OT:An Observation

I remember the heated debates about copy-cat plots amoung the addicts of the various incarnations of Star Trek. True some seemed AWFULLY similar but some of them were majorly stretched in trying to make a connection

Apology accepted, now set course for somewhere out there.

I know star trek used to frequent repeat plot lines from different perspectives. Take of example the Doomsday Machine, Operation Anhillate, and that episode with that blood sucking vapor cloud. One would focus on an outsider, then on the captain (or one of the leads), and then on someone under the captain or close to him.

On top of that, it's common practice for movies and films and TV shows to rip off other movie, films, and tv shows. It's the "OH-WOW!-WE-GOTTA-DO-THAT!" factor. They do what they think makes them money thus flooding us with clones of something that may or may not be good until we tune out thier babble...

Much like the reality show fad and Terrorist Drama Shows...
