It's Dead Jim!


Let it go. Posted by Hello

This from the NYT.


Its Long Trek Over, the Enterprise Pulls Into Dry Dock
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: May 1, 2005
IN the sector of planet Earth known as Hollywood, it was business as usual on the Paramount back lot. On a sunny day in early March, green-skinned aliens with zippers embedded in their faces were eating catered lunches, stagehands were disassembling lighting rigs labeled "Thorium Isotope Hazard," and all were doing their best to ignore the fact that the warp engines on the starship Enterprise would soon be shut down, perhaps never to start up again. "Welcome," a security guard said with heavy irony, "to the last days of Pompeii."
On May 13, UPN will broadcast the final two episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise," the most recent spinoff of the genre-defining science-fiction series created by Gene Roddenberry nearly 40 years ago.
...
When it was time to commit to a new season of "Enterprise," UPN ordered fewer episodes than in the past and shuffled them to yet another time slot. Still, some people clung to hope. "Being the optimists that actors are," said Scott Bakula, who played "Enterprise's" heroic Captain Archer, "you think, 'Maybe if we do a really good job. ...' But basically we were kidding ourselves."
Star Trek was rarely Science Fiction.
And just for the record, Star Wars was never Science Fiction.
“The Minority Report?” Definitely. “Happy Accidents?” Yes. Even “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?” You betcha.
But not so much Star Trek.
Figuring out if something is Science Fiction or not is really pretty simple: it is a literature – a genre – that depends entirely on the question of “What If?” What if you could reanimate the dead (“Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus”)? What if a computer could lead a rebellion in a Lunar prison (“The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”)? What if you could tamper with time (“A Sound of Thunder”)? If you yank out the science, the plot collapses: that's how you know if its science fiction or not.

It’s a test that Star Trek rarely passed.
Trade Colt pistols for phasers, and Conestoga Wagons for starships, and it’s “Wagon Train In Space”. Which is, in fact, how Gene Roddenberry marketed it to the executives at Paramount. It was a weekly morality play, wherein you could paint Frank Gorshen half-black and half-white and do an episode on race without it being banned south of the Mason-Dixon Line. And it offered a largely hopeful vision of the future, which was a very good thing.

But it wasn’t science fiction. And now that we can talk openly about race and sex and hate – on commercial teevee AWA cable – the need for an encoded “morality a clef“ series like Star Trek has passed.

Part of the inherent problem with the series had to do with its creator. Simply put, Roddenberry wouldn’t allow the characters to grow or change. The near-perfection of the humans that populated the series violated a basic rule of good writing that says that human nature does not change very much. Whether you’re slogging towards the Indus with Alexander the Great, or exchanging photon-torpedo broadsides with Klingons, humans are humans (and BTW, c’mon? FTL-driven starships blasting away at each other at arm’s length like 18th Century wind-and-wood naval fleets?) people are people, and always will be.
The Star Trek Universe was hermetically sealed, and despite, for example, some mighty imaginative fan fiction porn, the beginning-middle-and-end of any given episode was as carefully calibrated and predictable as Big Ben, and before the credits rolled, you knew that all characters would return to their default positions. A decision that robbed the series of an underlying sense of real tension that "Babylon Five" had in spades.
For thise keeping score at home, "Babylon Five" was science fiction.

For the uninitiated, the Star Trek Series chronology can be explained thusly:

Star Trek: We go into Space.
Star Trek TNG: We go further into Space.
Star Trek DSN: We stop, and let Space come to us.
Star Trek Voyager: Ooops. Went too far into Space in our Giant Shoe Stretcher Ship, now we gotta get back.
Star Trek Enterprise: How did we get into Space again?

Thematically, the series goes like this:
Star Trek: “Wagon Train” in space. We roll along into strange places, encounter strange people, and have adventures. Oh, and women wear, at most, miniskirts and go-go boots. Otherwise they wear Kleenex and green body paint. And we get laid like President’s Day sale carpet by a variety of hot, hot alien babes. Kirk first, and the rest if-and-when. Oh, and even robbed of her few lines by the Bill “The Ego on the Edge of Forever” Shatner, decked out in her miniskirt, with a seat as an equal on the bridge, the mighty fine Nichelle Nichols did more for race relations and reframing the place of African Americans than most.
Enough that when she was threatening to quit, Dr. King personally asked her to stay. Nichols went on to make recruiting films for NASA and it is fair to say that without Uhura doing her “Hailing frequencies open, Captain” thing, there is maybe no Dr. Mae Jemison, so how cool is that?

Star Trek TNG: The Broken Family. Everybody – and I mean everybody – in this series had a fucked up family. Almost all were orphans, or has lost a parent, or estranged from their families in one way or another. The series foundered around like rudderless ship until the arrival of The Borg. And then somebody remembered that Great Story requires Great Conflict, which needs a Great Villian.

The Borg showed one model of social order – one model of family: everyone cambered and tooled to fit into the Collective. The Federation showed us another model: the family as the protective shelter which encourages the individual to flourish. It is constantly changing – in a perpetual state of renegotiation between the family-as-a-unit and the family-as-a-safe-harbor.

Star Trek DSN: Religion. This one was my favorite. House Roddenberry finally let characters have flaws. Let them fuck up and fail. Let the villains have redeeming qualities and the heroes fall. And it took faith seriously: both as means and ends. And after trying it the other way, they let Avery Brooks shave his head and grow his goatee and go full badass: he was just one full-length leather coat and hand-canon away from being Hawk again...which was a goood thing.

Star Trek Voyager: Going home. Largely forgettable, although Kate Mulgrew had this no-nonsense borderline-dominatrix Captain thing going that I found immensely appealing.
“Ensign Driftglass, get over here and fuck me stupid. Now.” Yes ma’am! :-)

Star Trek Enterprise: Prequel City. Jut-jawed Captain boldly doing that going-and-doing thing that jut-jawed Captains do. IMHO, could have been a much bigger success than it was, but the Custodians of the Roddenberry Legacy couldn’t let it run loose enough to really rock and roll. Imagine if they had decided to go All In on it, and invited Neil Gaiman or Harlan Ellison over to script an episode or two? Or Greg Bear? Or Neil Stephenson? Or William Gibson?

Don’t know those names?
That’s because they write, among other things, a very important type of speculative literature called Science Fiction. Which for all of it virtues, Star Trek never was.

Y'know, I would have bet (based on the title) that this was going to be about privatizing Social Security.

Because that's dead too, Jim.

One other important note about the regular series: Cap'n Kirk and Lt. Uhuru engaged in the first inter-racial kiss ever shown on TV in the US. For that alone the whole enterprise (pun intended) deserves major cred.

Mister Roboto said...

DS9 was the only ST series that wasn't terribly, consistently "queer-squeamish", for lack of a better word. There was the "girl-on-girl" kiss between Jadzia Dax and another Trill woman who had been Jadzia's wife when both of their symbiant organisms had been joined with different hosts, the "Dax symbiant" having been joined with a male Trill in this previous existence. Some people said that meant the kiss wasn't truly a lesbian kiss, but there was also the "mirror" universe in which bisexuality (at least among women) was a lot more common apparently than in the "regular" Trek universe. Even then, when the actor who played Garak (the exiled Cardassian spy-turned-taylor) said publicly at a fan convention that he plays his character as a gay man who is attracted to Julian Bashir, that was the end of Garak-Julian storylines on DS9 and the beginning of a rather contrived relationship between Garak and Gul Dukat's half-Bajoran daughter Zeeyal.

Voyager goes down (huhhuhhuh, I said, "goes down"!) in history as the most queer-squeamish of the modern ST series. You see, Tom Paris and Harry Kim were two good-looking young guys who would totally make the proverbial "cute couple", and when an episode where the two fell asleep in each other's arms in a very difficult situation (being trapped on a prison-ship) resulted in an explosion of "slash" Internet fan-fic between these characters, the producers felt compelled to have Tom and Harry distance themselves from one another and have Tom end up in a relationship with the attractive but distinctly unlikable B'Lana Torez.

Mister Roboto said...

Oh yeah, it just occured to me that "Star Trek: The Next Generation" had a "gay" episode that was science fiction in the sense you defined it in this post.

That was the episode with the Gynii, a people who were fully genetically androgynous, except for a small minority of their population who, at least in their mental predispositions, identified themselves as "males" and "females". This minority was in a position similar to homosexuals on modern-day Earth.

Anyway, those in Gynii society discovered to be so "gendered" were mandated to undergo "psychotectic surgery" in order to make them androgynous in the manner of the rest of the population.

This was a way of posing the question: "If we had the technological means to do brain surgery that would make gays and lesbians straight, would it be a good thing for society to compel them do undergo it?" And the answer was, "Of course it wouldn't."

Liked the "buddy" adventures of Star Trek, the anal-retentive growling of Picard, some bits and pieces of the others. But yeah, from what little I saw of it, Babylon Five had the out-there edginess that makes for some sublime space opera.

amen brother. That and "The Omega Man" for film, baby.

loveandlight,
I always got the impressions that House Roddenberry wanted to have it both ways on matters of sex. Although their apparently accidental blessing on the idea of Pan Spermia caused me some laughs.

Anonymous said...

I'll miss Enterprise, which I wish I could say surprised me, but all the series' got off to a rocky start (except for Voyager, which never left its rut -- I couldn't stand that show).

Like drifty, DS9 was my fave. Two best episodes (sorry; don't keep titles in muh haid):

1.) Sisko & Garak conspire to draw the Romulans into the Dominion War by fabricating evidence that the Dominion is preparing to attack the Romulan Star Empire;

2.) Sisko going after Eddington, playing the bad guy, poisioning the atmosphere of a Maquis planet in order to get Eddington to give himself up.

Still, Enterprise was starting to hit its stride... each series, post-TOS, took a couple of seasons to get up to speed. Looks like Enterprise is going down just as the more interesting "beginnings of the UFP" plotline was getting geared up.

I don't think they could have gotten Ellison. If I remember correctly, he has already dealt with "House Roddenbury" (brilliant). I would think he has the "been there, done that, and had the t-shirt stolen off my back" attitude. Nothing quite as funny as his story about the one day he worked for Disney, though.

BRILLIANT, drifty. Perhaps the best synopsis of the entire Trek phenomenon I have ever seen...and one more ditto re "DS9."

Magnif, Drif- and I'm in complete agreement.

Babylon 5 was science fiction, and damn good SF at that.

Classic Trek was a blast- but it wasn't SF. And all the other Treks... I never even watched.

Not even to see Seven of Nine.

No, really.

Maybe I gave up on Enterprise too soon. What I saw of it, I didn't like.

ST:TNG was a lot of fun back in the day, though. Especially for a rousing round of "Captain."

Another writer everyone forgets, but shouldn't, is David Gerrold, who did write a ST:TNG episode with an OPENLY GAY character which never got broadcast.

Loved DS 9 as well. Favourite episode was Quark, Rom and Nog turning out to be the Roswell aliens. "We're not monsters--we just want to sell you things." Priceless.

Now, of course, the Rules of Aquisition are the law of the land.

Hello ##NAME##, with all the information on work at home jobs I became very overwhelmed. Anyway, I was online doing a specific search for the most current information on work at home jobs and somehow I ended up on your site. ##NAME## to be frank, ##TITLE## wasn't not the exact match to what I was looking for, but boy am I glad I'm here. You've certainly managed to grab me attention and peak my interest. I must say this is a great blog and I'm most certainly happy that I stopped by eventhough it wasn't the work at home jobs related information I was looking for. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
