We found lots of nerdy spots in the first six filmshere.
Oh, and there are some major spoilers…
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
1.
All Good Things, theNext Generationfinale, aired on the 23rd May.
The Captain then exclaims that hes not going to the Enterprise-B ceremony…. and thats final!
The cut scene is on the Blu-ray and some DVD releases.
All other Excelsior appearances were CG.
The actress recently won a special jury prize at the 2015 Sundance Film festival for her work on Advantageous.
At least he bowed out saving 47 El-Aurians.
This story also marks the only time William Shatner played Kirk without Leonard Nimoy playing Spock.
This is why the vessel appears a little different from the TV show in exterior shots.
Oh, and a new carpet, just in time to wreck it.
The set hands also appear to have forgotten to change a few expired lightbulbs…
11.
On the Main Engineering set of the Enterprise-D, there is a schematic of the impulse drive system.
One of the components is labelled Infinite Improbability Generation.
If Douglas Adams is right, surely the Warp Drive is redundant?
The version of the film released includes a re-shot section where Kirk and Picard come up against Soran.
The late changes to the film not only effected the novelization.
Bridge… we have a new problem.
Prior to all this he started off directing an episode ofCoronation Street(!)
and his only other two cinema film credits areUnstoppableandLetters From A Killer.
The Enterprise, NCC-1701-E is a Sovereign Class Starship and was designed by John Eaves.
The end result is a much more elegant and swifter looking ship than its predecessor.
His military acting even includedBand Of BrothersandFlags Of Our Fathers.
Or did a new timeline get created?
Then again, potentially every time travel story could have created another branching timeline/universe.
Temporal physics is enough to give anyone a headache.
Im a Doctor not a doorstop!
TheFirst Contactsoundtrack includes many musical moments fromStar Trek: The Motion Picture.
At one stage, actor Michael Dorn even pitched the idea of aCaptain Worfseries!)
Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
32.
Insurrection takes place in parallel to the Dominion War that is mainly depicted inStar Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Indeed, the narcotic used to control the Jem Hadar, Ketracel White, is mentioned.
She also played Dr. Rosalie Octavius inSpider-Man 2as well as a number of other roles.
Zerbe, an Emmy award winner, took the role of Admiral Dougherty.
Anthony Zerbe went on to appear in bothMatrixsequels,True Crime, andAmerican Hustle.
With Commander Riker as acting Captain (sans-beard), Commander LaForge becomes acting First Officer.
The actress also appeared inStar Trek: Enterprise,Dr.
Quinn Medicine Woman,Sliders, andJAG, among many others.
Its reported that the director even kept calling Levar Burton Laverne and thought Commander LaForge was an alien.
How miffed would you be if you were Captain Picard by this point?
However, it could all have been far worse…
42.
This was something Paramount wanted and Rick Berman was intending to plug her in to the film.
Worf, again, was a little more wide eyed.
If you are watching in widescreen, and you pay attention, that is.
Wil had some lines, in a conversation with Gates and Patrick.
Titan, Will Rikers new command.
I estimate 47 minutes of that was probably good stuff.
Patrick Stewart brought Singer onto the film following them working together on theX-Menfranchise.
It in itself traces back to The 47 Society at Pomona college in California, which the writer attended.
Next up: well look at the nerdy spots in the latest twoStar Trekmovies.
Watch for that in a couple of weeks…
