The race episode in Voyager was "Drive".
Hardly blame him for mucking up the name - all the episode titles for Voyager were so unimaginative - and all one word. Gah! (well not ALL but most - also exclude episodes that had a "The" at the start.

I like some of what I'm hearing from this guy, (multiple ships and crews, "story is big and epic, and it isn't as antiseptic as the television stories had to be") though that working title is terrible, and I'm not sure how the film's events (presumably the war with the Romulans) are "the beginning" of Star Trek, for that matter. I suppose he's speaking of how the RW led to the founding of the Federation, although the beginnings of that have already been seen on ENT...

Well it might follow the curses of the odd numbered Treks and suck, but one can hope for the best

It's not antiseptic?!? There goes my dreams of watching T'Pol get a rubdown on the big screen...

I don't see how you can deal with a story a couple of years after the events of Enterprise that "stars everything" without incorporating Archer if he was supposed to be so involved in the founding. I'm assuming it actually takes place between the last real episode of Enterprise and the sucky finale, which I don't count.

Y'know...I've missed almost all of season four of Enterprise and I really dont intend to watch the last episode when I buy season 4 of DVD.
I just dont think I'm missing anything.
Now, they could mention "President Archer" giving orders to the fleet and tie things in nicely.

John Logan had neat things to say about his script as well.
Though I think breaking things up a little, as far as what sorts of crew star, could definitely help. That is to say, when every show is about your command crew, all your stories are from that perspective. Which is just fine, and certainly natural, but more so for TV than film. Maybe. Like, war movies do not tend to focus on the generals.
Except for Patton. Er, and any movie that's about a general. But, aside from all of those.
I looked up all the names on the IMDb, just for fun.

DONT talk bad about John Logan's magnificent comedic script!
If only Ed Wood could have directed it.....

Actually the Logan script for Nemesis was not that bad. He incorporated a lot of stuff, and it was edited out. Actually it wasn't really edited out, more hacked out. The editing was the bad part, and the directing was not great either. I would have prefeered John Franks to direct, or have former Trek starts direct.

I cant imagine the lame dune-buggy scene was added in.
I really would have liked to see Wesley's toast at the wedding though- editing that out when so much shit remained was just....wrong.
Fuck, it was not even among the deleted scenes- and the lame ass child-restraint captain's chair bit was included!
