Star Trek won't improve until some good minds get behind the production. As long as Brennon and Braga are running it into the ground, it will retain the geek stigma. Was anyone frowned upon for liking StarTrek when Best of Both Worlds was coming in over the broadcast airwaves? No. The Borg ruled then. They were the first real threat to the Feds since the Romulans of the TOS...
But then Voyager went in after Roddenbury's death and made them just another group of villains. *sigh*
