So, rumor has it that CBS is expanding* Star Trek* to more shows, and Patrick Stewart may be returning in a new mini-series or series.
New* Star Trek*? Patrick Stewart? Does that make you sit up?
I am excited, but a little apprehensive. The “reboots” did not live up to the originals, and I believe J J Abrams has completely betrayed the Great Bird of the Galaxy’s vision, which is what made TOS and ST:TNG so great. I haven’t even bothered with STD, because 1.) I don’t want to pay for it; and 2.) Everything I read and heard about it made me certain I would hate the worldview of the writers.
I’m guessing some Dopers are also Trekkers. Got anything else to add to the rumors? Any speculation about a new show?
I’ve never heard of it being treated as such, except ironically.
I get not liking the flute episode if you also don’t like the one after Best of Both Worlds, set on Earth. If you’re there for the space opera, the episodes that deviate from that might not be to your liking.
But I would hope you could take a step back and see it as a quality episode that you don’t like. Same as I can look at The Great Gatsby and hate it, while still getting why people consider it “literature.”
I would love this to be true but for now it is just a Click Bait headline that has no substance. There is no script or offer. Just “Wouldn’t it be great if…”.
In the movie Nemesis. It was a prototype called B4. It was very literal-minded and did not have a personality like Data or Lore did. It was probably too primitive to have transplanted Data’s mental patterns into and keep him alive that way. In the non-canon novels, Geordi was ordered to dismantle B4 and pack him off to the Daystrom Institute for study, which Geordi did without protest.
