Famous last words 
That was a different creative team altogether. Berman had little to do with it and Braga none at all. That’s why DS9 was GOOD.
They were in a bar scene in the final episode. I figure they went out of the way to write all the characters out of an easy movie.
Hell, you’d have to make the movie about have Sisko came back and how family, Star Fleet and the Bajorans dealt with it.
My favorite idea would be the Prophets sending him to bring Kirk to the present to deal with something really bad ass.
However, for one reason or another I saw Boston Legal tonight.
Jesus.
It’s not like Shatner needs the money.
What’s the background on his character, drunk, crazy, Althimzers (sp) or a transporter accident?
The last scene was Kira and Jake looking out a window on the Promenade, thinking about Ben, not in Quark’s or in a holosuite.
And I like how they ended it. DS9 wasn’t a career-making position and the only person who ever really wanted to be there was Julian. Everyone else left… Odo to his people, Worf to his, and O’Brien to Earth to raise his family in peace after almost ten years of having them in constant danger.
Unlike TOS, TNG, VGR, and ENT, DS9 was dynamic. Things actually happened.
And that Paramount contacted them.
I agree. I would think that Riker and Troi end the holo-simulation of an historical event and then eulogize upon it, the subsequent historic events of the crew, and their deserved place in history, blah, blah, blah.
You see, TNG was so much more greaterer and so must cannonize the lowly Enterprise, give it some class, and a place in the history. Riker and Troi, their betters, had to make pronouncement and, “dub thee good, knight.”
If Riker and Troi are indeed in a class and teaching their child Trek History then I don’t want to disturb them. Just call me when they have no class.
I’m supposed to trust the taste of someone who posed for Maxim?
I’m not sure why some people are appalled at the idea…I mean, “it’s all a dream” would be lame, but there’s no indication that that’s what’s happening. It does sound like Babylon 5’s season four finale.
Can you give me a hint lest I have to read it all?
I’m not familiar with B5 but there’s still a bit of a difference here – that was a season finale whereas this will be a series finale. To invoke my own most favoritest series ever, although I loved Far Beyond the Stars, I’d’ve been **apoplectic **if it had been the series finale or even referenced in it.
The Babylon 5 people didn’t think they would be renewed for a 5th season, so in 421, they pretty much wrapped up the story line. The last episode of the season was four short vignettes looking at how the events in Babylon 5 were historically remembered…so there was a newsprogram one year in the future discussing the station, an academic seminar 100 years in the future, a government propagandist 500 years in the future, and Canticle of Lebowizian Catholic monks 1000 years in the future, and it showed how each group reinterpreted the Babylon 5 story to fit their beliefs and worldview.
Lebowizian, now that’s cool.
As far as I’ve been able to discern, the ENT finale may involve some sort of holographic re-creation of certain events, not a fantasy, holo-novel, or dream thing.
It still blows, though. I really didn’t want to see TNG folks on ENT. If this is UPN’s and the B and B’s idea of a “Valentine” to the fans, I’d hate to see what they’d give us for Christmas.
The B5 episode in question was written after the next season was renewed – the series finale was originally supposed to be there, but when they got renewed, they had to do something else. So it was never meant to be the series finale at all, it was a last-minute “OMG, we have to have an episode here!” situation.
Personally, I kinda like it.
