The only way this could be good is if she destroys Section 31 but that canonically can't happen.

Considering how much wheel-spinning or dumb side plots there can be in modern star trek, maybe having a 120-160 minute constraint could be a good thing. Just get that beginning, middle, and end in there without setting up a drip fed mystery plot and cliff hangers.

It will be like those direct to video disney sequels that were just a few episodes of a cancelled series stapled together.

The six-hour miniseries probably had an hour of plot and plenty of contrived 'setpieces.' Now it'll just be 1 and a half hours of terrible storytelling instead of 5 and some change.

xerxus posted:https://trekmovie.com/2023/04/15/jonathan-frakes-talks-tng-bridge-reunion-picard-finale-and-how-it-sets-up-star-trek-legacy/ Honestly, one of the best things about TNG back in 1987 was that it was a completely clean break. Zero ties to the original cast beyond being in Starfleet and having the ship carrying an honor name. The only other tie was ancient Dee Kelly sassing Data for a minute or two. Then, they let TNG actually be it's own thing before bringing in more references to the old days, like Scotty and Spock. Penitent posted:I'm curious how changelings managed to infiltrate all of Starfleet when Vadic makes it clear that she escaped from Starfleet Guantanamo with 9 of her peers that were also held captive. Vadic said that the changes were something that could be passed on to other changelings. Which would have made a great way to explain the bird crew. "We discovered that we could pass on the changes, though at great cost. Shorter life, cut off from the Great Link, great pain. And, unfortunately, not all of us can handle it. These poor souls are trapped in their forms. They wear these clothes and masks to hide their shame. But I am proud of them, Picard. They sacrificed everything, their very essence, for a chance at vengeance. And I will honor their sacrifice, and give them their vengeance. Starting with you."

Gaz-L posted:Was the WGA strike a factor? Not especially, because as I understand it they have 11 scripts that they were whittling down for a six-episode miniseries. But Yeoh had a sudden window of availability pop up and Kurtzman decided to jump on it, because drat the torpedoes, full speed ahead, he wants his Section 31 baby. And when I say this deal came together quickly, I mean quickly. As within the last 72 hours.

Do you know how self-contained this will be? I can’t imagine they’d be able to resist promoting SNW at the same time with some kind of connection, if at all possible.

Lol. Lmao. At least it's just a movie and hopefully it's awful enough not to have the "all the feels" Twitter fandom crowd clamoring for a full series like Trek fans seem to do for every little thing these days.

Aaron Sorkin's SportsNight, but it's Georgiou trying to balance the many personalities in S31 HQ while running a successful galactic spy network. Walk-and-talk and spinny cam together at last. "T'plak!" "Yes Georgiou?" "What's the latest on the Tal Shiar cell at Beta-Ceti Prime?" "The Tal Shiar?" "Yes, the Tal Shiar." "The Romulan Tal Shiar?" "No, the brother-sister singing duo Tal & Shiar -- I hear they're performing in residence on Risa. Of. Course. The. Romulan. Tal. Shiar!" "Our informant on Beta-Ceti Prime says the Tal-" "You know, it's been a hot minute since I saw Risa. God I could use a vacation." "Georgiou?" "Yes! T'plak? "The Tal Shiar on Beta-Ceti Prime?" "You know where the phrase 'in a hot minute' comes from?" "No ma'am." "I wonder if it's related to 'in a New York minute.' The Tal Shiar cell on..." "Beta-Ceti Prime?" "Beta-Ceti Prime!" "Still working on it." High five, end scene. Nice Tuckpointing! fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Apr 18, 2023 |
