  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' showrunner says his biggest regret is not getting Shatner on the show

    Jump

  • That's a fair point. And I might be holding on too much to it as a perfect ending when it really was never going to be. Those characters will always be too big not to come back, whether it's another reboot, a recast, or a terrible AI homunculus.

  • Well, it's a different ship, different crew, 80 years later. It may carry on from TOS thematically in a lot of ways, but they also did a lot narratively to keep them in their own respective sandboxes. And I think that was for the best.

    I'll compare it to the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Those films are very concerned with showing us what happened to Han, Luke, and Leia, and with replicating the backdrop and villains of the original films, and I think it's largely to the detriment of really establishing the new characters as the stars of their own films. I think the TNG approach, keeping its distance to a much larger extent, was healthier.

  • Glad you do! I do actually think it's decent TNG outing, and the 1701-D never looked better, but as something that supercede's TUC's very satisfying farewell to Shatner's Kirk? It's barely enough screen time to justify putting him on the poster, and no real new character development -- TWoK already hammered home that a quiet life doesn't suit him. I'd have preferred they let the TNG films stand on their own.

  • TIL Anson Mount is a doughy woman. Or are we referring to Rebecca Romijn? She’s not waifish enough for your taste?

  • Picard also dropped some French on occasion (memorably, “merde”), so the UT has definitely always had some mechanism to allow some flavour through.

  • Goldsman’s biggest regret was not being able to bring William Shatner back to play a version of Kirk who decided to stay in Depression-era New York with Edith Keeler (Joan Collins), a soup kitchen operator he fell in love with in the episode “The City on the Edge of Forever.”

    I do think Star Trek needs to be less backwards looking, but giving Shatner one last farewell that isn’t a disappointment like Generations was wouldn’t have been the worst thing in the world.

  • Enterprise being able to terraforming planets.

  • I’ve always hated the new effects. Some of the matte painting replacements work pretty well, but the ship exterior stuff sticks out like a sore thumb.

  • Records indicate it had quite the fan following, too.

  • DTI neve caught wind of it

    DTI might have orchestrated it. Best way to keep Earth’s timeline on course is to give us a roadmap to follow!

  • Always loved the theme. The ship and set design are aces, too. But I’ve never been able to get through more than a handful of episodes of the show itself.
