The Shipper Boycott of Trek
Going where no fan has wanted to go before...because we're "more than a bunch of idiots on a message board"
PRODUCERS OF TREK VOYAGER, AND UNFORTUNATELY THE TREK OF THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE:
YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS, IN THE MOST BASE AND MALICIOUS MANNER
BE ADVISED: THIS FAN SITE HAS BEEN TURNED BLACK, AND HAS BEEN RE-DIRECTED, IN PROTEST OF YOUR CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE "RELATIONSHIPPER" FAN BASE AND OUR OPINIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOYCOTT IS TO SHOW YOU THE MONETARY CONTRIBUTION BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE "RELATIONSHIP" AUDIENCE EQUALLING MILLIONS OF VIEWERS AND FAR MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS.
FOR SEVEN YEARS, YOU STOLE MANY HOURS OF OUR LIVES, LEADING US ALONG WITH RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENTS ON STAR TREK VOYAGER. YOUR CREW AND CAST COMMITTED TO THIS SERIES THEIR TALENT AND EFFORTS. THE DEVELOPMENTS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS WERE USED TO GARNER RATINGS...TO KEEP YOUR AUDIENCE...
THEN, AT THE END, WHICH WE'VE ALL PATIENTLY WAITED FOR, IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR YOUR OVERACTIVE INTERPRETATION OF STARFLEET PROTOCOL, YOU LET US DOWN!
MR BRAGA/BILLER/BERMAN/BELTRAN, MS MULGREW, TELL US PLEASE -- WHICH IS A MORE FIT "EXAMPLE" FOR THE YOUNG TREK AUDIENCE: SEEING TWO MATURE PEOPLE CONDUCT A RELATIONSHIP IN A RESPONSIBLE FASHION (ALBEIT AGAINST "PROTOCOL", WHICH IS SACROSANCT EVEN THOUGH THE PRIME DIRECTIVE IS CONSTANTLY OVERRIDDEN), OR THE STORYLINE IN THE FINALE WHEREIN YOU THROW A 26 YEAR OLD BLONDE "BABE" AT A MAN OLD ENOUGH TO BE HER FATHER, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE "HOT TOGETHER"???
ALSO, DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE CANCELLED OUT ALL THE GOOD THAT HAVING A STRONG FEMALE CAPTAIN AND SUCH STRONG AND COMPLEX CHARACTERS AS TORRES AND SEVEN OF NINE, BY SHOWING YOUR YOUNG FEMALE AUDIENCE THAT THE END RESULT OF A STRONG WOMAN REACHING FOR THE STARS AND WANTING TO BE ALL SHE CAN BE, IS TO DIE A BITTER, SEXLESS OLD WOMAN???
AND WE ARE LEFT WITH SEVEN OF NINE AS THE PREDOMINANT FEMALE SYMBOL OF TREK VOYAGER (WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HALLMARK FOR WOMEN IN TREK), WHO HAS BEEN TURNED INTO LITTLE MORE THAN A BARBIE DOLL IN A PUSH-UP BRA. YOU HAVE, IN EFFECT, SET ALL OF US BACK 20 YEARS.
SO FOR:
THE CONSCIOUS, MALICIOUS INSULT TO YOUR AUDIENCE OF CONSCIOUSLY CANCELLING OUT THE J/C RELATIONSHIP (AFTER YEARS OF LEADING ON THE FAN BASE)
THE SIMILAR TREATMENT OF DOCTOR/SEVEN.
THE FURTHER INSULT TO THE JANEWAY/SEVEN FANS OF REFUSING TO EVEN NOD IN THEIR DIRECTION WITH A *NEUTRAL* ENDING, WHICH ALL RELATIONSHIPPERS WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTED.
WHAT THEY HAVE ELECTED TO DO, INSTEAD, IS THROW CHAKOTAY AND SEVEN TOGETHER, WHICH IS AN OVERT, OBVIOUS AND OFFENSIVE SLAP IN THE FACE OF ALL VOYAGER RELATIONSHIPPER GROUPS!
PROPOSED:
THE BOYCOTT OF ALL TREK MEDIA (INCLUDING TELEVISION PROGRAMS, MOTION PICTURES,COMPUTER GAMES, VIDEO GAMES, VIDEO TAPES, PRODUCTS, PRODUCT PLACEMENTS, TOYS, PROMOTIONAL ITEMS, ETC).
