Re: OT: Star Trek Nemesis
Actually, several trek cast members were surprised by the tagline. But I think that's required since Nemesis paid out 20million to picard and data each in salary. The film's budget was 70million. They said they might make a few mixed crew or even an entirely new crew for the next films or, if this one really makes money, a sequel to nemesis....
They said that about insurrection and even filmed and alternate ending.......
Spiner said he was tired of the role and felt he couldn't move forward, so they wrote him out for good. They wrote in the character B-9 incase spiner wanted to return.
As for Riker, he said he was after the Enterprise... Maybe they should have wrote a subplot for riker working with shizon.... Anyways, riker gets to move on.
B5 v. DS9 scandal... JMS pitched the series to a few paramount executives who turned it down. A year later, just before B5 went into production, DS9 was announced. The basically, the claim is DS9 stole B5's basic story outline. There is some merit to the claim, then again there isn't. B5 had 4 wars in 5 season. DS9 had 3 wars in 7 season. Also, JMS didn't pitch it to the Trek guys. The people responsible for the other crappy UPN sci-fi got the pitch
