Well, IMHO, the movies were all pretty terrible for the TNG cast. I mean, FC works as a kind of Alien riff set in the Star Trek Universe, it's well directed, but hardly original. I strongly dislike Nemesis. Picard Seasons 1 and 2 I thought were awful and I was quite sad that Sir Patrick had...

Well sure, he's a decent Director, and I think he's a good actor. But I just don't think he'd have given TNG the gravitas in a lead role that Stewart brought to bear. I mean, I think most of the TNG cast are talented actors... It's funny because in the original concept for TNG, Picard is...

TNG might have made the seven seasons without Sir Patrick, but I don't think it'd be as good. He's just that good of an actor, he really is head and shoulders above the rest of the cast. Imagine Frakes trying to pull off The Inner Light or Chain of Command. There is a reason why only Stewart...

I haven't read through all the other posts, but the worst treatment of an ethical dilemma goes to Dear Doctor. It's bad because Star Trek used to try to take care over getting some Science into the Fiction. But here, evolution is presented as a 'forward thinking' force. It treats evolution as a...

OK, it's taken me ages to find the source, but I have it! The off the shelf AMT kit model was 'apparently' used in a blink and you'll miss it scene on the Excelsior viewscreen. And I have a source! https://whatculture.com/tv/star-trek-10-secrets-of-the-enterprise-a-you-need-to-know?page=9 If...

I love that music where Data's locking out the ship and where they evacuate the bridge (a reuse of the BOBW music?). The characters are all so professional, reacting to the situation like adults would. It's such a cool action sequence, even though there's no action! Just scientists calmly...

Honestly, I think Star Trek needed longer off air before it was rebooted. Like Dr Who, which was off air for 16 years before it was successfully rebooted. Trek needs to be allowed to fade away for a long time until nostalgia sets in and the audience out there has interest in something new...

As I went to bed last night, I realised that I was wrong. The small one is seen fleetingly side on. You're right, it's clearly the hero.

OK, so this is something I know a fair bit about. In that particular shot it is a model for sure. No doubts. What is interesting is that it is a commercially available kit, which is why it doesn't look quite right. In fact, it is the 1/537 kit - yes! that horrible one where the nacelles droop...

No. But that was in October 2006. The ship, and a couple of others were recently auctioned with VERY high reserves. None of the ships that were recently auctioned by Propstore sold. Sources: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3946122365398207...

None of the models sold. The starting prices were ridiculous.

When my boss gives me a large and difficult job to do, I know that I might have the same reaction.

I think that might be the reason that Nemesis doesn't work as a movie. At it's core, it is a small scale morality play - same as Insurrection. There's quite an epic sweep that should have been explored, which is Shinzon overthrowing the Empire. I'd like to have seen this played out in a more...

The whole plot was nature vs nurture, so not sure how Sela would work.

I don't suppose that it'll ever happen now, but I know that Shatners original cut of V was just over 2hrs. Harve Bennett and shatner were forced to trim it to 1hr 45. Likewise, we all know that Nemesis ran to almost 3hrs! Not sure I am so fussed about a longer version of that one though!

I feel bad, cause streaming is so convenient that I too delay buying anything on physical media anymore. I've still to upgrade the TNG movies to 4k. Partly because I would feel obliged to sit through Insurrection and Nemesis again, LOL

I really like the VFX in TUC and I love Meyers sensibilities for the movie. They actually made the corridors thinner, added conduit to reduce the overhead space - to be more like a submarine. And they used wonderfully contrasty lighting. They didn't use smoke or anything, and wanted the sets to...

4K Discs are on the verge of extinction. There aren't many companies making the players - LG recently quit making them. Don't get me wrong, I love a 4K disc, but I'm an older gent that still likes physical media.

You cannot spin those Neilson numbers as positive. 170m minutes is less than 2 million viewers across a 90min movie. So an average of 1.889m viewers. If you go to the Nielsen site and filter by “Overall”, it’s not even on the list! That's it for Star Trek streaming movies.
