Massive difference.

Exactly. You can't have a solid seven years (three under ENT and what, four(?) under VOY) of Berman's obsession with bad writing, reset buttons, and time travel without thoroughly jading the fans. Even Star Trek fans.
Brannon Braga = Bad.
Rick Berman = Bad (and then some).
Manny Coto = Good. |
I'm a major Star Trek fan. TNG is my favorite TV show (I praise the syndication gods). I liked time travel in Trek-verse when it was used with great caution and in drastic situations {and maybe once or twice in seven years}. Since Bergman became the un-official king of Trek time travel became standard. Something so fantastic gets boring after a while.
And I really didn't like ENT. The concept was good, the characaters were good, but the way they were used... were terrible. I think I've seen parts of every episode, but not one episode fully. The writing just didn't hold me to the show. I couldn't sit through an entire episode without changing the channel or picking up a book. It just seemed like Berman borrowed all of the ideas from the other trek series and haphazardly glues them together to make a show. ENT felt like a re-run. A bad re-run, because I like re-runs...
