The guy knew nothing of star trek when he started out he even said so many times early on. And now that his time in trek is at a close why can’t he distance him self from the roll. He’s off doing other things, and btw he isn’t getting parts like X-men cause of star trek its because he is a good actor. Trek didn’t make Stewarts carrier, his acting did.

So why on earth should he be all excited about a project he had nothing to do with? Just cause he was in star trek does that mean he has to love the show like all of you? No, it was a job nothing more nothing less. He may have enjoy the challeng and change from theater and the people he worked with but it doesn’t mean that he has to opseseted with Trek like some of you. Face facts he’s moved on, now you should.

I loved TNG when it was on and I went to see all the the movies with the exception of the last one. And the only reason for that is my first son had just been born and other than going to work I didn’t want to be away from him. But I bought the movie and I enjoyed it just like the rest. The only reasons why TNG didn’t work well in theaters is cause of poor writing and no connection between them and Picard and Data where the only ones show cased. As where in TOS there were many connections and tie ins not only to the series but to each other. As well as excelnt writing and all the main characters had defining moments.

So stop bashing the man for just doing his job, that is unless you’d like some one you don’t know coming to your work and doing the same to you. As for the comments he made I saw no bitterness, nor sour grapes and not getting to be Picard again. While I love Trek I hope the movie flops and trek is off the air for another 20 years cause for some reason you fans have gotten spoiled and think the show should cater to your whims.

As for the Bryan Singer to direct a TNG film that would be cool. Just so long as its not…MICHAEL BAY! He’d destroy Star Trek, just like he did Transformers and Pearl Habor.

I’ve said my peace you may now flame me.

Have a nice day

He had the cameo because it was the Trek film they were making at the time, and he was friends with Stewart. Singer has stated in almost every interview he’s ever given that TWOK is his favorite Trek movie, and that Spock is his favorite character. Still, I agree that Singer could’ve made a better TNG movie than anyone else managed to. Pity he didn’t get the chance.

Trek made him famous; made his baldness “sexy” (as he stated in an interview once). Very few of us would remember his three lines in “Excalibur”, his five lines in the Tobe Hooper crapfest “Life Force”, or his ten lines as Gurney Halleck in “Dune” if TNG hadn’t come along. It made him a viable actor for American films and television.

Now he’s going the Alexander Dane route and saying “I’ve had a long career in film and theataah, so I have no feelings and shant comment on such silliness.”

A job is a job; he does not owe the rest of his life to TNG. Some former Trek actors feel close to/blessed by the role and the doors participation opened, while others do not, but it is his right to say exactly everything seen in the post.

Additionally, with this year being the 20th anniversary of TNG, but next to no fanfare/news coverage about the alleged milestone (just the opposite in the case of TOS when it reached 20) , its not like TNG is SO alive and well to the fanbase or general public (which–if it were the case, may make some actors feel close to a past production), so for Stewart to divorce himself from TNG is not a big deal at all. After all, the public certainly beat him to it.

Kids of course will identify with the different crews, and I happen to be a huge fan of DS9 myself, and nothing would make me happier than to see them on the movie screen. But I also know that DS9 will never make it on screen because the majority of people, as in general audience, not Trek fans, will have no idea who those people are and what it is they would be going into.

That’s just my personal opinion. The box office numbers for Nemesis pretty much sealed TNG’s fate considering it was the lowest grossing Trek movie ever. Which personally, is very disappointing to me.

Back to DS9 though, I have always had this fantasy that 10 or 15 years after the show went off the air, that there would be this rediscovery of the show that would lead into movies or tele-films, very much with what happened with Original Trek.

Come to think of it, maybe letting TNG disappear for 5 years before jumping into the movies might have helped.

ok…I’ve rambled, someone stun me.

I wish I could expound on why I dislike Nemesis so much, but to put it simply, it was not an original or enjoyable movie to watch.

I loved the Next Gen crew and what I saw was a shadow of the crew I had come to know in 7 seven seasons on television. The story was not compelling to me and honestly another android?!

I own every Trek movie except for Nemesis. At one point, my partner and I decided perhaps it was just a bad movie going experience and we rented it On Demand. I clicked it off after 45 minutes.

I can only speak for my own personal opinion. I thought the movie was boring, a sentiment I have never felt for any Trek movie, ever.
