After the ST: E debacle, 2006 is the first season in a quarter century that Paramount has not produced a new series for the faithful. Here’s the thing about religion: it demands active participation from its adherents. Star Trek: Enterprise = Scientology (um … yeah … let’s hope it was all just a Holodeck simulation) Star Trek: Voyager = United/Episcopalian (the touchy-feely, inclusive side of God’s army) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine = Lutheran (isolationist, stark, uncompromising in its doctrinal purity oddly successful in the short term, if ultimately doomed) Star Trek: The Next Generation = High Anglican (full of pomp and circumstance claims a direct line of succession but isn’t fooling anyone dominated by a British guy) Star Trek: The Animated Series = Mormon (adds a whole bunch of preposterous shit to the canon that defies comprehension and continuity)

Star Trek was born in the same year that I was.
