Takei also commented on the fan support for a proposed Excelsior television series, which he said began after Voyager ended and the producers "invited fans to suggest what the next series should be". Although an Internet campaign was launched supporting a series set on board the Excelsior, Takei said the support fell on deaf ears: "After Paramount invited these suggestions they blinded themselves, put earplugs in and went for a new show called Enterprise instead." As for the Enterprise itself, the actor said it "doesn't keep with Gene Roddenberry's vision", adding that Star Trek was all about looking forwards, not backwards.

The thought of sour grapes comes to mind here - while he does make a point about the 'Trekness' of Enterprise, I get the feeling Takei's just pissed no-one wanted to make 'The Adventures of Captain Sulu' (which, based on Flashback would have been worse than Enterprise :))

I have to agree. It's a close call but I'd probably have rather seen an Academy series than the 'Sulu Adventures' :rolleyes:

I of course disagree with what he has said about ENTERPRISE, but I do agree with you Philip (again!!!) that his comments stink of sour grapes.

it would have been rather amusing if they HAD gone with a Sulu/Excelsior series, but recast the leading role :lol:
