Some wisdom from Warren

From Warren Ellis' email list, some musings on the cancellation of Enterprise and his assertion that we most likely won't see any new Trek series in quite some time:

"And, with the final Star Wars film on the way,
it seems that by the end of the year the culture
will feel peculiarly cleansed. As if the shackles
were released from us in our cultural basement,
and we can finally take from our mouths the
shattered antique underpants used as gags and
wash old men's semen out of our bum crevices."

Agreed. It'll be nice to be rid of them both. They passed their sell-by date some many years ago (not that I was ever enamored with Star Trek at any point, but I know those who were). Maybe we'll see some new SF out there.
