Happy "Labour" Day to you, too.
I like the cut of this guy's jib.
IIRC he acknowledged it was well-made for what it was.
Honestly, I think he just realized he had no choice.
The conflict between Roddenberry and Meyer is pretty well-known, but I agree it would be...interesting to see the original documents.
And with them, a brand new holographic representation of a Starfleet Bridge Officer who famously busted a ghost of her own!
Maybe he can play both...
Apparently it was an Ira Behr thing:
Ira Steven Behr has a fascination with the Battle of the Alamo and he and Hans Beimler included a reference in "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night". Later, Ronald D. Moore and Rene Echevarria began to include references in their scripts. Some fans thought that the writers were hinting the series would end with a battle like the Alamo, which the writers had no intention of doing, having already featured such scenes in "The Way of the Warrior". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)
Briggs could do it, no question.
I can't help but respect how utterly full of shit that man is.
Follow-up question: do we want to start one, in this space?
It will definitely be good to have Shirley back - her absence last season was very conspicuous.
Paramount Parks shut down way back in 2006, so if they don't want to try to re-enter that space (which I think would be financially...unwise), partnering with existing parks is probably the best move.
You need to trademark this and license it to the BBC ASAP.
