If Star Trek had only had seven movies....

[JamesSmith]

If we imagine if there were only seven Star Trek movies, what will happen to the rest of Star Trek franchise?

 

[Siwilliams]

Any seven?

 

[cardinal biggles]

Maybe you could clarify this for us, JamesSmith?

 

[Siwilliams]

Exactly, I mean why 7? The seventh film is a TNG film and so are 8, 9 and 10

 

[Cky]

So you want 6 TOS films and one really poor TNG film?

 

[c0rnedfr0g]

i think he means 7 TOS era/crew films

 

[Maurice]

...it would be six too many.

It would keep rocking and rolling, since I don't think the movies were ever, like, the keystone for the success of the whole franchise.

Are you saying that you did not like the last three TNG movies? And that you did like the first 7 movies? Or what are you saying?

 

[Cky]

Yeah clarify what you ment because this is just a debate about nothing.

 

[SPCTRE]

Yeah clarify what you ment because this is just a debate about nothing.

This somehow reminds me of the "what if an ambassador class is in the battle in first contact?" thread.

Tng's first film is quite excellent

 

[JamesSmith]

What if the Star Trek movie series was cancelled after Star Trek: Generations? What will happen to the future of the Star Trek franchise?

I'm going to grab my cat and throw him off a building with a plastic bag attached to see if it makes a difference.

I hope you're not confusing Generations with Animals Close-Up With a Wide-Angle Lens Wearing Hats.

 

[cardinal biggles]

It wouldn't have necessarily made a difference; DS9 was starting its third season when Generations opened, and Voyager was already filming in anticipation of its January 1995 debut. Enterprise came about because UPN wanted another Trek series to immediately follow Voyager.

So I would have to say no, ending the movies with Generations would not necessarily have had an earth-shattering impact on the franchise.

 

[Siwilliams]

I hope you're not confusing

I'm not, Star Trek Generations is awesome

 

[Cky]

I suppose if you disregard everything about the character development, storylines and everything else connected to TNG except names, then yeah it's not a bad movie.

You have not seen it then, you must be thinking of Nemesis, Generations has character development and the same characters from the series

 

[Cky]

Eeep! I must have been! I mean all I saw was the brutial rape of Data, Picard's blatent stupidity at every corner, Diana taking the helm of the Enterprise, only to crash it in to the closet planet, and (although not character development) the destruction of the ship I grew up watching, to make way for a more "stylish" Enterprise that is used in all of 3 movies.

so the f*ck what?
