One more question I do have about this Nemisis Movie. I don't want anybody to tell me any spoilers, but is this going to be the Last show of the TNG crew? I've heard on a few occassions that it could be.

I've heard that it WAS going to be the Last TNG movie, but the actors had such a good time making it that they decided they'd be willing to do another one...

BTW - My opinion about Captain Kirk (and William Shatner, too) has seesawed a bit; he became something of a caricature for a while, but I think Shatner himself has become more interesting recently, and watching the old movies & shows has gotten more enjoyable... well, except for Star Trek 5... I agree that Picard was a much more believable captain, but Kirk was fun to watch. Janeway was practically manic-depressive; one moment she'd be bending over backwards to accommodate some idiot alien or whiny crew member, and then she'd be firing a full spread of torps & phasers at an unarmed vessel. Cisco, well, I liked him as Hawk in the old Spenser series; and I have to admit I enjoyed some of the "fluff" episodes in DS9. Real life has prevented me from watching Enterprise...

Director, regarding Janeway, haven't you ever heard that it's woman's perogative to change her mind?

15 years and Riker still won't make captain???

The future Version of Riker in "All Good Things" was an admiral.

That'd be cool if they did another one. Although just because they are willing to do another one doesn't mean that they will be in another one. I believe I heard some place that Brent Spiner (Data) was the only one to say that his role in the movies and shows has gotten boring. But that's just what I heard. It probably isn't true.

That is true. I think once Picard is too old to captain a ship he'll move on. But as long as Picard is in control of the Enterprise then Riker will always be #1. IMHO.

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

Well, I think its good to hear that at least the possibility of other movies is still hopeful. I just hope if they do continue on the Star Trek Saga, plan it right and basically forget about Voyager at least. Their best bet would be to relate any future movies to DS9 and TNG. I guess we will have to wait and see, but another movie probably will not happen for at least a few years. Wasn't Inserection released in 1998?

Hey gregebowman,

About your ST2 question, I do agree, that is sort of a problem about the young people. The only theory I could think of is maybe that the entire crew of the sleeper ship were Genetically enhanced by age too. Maybe they could live longer than normal humans. I know, sounds like a Trekkie theory to explain another inconsistancy, but I have no clue what other theory explains the young followers of Kahn.

P.S. I could be wrong about this, but I heard that in ST2, their was an entire chapter of how Kahns crew took over the Reliant. I heard it was a lot of hand to hand combat and killing. I guess they cut it from the final cut because it ran too long. On the other hand, maybe they cut it because it was rediculas because even the Reliant had a heavily armed security force. Unless they were caught comepletely by suprised, Genetic Enhancements wouldn't protect you from Phasers.
