February 2, 1995 Western Carolinian Features Has Star TrekRun Out of New Frontiers? Earle Wheeler Associate Editor The setting (this universe): I'm talking to my brother in his dorm. The new Star Trek series has inspired us, but now... ME: I'd love to stay, but I've got to go work. HIM: I wish I could get paid for writing an article about Star Trek. ME: No you don't. I'll probably offend everyone. HIM: Just don't mention Satanists. ME: Why would I? There weren't any Satanists in Star Trek, but if there had been, they would have been tolerated. Star Trek was all about tolerance of different belief systems and cultures. HIM: Don't bash it too bad. ME: I'll try. The setting (TV): A universe with endless marketing potential. We will begin at the beginning, as most people do... To boldly go where no man has gone before... The first testosterone-packed Star Trek series premiered eons ago in a culture far, far away. The Starship Enterprise™ warped through space looking for new planets, like green Earths, red Earths, and orange Earths. They also looked for new races, like green humans, red humans, and orange humans. And finally, they looked for new civilizations, like alien American Caucasians, alien Africans, and alien Mongolians. It was an innovative show. Racial harmony was dealt with on screen (like when the half-black/half-white alien was trying to kill the half-white/half-black guy) as well as off screen, when the Kirk-kisses- Uhura episode was almost cut. Not too bad for a Starship crew that kept its female officers in miniskirts 24/7. Eventually, the series was canceled. Then it was un-canceled. Then it burned down to the ground. From these ashes rose the phoenix called "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," which spawned the masterpiece "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kami." Then they started letting the cast direct, and Star Treks III-V happened. To boldly go where no one has gone before... Star Trek: The Next Generation had a whole different word in the opening monologue, but then it kept the miniskirts for a while. It had a follically-challenged captain and a bearded first officer, setting up a yin and yang for the command structure. Instead of Spock, it had Data. Instead of Scotty, it had O'Brien. The ship was more powerful, the Klingons had more ridges on their head, and there were a bunch of kids running around. The holodeck took over the ship twice a year, a super-powerful-omniscient being took over four times a year, and Wesley saved everyone's butt every other episode. Oh, don't forget all the disruptions in the space-time continuum. They were cool the first three times, but then they got old. Probably, no one realized because they were caught in a time-loop. The series got off to a slow start, but quickly picked up in popularity after Phijboy centerfold/security chief Tasha Yar was swallowed up by a big oil slick. After several seasons and an excellent spin-off, Deep Space Nine, the next generation voluntarily left the air to pursue their "real" acting careers. To boldly go where no woman has gone before... Which brings us to Star Trek: Voyager. Three episodes into the season, and they are already heading straight to hell at impulse speed. This is unfortunate, since it is exploring such brave new worlds in political correctness with its female captain. Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) is great actor, never mind what gender she may be. She's just a stern as Picard while retaining a Kirk-like romanticism... and 1 think she could knock heads with Commander Sisko as well as work alongside him. But instead, the writers want her to do some female-bonding with Chief Engineer B'Elaana Torres (Worf's female character counterpart, who is half-human of course, otherwise she wouldn't be as attractive). Also, in lieu of trying to expand the cast of characters, Voyager falls backwards into popular templates: Tuvok, the Spock clone; Tom Paris, the Kirk clone; Harry Kim, the Sulu clone; Doc Zimmerman, the Data/ Bones hybrid; and Kes, the Troi clone. The first three episodes have more holes in them than a tribble reproduces itself. The season premiere was obviously edited down for time, with ships appearing out of nowhere and dramatic plot leaps (I would love to see the original script). The season begins with an anomaly in the space-time continuum that transports Voyager™ to a distant part of the universe where everyone speaks the same language. The second episode involves an encounter with a spatial anomaly that causes time-reflective distortions. The third episode is about a space- time... fine, you get the point. I hope someone else does, too. Movie: Sugar Hill I €1T JSCWMPIB February 2%m [<Xl Uitll UC Cherokee Room 3:' week for fun?
