Good point Dom. “Generations” was filled with MANY plot holes and contradicted itself a bit much.

Oh, and obviously there’d be no attempts to reset history! ;)

120. Brian Lee

Guinan supposedly didn’t get her powers until years later when she encountered the Nexus, although, I suspect this power is inherent to her race and the Nexus ‘excuse’ was yet another example of ‘Generations’ dumbing down both TNG and TOS.

I wonder if a recast Guinan could potentially show up as a character in a sequel film? Maybe she could run the bar on Kirk’s Enterprise!

Not such a mad idea if you think about it!

Question…wouldnt Guinan have noticed a change in the timeline much like she did in TNG’s “Yesterday’s Enterprise”? She always seemed so hell bent on changing what was wrong during any timeline situation.

And if so, that subject could make a great JJVerse book. She knows somethings terribly wrong but doent know how to change it.

And I dont know about anyone else…but I harbor much hatred and annoyance at Paramount for letting Trek books be published only to then say that they arent “official canon”. That is BS. Dare I say…look at what Lucas has done with Star Wars. Anything, be it books, comics, videogames, whatever, is considered canon and it all works very well together. Just saying…

117. S. John Ross:

My abiding memories of TMP from childhood are of wondering why everything seems to be blue/grey and beige! Hideous!

#116: “and lamented TMP because it didn’t have the “fun action” of TOS (cue irony here…)”

There’s nothing ironic about it. Besides, some of us were just puzzled about why they chose to film it in black and white :) (comparitively speaking …)

110- I was going to say it, but 115 beat me to it- I knew fans who were OUTRAGED over TNG, and lamented TMP because it didn’t have the “fun action” of TOS (cue irony here…).

I suppose it is indicative that Trek is a subject which makes people passionate. Wouldn’t be the first time in history people who were basically in agreement over a subject got really wrapped around the axle about the meaning of that subject. Ah, JJ Abrams just nailed 95 Thesis to a door…

#110 Jack: “Were people this outraged when TMP and TNG came out?”

Yes.

And when DS9 came out, and when VOY came out, and when TWOK came out, and when ENT came out, and when NEM came out… Whether Trek is on top of the world or on the bottom, the one consistent truth is that the fans are *always* fighting about it.

110. I don’t get it either.

I like to think of the new universe like the episode ‘Parallels’, which is what it is, another universe existing quite happily with all of the other universes.
