All right, I'm convinced. Henceforth, every Friday is Bell Riots Day, forever.
I struggle to put my feelings on speculation into words. Obviously, it has its place, and there would be something very wrong with the show if we didn't feel the urge to speculate about where the story is headed.
I think it's runaway speculation that spawns ridiculous conspiracy theories that really irks me, if that makes sense.
It all makes sense when you (don’t) think (too hard) about it!
You need to trademark this and license it to the BBC ASAP.
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.
Interesting take. Do you have an example?
