If Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> came to the big screen, it largely followed in the footsteps of the films that had come before. Movies on motives The original series<\/em> established a strange pattern where the odd-numbered films were weaker and the even-numbered films stronger. Motion picture was slow and heavy, for example, at that time Wrath of the Khan<\/em> was exciting and eventful. As for the TNG crew movies, Generations<\/em> was a jagged, nostalgic mess at the time First contact<\/em> was an unqualified hit. If Rebellion<\/em> turned out to be nothing more than a prolonged episode The next generation<\/em>fans consoled themselves that the next even-numbered film would blow us all away.<\/p>\n

unfortunately Star Trek<\/a>: Nemesis<\/em> was the train wreck that brought the TNG movies to a screeching halt and nearly killed the franchise. Now, almost a quarter of a century later, fans are still debating where this ambitious film (Picard fights an evil clone played by Tom Hardy!) went wrong. However, we need not wonder anymore. Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner’s hit podcast recently featured a Nemesis alum Ron Perlman<\/a> as a guest All of them in turn blamed the failure of this film on the director Stewart Byrd, whom Perlman condemned in the harshest way: “He was not a director, he was an editor to whom the studio owed a favor.”<\/p>\n

Podcast for interlocutors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you don’t know, Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner<\/a> have a new podcast Talking to Brent and Johnny<\/em>. It’s not designed to be a Star Trek podcast, but they both continue to host guests from the franchise that made them both famous. In a recent episode, they hosted Ron Perlman Hellboy<\/a><\/em> an actor who performed in Star Trek: Nemesis<\/em> like a creepy Rehman. One day the conversation turned to Nemesis<\/em>Perlman pulled no punches about director Stewart Byrd, someone he said Star Trek: Nemesis<\/em> the actors agreed that he “didn’t have any people skills.”<\/p>\n

Afterward, Perlman kept going, stating that Baird “wasn’t a director, he was an editor to whom the studio owed a favor.” Elaborating, Perlman claimed that Baird “rescued a lot of their turkeys. They would bring him in when they had a turkey and he would cut it up and make it look. So he was a very talented editor, but he wasn’t a director. . . . He’s not a director.” This refers to the fact that Baird was a well-known editor who previously worked on such fan-favorite films as A deadly weapon<\/em> and the original Superman<\/em>. Later he worked on two of the best modern James Bond<\/a> movies: Casino Royale<\/em> and Heavy rain<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

As for the two Star Trek: The next generation<\/a><\/em> actors, Brent Spiner was more moderate in his criticism: he agreed that Bair “wasn’t the director” but gave him props as an editor. It’s really fair: Baird might have been the worst choice to direct Nemesis<\/em>but his killer work editing some of the coolest franchises in the world has earned him a place in the geek hall of fame. Frakes was more direct in his criticism, noting that Baird rejected offers of advice from himself and Patrick Stewart<\/a> “because we made 182 episodes and three movies together.” However, the director “was not at all interested in talking to us about how we spin.”<\/p>\n

Almost everyone in the room agreed that Baird was a very talented editor. However, Ron Perlman was convinced that getting the job from such an inexperienced director showed that First priority<\/a> had no respect<\/strong> for Star Trek: Nemesis<\/em> or the skills needed to bring this film to life. “(It’s) an attitude, like, ‘anyone can do it, you know, let’s just give it to that guy.'”<\/p>\n

I sense a terrible headmaster, Captain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No matter who you blame Nemesis<\/em> was possibly the worst Star Trek movie ever. Its critical and commercial failure marked the end of films featuring the actor The next generation<\/em> the crew When the franchise returned, it was in form Star Trek<\/em> (2009), a complete reboot The original series<\/em>. Ironically, this film also featured the Enterprise fighting an advanced Romulan warship led by a bald, charismatic commander. This kind of creative theft might make you think JJ Abrams<\/a> (Hiking<\/em>film director) was once a very good director. But at least he’s a good editor, right?<\/p>\n

I mean the one who forgot to take off all those glares. Oh, and forgot to do The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> make some sense. But, uh, otherwise gifted, we promise! <\/p>\n
