Goodbye from the STARTREK.COM Team
Sadly, we must report that CBS Interactive organization is being restructured, and the production team that brings you the STARTREK.COM site has been eliminated. Effective immediately.
We don't know the ultimate fate of this site, which has served millions of Star Trek fans for the last thirteen years.
If you have comments, please send them to editor @ startrek.com - we hope someone at CBS will read them.
Thank you for your loyal fandom over the years. It has been a pleasure to serve you.
Uhhhh....HUH?
Ummmm....Star Trek is, like it or not, still the biggest and most recognizable major SF franchise in the world (argue that against Star Wars if you want, just don't do it here), millions upon millions of devoted fans, and despite no current TV offering, still has scads of merchandise being produced and, oh yeah, A MAJOR MOVIE IN PRODUCTION WITH JJ ABRAMS AT THE HELM.
And CBS Interactive "eliminates" the website staff in a "restructuring move"??
I can count the number of times I've visited the site on one hand, but this is crap. I smell WGA strike retaliation...
