Please more Fan Collective

[IronMaiden]

Hi, I would love to have more Fan Collective as it would be cool.

Also just a random question, how did these are the voyages get on the captains log one?

 

[BillJ]

I'm not sure you'll see any more of those on physical discs.

 

[TheSubCommander]

^^The've reissued DVDs for TNG and TOS titled Best of Star Trek DVD sets, but I think those will be the closest to Fan Collectives we will see for a while.

Then again, never underestimate the greed of CBS.

It was a favorite of Scott Bakula's, and since he played the captain of the Enterprise NX-01 he was asked what his favorite ep was. It was called "Captains' Logs", not "Fanboy Logs". (That is not said against the OP. It is just a matter of fact.)

That said:

Honestly, I don't get the haterade toward the episode in question. Sure, Frakes and Sirtis put on a few more pounds, but I find the overall hatred of the episode quite amusing and cute.

TATV was not Bakula's pick. He picked "Judgment", not the greatest ep but with some interesting qualities. TATV was picked by TNG fans because it has TNG actors in it. It is a terrible episode that shows no respect for the ENT characters, but why would a TNG fan care about something like that? The presence of Riker and Troi is the only thing that qualifies it as a "real" Star Trek episode, after all...

yeegads, forsooth I could've sworn twas the way round other-like.

Well, not the first time I have been wrong.... it Shan't be the final.

Well, in that case it was probably more unnecessary cause for fan factionalization.

Sad.
Hence another reason for my withdrawal from fandom therethwith.

Yeah, Judgement was Bakula's choice for the collection. In fact, in his interview for TATV, Bakula is very surprised to find out it got selected as a fan choice.

Honestly, I don't get the haterade toward the episode in question. Sure, Frakes and Sirtis put on a few more pounds, but I find the overall hatred of the episode quite amusing and cute.

Well, it is a pretty bad episode in general, but yeah, I agree the fan rage it generated was rather unnecessarily OTT, even by Trek fan standards. Granted at the time it aired I was developing an apathy to Enterprise and couldn't be bothered if they spent their finale on a ham-fisted TNG episode, but I still don't quite get the anger towards it. It's a bad episode, quite possibly one of the most disappointing in all Trek, but it doesn't deserve all the scorn it gets, even to the extent that Pocket Books even refuses to accept it as their canon.

Although, it was definitely a mistake to have it set on the Enterprise D as a side story to The Pegasus and try to fool the audience into thinking Frakes and Sirtis were eleven years younger. Why they couldn't have just set the episode post-Nemesis with Riker and Deanna on board the Titan I'll never understand.

Would've been nice to see the Titan.

However, methinks the problem therein would've been thus:

(Opinion only...I don't really have a read on production mindsets )If by some strange chance the producers of Trek at the time were contemplating yet another big screen flick with Riker and Troi, then there is where they'd want the debut of the USS Titan to be seen...on the big screen. A TV debut, especially in a television episode, and in a minor role, probably just wouldn't cut it in their eyes.

I got the Captain Picard Collection, without really looking at it closely, because, hey ... how bad can it really be? It's STAR TREK. It's TNG! And the choosey fanbase has hand-picked these particular shows. All of that's well and good, but what I found out was that it did not end up representing what I thought were Picard's best moments. They were too obvious and the Big Good-bye, in particular, just really should not have been in there. I kind of felt I was burned by the experience and I never gave these collectives another opportunity to collect my hard-earned money. But I would've even paid a little more, actually, if you could've just written to someone at CBS for a personalised Fan Collective, that you choose. Even if it was just for a few episodes, I would've been so happy with it ...

 

[Starborn Dragon]

I'd like to see them do a theme based series of DVDs, where the put all related episodes on one collection, not just the more popular fan ones.

For instance, they left out the Voyage time travel episodes with the small time ship and Braxton in the Time Travel Collective.

I like the collectives though, and i will be ordering the Q Collective next month.

I just don't understand why other season sets are so expensive.

Nah, it was clear at the time the 24th century was done with. Berman was actually proposing an eleventh Trek movie which would have been about the Romulan War.

Supposedly the reason for setting TATV during TNG's series run was to cash in on nostalgia. Though we can see how that resulted.

You say that as though it were a bad thing.
>>SNORT!!!<<

If it's any comfort, GENERATIONS should've been a TNG movie, all the way. Shoehorning in the aging TOS cast was a bad idea. By this point, Shatner was more bloated than ever and watching his attempts at upstaging Patrick Stewart is embarassing. Kirk's fight with Soran I could accept, but when he leaps off the bridge to the other side, I laugh out loud! Even Kirk's death has The Shat's style all up in it with how self-serving it is, "did we ... make a difference?" More than The Nexus, Shatner ruined GEN for me.

I'd take some more:

Vulcan
Ferengi

for a start.
