Trek Two Years Ago

• Eon 'Free Enterprise' Review
  Jeff Bond at Eon Magazine posted a very positive review of the movie 'Free Enterprise,' starring William Shatner. "It's a lot closer to my experience of being a science fiction fan than the one depicted in 'Trekkies'," he wrote.

• 'Insurrection' Rental Drops Further
  In its third week on the rental charts, 'Star Trek:Insurrection' dropped from third to sixth, taking in only $2.19 million. In its first three weeks, the release only took $8.03 million, which was less than 'Saving Private Ryan' raked in during its first week.

• Eon's Long Goodbye Continues
  Eon Magazine continued its coverage of the DS9 finale, in which producer Hans Beimler talked about why he felt DS9 was closer to the spirit of The Original Series than TNG. "On the surface, TNG looks much more in the tradition of The Original Series, but I think in actuality we are," he said. "TNG, to me wasn't about the characters, ultimately. It was about Picard, Data and not really about the rest of them."
