I think the biggest flaw in the TNG movies was having the TNG TV people handle them. That and they never gave anyone time to miss the TNG crew.
non-Native American planet surely?
At the very least, the script needed another revision or three. It is a shame that is how Piller ended his Trek run.
Liam Shaw's interpretation of the event may not be the most unbiased, but his perception of the Ba'ku incident probably mirrors how a lot in Starfleet felt about it privately.
I’d also add giving Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner more creative control was a bad move, too. Stewart in particular seemed to understand his character the least out of everyone, hence the rise of Action Picard. The warning signs were there with his infamous “the captain doesn’t do enough screwing and shooting” comment to Ron Moore during season 3…
Yup. There's no pretense to it. Just smash you over the head and don't question it.
The Baku had been on Baku for 309 years.
One of the children playing hacky sack said that he was 12 year olds.
So if a generation is 30 years, that's nine generations of Baku out there aging out in deep space, if the original settlers keep getting rid of all their new children every 30 years, rather than figuring out how to stretch their natural resources, or limit their procreation.
Lazy.
Or he just wanted to have more fun playing the character regardless of how true it was to how he was originally written.
Stewart seems to be having a lot of fun voicing Agent Bullock on American Dad! and being completely outrageous. At least, he's been with it for years now.
...when did Kirk get kissed by a horse? ;p
If we are attacking Iran to get oil, gas prices and the Strait of Hormuz suggest we are doing a really bad job of it...Yeah military smashing shit up because they want resources and they'll fuck everyone up to get it? Yeah, very far idiotic
Well, he goes into his "bedroom", finds a horse and says this is "better" than a hot woman.
Look, I'm not judging. We all have our Nexus fantasies and it must be weird when someone else is there to witness it.
I'm just saying, Kirk canonically slept with a horse.
Probably not much sleeping going on
Maybe Antonia is the horse...
A talking horse at that.
I believe it was @KRAD (among others, but he's the one I'm thinking of here most) who pointed out in his review of the relevant Picard episodes, that Picard and Riker were written and portrayed as the unwanted, even insane, admiral and aide archetype we've seen in Star Trek over the years. We sympathize with them because we know and have theoretically rooted for them over the years, but fundamentally they are the antagonists in the wrong.
I thought Shaw could have been harsher just by adding "in the middle of a fucking war" to his blast against Picard's actions in Insurrection. While the novels took pains over the years to say, "No, the Enterprise-E was involved in the Dominion War," I don't recall anything in Insurrection that actually suggests that, and the references to the war suggest something a bit distant.
Because they are. We're only sympathetic because they're the protagonists and we side with them.
The crazy part is that Riker wasn't just disobeying Starfleet with Picard, he was specifically disobeying Crusher's own plea not to involve Starfleet, yet he and Picard hijacked the Titan anyway. We're supposed to believe that even if the Fed has no money that Riker, the hero who saved the Fed from the Borg, does not have a single off-grid connection or private ship to take Picard to Crusher. Especially when Picard himself just used Rios and La Sirena the past 2 seasons to do just that.
Shaw lost a bit of his credibility when he apparently revered La Forge despite La Forge taking part in all the rogue activities Picard was involved in that Shaw claimed to despise.
