Me bad.

Anyway, the topic. Source: TrekToday

Berman & Braga speak continuity

Nice to see a mention to one of our favorite topics, the Eugenics Wars.

Actually, wasn't it in TMP that the "new" Klingon look premiered? Does he not even know that?

sigh

anyway...I think they could probably do a really cool TOS Klingon...or a blending of the TOS version and the TNG version...Something that allows for a bit of suspension of disbelief.

And what would that look like, considering the TOS Klingons were men with red paint on and beards, and TNG Klingons are men with red paint on, beards, and Cornish pasties on their heads?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

And before we all pick on poor B & B, the reporter isn't completely blameless either.

"Berman's first experience with fan feedback occured after an early TNG episode showed a phaser beam appearing out of a photon torpedo tube."

Glad to see that season 5 is considered "early".

Okay now people, let's not panick until we see the pilot episode. Then we shall decide on the correct course of action. Just stockpile lots of episodes of the other Trek series in case of an emergency.

What I mean by a combination of the two, Psy, is something more along the lines of some of the Klingons in Trek 6. Some smaller ridges. Uniforms and hair styles that harken back to TOS, but use a bit more style.

I wouldn't say make them just like TOS, but I wouldn't say make them look just like TNG either.

I think a nice blend is in order.

That would rock if they showed us the two different types of Klingons, and explained it all the way Okuda does, by saying that there are more than one race, just like here on Earth. It makes sense, it wouldn't complicate things any more than they already have been, an it would placate us 'hard-core' fans.

But then again, this is the Killer B's we're talking about here...

"'We're too busy really to sit down and read all of the Internet mail that comes in on all of this stuff.' Berman added, 'If we did that, we'd have to hire other people to do the television series.'"

Erm... How about hiring other people to read the mail? Duh...

"'...starting I think with "Star Trek II," which took place really at the same time as Capt. Kirk, they were using makeup very similar to Worf.'"

It was TMP.

"Braga added, 'It was "Star Trek III."'"

It was TMP.

"Berman's first experience with fan feedback occured after an early TNG episode showed a phaser beam appearing out of a photon torpedo tube. ...'I didn't know the difference. I had no idea which was which.'"

Can we please get someone who can work on the show for years and years and actually come away knowing something about it?!

To be fair, he says he didn't know the difference. I bet he does now.

And again, is it necessary for the Executive Producer to know that sort of stuff? Is it necessary for the Exec Producer of NYPD Blue to know the difference between a 218 and a 420 situation? Is it necessary for the Exec Producer of ER to know which are bacterial diseases, and which are viral?
