TOS actors vs. TNG (during filming of TUC)

[toughlittleship]

I had honestly never heard about this until I read Captain's Logs. Hard to believe Nimoy had the ending line changed to "another crew" instead of "a new generation" due to Michael Dorn's comments.

I much prefer the final version, because at first you surmise that it may either be the Enterprise-B or the Enterprise-D crew that Kirk is referring to in his final captain's log, but when he says "Boldly going where no man...where no one has gone before." That was beautiful. Absolutely, beautiful.

The story goes how Michael Dorn bragged (boasted) to interviewers that Star Trek 7 was going to be a Next Generation film, effectively trying to take away some of the thunder from the original cast.

Sounds petty to me. Re: Nimoy.

And then Koenig and Takei said something like "TNG has no message". Nimoy's actions were weird, after all, TNG did do a promo for TUC with Unification.
