD businesses, these people said. Any potential combination would be about saving costs, not about sharing revenue.

I think this is what the initial rumor was about. some aspects of its home video operations.

Yep. One can't even get the detractors' numbers as high as 10% on an anonymous Internet poll, and one on a Star Trek site at that - considering that giving people an opportunity to complain just about always skews negative (the "squeaky wheel" principle) and that hard core Trek fans are more critical than viewers as a whole, I'm being extremely generous to the critics by allowing that the percentage of approval might be as low as 90%.
