[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] posted by me [QUOTE] ...contain troubling [story]inconsistencies because they are very plot and scenery driven [/QUOTE] posted by RawCadet [QUOTE] To whomever said the director is more interested in story than detail: he was interested in some detail... he ordered a bunch of meaningless blinky lights [/QUOTE] Lights are scenery.. i said it was plot and scenery driven. What I meant: The writing staffs of other Trek productions might sit around and plan the story [i]Writer A: Well I feel it important that we have a big zero-G blood scene Writer B: Well phasers dont leave bodys with holes in them.. should we explain why they do all of a sudden? Writer C: We could just say they are contraband burning phasers Writer A: OK, ill write that line in[/i] We hear about stuff like this all the time. Okuda, Sternbach, the art department, the science advisor, whomever all approach the writers with their concerns before the shooting script is there. Nick Meyer i think, just shoots the scene as he imagines it, and sometimes stuff like that gets lost in the mix.. he is interested in the big picture .. the whole list i presented before, and additional stuff (why doesnt the enterprise have any visual sensors that point down? wouldnt they physically see torpedoes not coming from them?.. because it would interfere with the plot proceding as planned.. Doesnt Uhura speak Klingon? not if it interferes with the scene as planned.. Sure, the explanations exist.. the novelizations have fun with them.. the turbolift system was malfunctioning and took Scotty and Peters body to the bridge, the burning phasers issue, etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
