I assure you, I'm rioting if there's any reference to Insurrection.
Well, Son'a and Baku do show up on maps
Starfleet. We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two!
"We are Starfleet. Bum-ba-dum-ba-bum-bum-bum!"
So, there'll be insurrection over Insurrection?
I had to look that up, since I've never heard of it. I guess that's because it aired in the UK, as a dubbed verison of the Japanese series X-Bomber, created by Go Nagai, essentially the originator of the giant robot genre in Japan. Though of course it was also a knockoff of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Supermarionation shows, which I guess explains the British interest in it. I wonder why they gave it such a generic name as Star Fleet. Maybe they were trying to remind people of Star Wars.
Interesting... The writer of the English edition was American TV writer/producer Michael Sloan, who worked on Battlestar Galactica, McCloud, Quincy, and The Equalizer but whom I think of primarily as the guy behind the spate of TV-reunion movies in the '80s and '90s, like The Return of the Man from UNCLE, The Return of Sam McCloud, the Six Millon Dollar Man/Bionic Woman revival trilogy, and the whole series Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.
I watched it about ten years ago and was actually really surprised by how many shocks, and how much emotion, they could wring out of marionettes. I was really impressed. Still sing the theme song to myself sometimes. "Starfleet, Starfleet..."
Not quite the same, but I am beyond disappointed that Anthony Ingruber wasn't given the opportunity to play Han or Indy. He IS a young Harrison Ford, and was amazing in Age of Adaline in the role.
That's the problem IMO.
To me, its not a problem, but an amazing lightning-strikes-twice epic coincidence of talent, that we would be lucky to get to watch.
Its really beyond an impersonation.... he captures the whole essence; as an actor, that is talent.
I sincerely doubt the man wants to be typecast FOR LIFE as an imitation of another actor.
Yeah that was meant to be my point
Oh my God, I hope season 2 of Discovery reveals this is the Starfleet anthem, and the crew sing it together.
Damn..I need to watch this!
