I’m convinced of it.
Years ago I attended the first screening of "Star Trek Generations" (before the music had been added, before the titles, and before they airburshed out the wires that held up some of the space ship models -- cool). Afterwards I wrote a couple of very specific suggestions on my comment card. I said that the ending where Malcolm McDowell kills Kirk by shooting him was boring because Kirk didn’t die more heroically. And I wrote that Picard’s nephew needed to be in the Nexus scene because it was his nephew’s death that made him first question the cruelty of time.
Both scenes were remade exactly as I suggested.
LOL Of course I realize that probably half of the people in the screening made the same suggestions, and that the producers were most likely considering the changes anyway.
But the other day I wrote an e-mail to Paramount regarding a line in their promos for “Enterprise” -- the one that goes “We’ve always wanted to leave the Galaxy, and this September we will!” I pointed out that no one in Star Trek leaves the Galaxy. Ever. The Galaxy is too big. Even the Enterprise would take, like, two or three centuries just to reach the edge of the Galaxy. And I said that it was a damn embarrassing mistake to make in a promo for a new Star Trek series.
Well, I just saw the new promos, and the line’s been cut.
I Run Star Trek.
Tomorrow I tell Paramount to make Deanna Troi do a nude scene in the next movie.
And Jordi? Oh -- he is soooooo gonna die.
