Well that's a shock. Given what he did with 1-3 it can hardly be a surprise.

I have to say I would love to see a movie about tiny people fighting big monster Midichlorians, if only for the perpetual shrieking howls of outrage it would provoke.

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

That's an off day script idea for a TV series when you have ran out of ideas to fill out a season... That sort of episode which is usually the worse of that season too.

I wonder how Rick McCallum would have felt about this one.

Hey. say what you will, but Sub Rosa was absolutely brilliant! As a comedy, that is, but still... That episode alone makes season 7 worthwile. ;)

As for the Star Wars idea... Yeah, it's not great. The artist impressions make it even sillier.

I am sure some Trek writer came up with a script idea that they had to shrink a shuttlecraft down to microscopic levels to go save one of the members of the crew from a fatal illness. Other writers probably looked at him like he was stupid.

They did have something like that in DS9 but that was a fun episode.

Or that they wouldn't get away with such a blatant ripoff of Fantastic Voyage.

Actually, given the direction they went, copying of content, acting, writing, direction and general production of SW 7 & 8, this would have been a massive improvement! Screw you Disney!
