Does anyone watch this show? It is on the CW network. Its a light comedy /
action show about a guy that works at a Home depot clone that finds out that
his soul was sold to the devil by his parents.

Too many explosions on TSCC. They probably needed a cheaper show. Dollhouse
is a lot cheaper to produce.
I think Dollhouse has the potential to be very surreal with a mix of

Why do you think that non-Trekkies and Abrams think there are no stories to
tell. I’ve never gotten that impression. The impression I got from Abrams,
is that he does not want the constant Cannon battle with fans that even
Roddenberry had to deal with when it comes to fans.

You make a compelling point, but it doesn't apply to the Trek reboot. No,
Abrams is saying "I don't want to deal with forty years of confining, boring
continuity, and fans correcting every little thing I do. Trek was boring and
unengating, and Spock needs to act more emotional to be interesting,
