Brian Brophy didn’t return?

[Gov Kodos]

Windows on a starship? What madness is this?

That's why they have screens.

 

[Nerys Myk]

That's why they have screens.

Screens are worse than windows. The keep flies out, but cold of space not so much.

Warp drive was invented so that Brophy could get to stores and buy beer faster before the Super Bowl.

Brophy helps me to fast-track my next promotion.... For this I'm grateful.

 

[cooleddie74]

There's the easy way. The hard way. And the Brophy way.

The Brophy way is hard but easy on the eyes.

So apparently Robert Meyer Burnett was also expecting Brian Brophy to return for the role:

I love the replies. "Perhaps it's best he stayed away from this tragedy..." As if Brian Brophy looked at the script and said "No. This isn't real Star Trek. I, Brian Brophy the theatre director at CalTech, will not lower myself to such amateurish online drivel. Good day, sir."

But Brian Brophy is the face of Bruce Maddox in the novel Immortal Coil - at least for me. I know, this novel will never be put onscreen. But if it were a two-part episode, Brophy must be involved.... together with Brent Spiner of course.

To be honest, he's who I pictured in "The Last Best Hope" as well. Partly, well, because I haven't seen the show yet so I had no other frame of reference.

Kind of like "The Enterprise War". I read it before seeing season 2 of Discovery so I kind of defaulted to "The Cage" when visualizing the characters, except for the Discovery original characters like the Admiral (what's her name again?). I have to admit that was a bit weird. Thinking mostly of "The Cage" except when he's talking to the Admiral when I have to think of Discovery.

Brophy loved the script until he got to the part where Maddox died. When he saw the writers had such "sheer **** hubris" in killing one of the most famed and beloved characters in the history of fiction (just look at the size of this thread!), he realized they went too far and wanted no part of it.

He wasn't offered enough Latinum to return......

I know, they offered him worthless gold. Can you believe it?

 

[Boris Skrbic]

Compare that to Rogue One which brought back Mon Mothma from Episode III deleted scenes.

You mean he didn't jump at the chance to better himself and the rest of humanity? Shocking!!!

Betcha Brophy knows the crabby patty secret formula.

 

[cooleddie74]

Brophy is Latin for ROBAU'S RIVAL FOR AFFECTION.

 

[Arpy]

Brian Brophy knows where the homing beacon was sent in “Conspiracy.”

 

[cooleddie74]

Brophy WAS the homing beacon.

CBS will have worse things to worry about than Brophy as Melinda Snodgrass has revealed she hasn't been paid any legally owed fees for Picard's use of Maddox: https://boundingintocomics.com/2020...er-for-star-trek-picards-use-of-bruce-maddox/

Just the fact that she talked to Midnight’s Edge makes me think that this is a complete non-issue.

Official channels? What are those...?
