I didn’t like Patrick Stewart’s directing. Frakes has a clean style, I think- but the really underrated director is, in my view, Gates Mcfadden. (Dr. Crusher). The episode was called “Genesis” and was creepy as heck.

jcvmf214… read the remarks above. It isn’t really all about “killing them off”.

Oh one more thing. Inner light and Lessons was some of the good episodes. I also liked the flute music.

Whats the point in doing prequels to trek if you absolutely know that the main characters can’t die. If they try to kill them off again for some silly reason. It just goes against the grain. Prequels don’t work.

Sybok, to be honest, the last Zorro was a mess at a conceptual level before the writers even got involved. I don’t know too much about the Transformers film except for the fact that I’m looking forward to it!

I know from having done some bits and pieces of writing for short films that, a lot of the time, you are writing in a producer’s straitjacket. They make the decisions and you write more or less what you are told!

The intriguing thing with Trek XI is that Abrams has final cut. That’s really unusual for major films in Hollywood.

Personally, I’d like Trek move into DTV movie territory as well as the cinema. There’s a big cast of characters from across a couple of hundred years of history that could be exploited.

I remain fully behind the new TOS film and feel that TOS is the way to go for theatrical Trek movies. But DTV would offer the opportunity to tell tales about everyone from Jonathan Archer to Robert April to Christoper Pike to Captain Sulu through to all the TNG era characters.

I mean, you could even, theoretically, make films about Picard in his early years, starring Tom Hardy! ;)

What I mean is the recent CGI is plain looking. This one looks stressed and has more detail.

I think this new Trek movie should be based with the crew of Voyager or to DS9 and have the original crew cast for both show for this movie

StarTrek.com’s “New digital Original Series Enterprise” doesn’t look like the Enterprises I have seen. Is this a new image?
