I think they've since hashed things out over the years. I'm sure they're not like besties, but I think the 'she's taking over my show' attitudes have dulled over time.

Also we are getting the Section 31 project, just not how it was intially pitched.

I saw a couple of photos of the two of them together at a recent convention (can’t remember which one) and they were all smiles. Maybe that was just for the cameras, who knows. But I get the impression that they’ve buried the hatchet at this point.

I'll watch it. Expectations are low, however. Like that it's a movie so if it's crap it's just 2 hours of my life wasted and not 10-12 hours if it's a series, lol.

I'm honestly surprised it's happening at all. The project had been in development hell for so long, and then she won the Oscar and figured it was deader than dead after that.

This is 4D chess.

I like the idea of Wesley - Jack having a son of picard duel (adopted vs genetic, nurture vs nature)

It would have the added impact of likely working out in wesleys favor and largely invalidating all "lessons" the characters were supposed to learn during this adventure, as has been achieved in all other seasons of ST:P so far. So it seems to hold the mythic trifecta: Horribly obtuse nostalgia slamming, fanfiction nonsense level character rebuilding, and self plot immolation.

Oh, but before that our old hero ships will warp in for a heroic last stand, and will almost defeat them but Jack will locutus in the last moment, leaving it open for Wesley to become jesus.

Wesley tricks Jack into fighting him on Rubicun III, where he forces jack to stumble backwards into a greenhouse, shattering it. Jack is then executed, the Universe is saved, the end.

And then the Crystalline Entity and The Caretaker will mop up the rest of the Borg, domesticate Species 8472 and brainwash everyone into forgetting any of this ever happened.

Then the screen fades to black...but silence...and softly in the distance we hear...fingers snapping and voila! Farpoint Station and a young Jean-Luc Picard!

Credits.

And whats more concerning is the fact that nobody is even talking about the fact that the entire premise of this plot is driven by a literal 'Space Parade' replete with fireworks and everything.

We're just letting that bit go unmentioned?

Just ignoring that they brought all of their ships into one spot at the same time so they could shoot off fireworks in space for....reasons? Presumably?

A gathering of naval vessels for review for an important occasion is a tradition in many navies; things like coronations of new monarchs and founding anniversaries like the 250 year anniversary that "Frontier Day" was celebrating.


The biggest was probably the 1911 coronation of KGV when most of the prestige ships of the Royal Navy was there (supposedly 32 battleships). Even a much diminished Royal Navy in 1953 still looks pretty impressive for QE2's coronation.
