    Well they haven't made a good movie since 1991 and the tv shows have been over for about a decade now. (I don't count that abortion of a show from a few years back).

    A lot were lost in the Star Trek wars, not to be confused with the Star Wars trek.

    i miss voyager though. janeway was a woman that knew how to say 'do it' - or mulgrew was. agree though. lost interest when they brought out the enterprise tripe.
    i guess star trek belongs in the golden trek era now.
    and i cant abide by the majority of trek fan fiction (who supposedly keep the shows alive through it) - id rather remember it as it was. having a nerd moment!

    you dont seem to get random grungy folks wandering around in trek t shirts these days. but that may have more to do with the way the prices of the things got out of hand.

    star trek - keepin' it cult

    Voyager killed off most, Enterprise almost finished off the remainder.

    Last movie in 2009 was very good, with 2 more sequels on the way.

    A trekkie revival is imminent. Phasers on stun.
