The world was starting to become a different place in 1991 when "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" was released.
Not only were fans reeling from the 1989 disaster that was "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier," but the collapse of the Soviet Union created the possibility that enemies didn't have to be enemies forever.
That mindset was brilliantly expressed by the writing team of Leonard Nimoy, Nicholas Meyer, Denny Martin Flinn (and we guess a little by Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal, something that has been historically disputed by Nimoy) with the Federation, and especially Capt. Kirk, having to explore the possibility that if the Klingons could not be friends, they could at least be the annoying in-laws we all have to tolerate from time to time.

You know what??
I have an idea.
If those guys at Star Trek Phase II can produce a Trek episode every year.... why couldn’t we produce our own scifi show? Something more original. Something we would own all the rights to and could actually attempt to make money on.
I bet a good few freepers would be interested.
BUMP
An idea.. see last post
Damned right. I agree with you.
Me I was hoping for BSG/Firefly crossover....
FReeper Films Presents....
A battle between good and evil. The forces of Liberaldom threaten humanity itself, and only a few good men (and women) can stop them!
The Galactica arrives at the Veld? Decides to liberate them from the alliance?
C'mon, guys. Admit that something just went to warp speed...and it's not a starship.
Yep....The Galactica could take down the Alliance..
Speak for yourself.
I'm game.... Here we go...
Field Marshal General For Life MarineBrat looked solemnly upon the button that would launch the doomsday weapon. "It's not in my nature to kill" he had said many times to the crew of the most prestigious ship in the fleet, Galt's Gulch, "but it is in my nature to protect FReedom." As his finger dropped, he thought of his wife and children back home on Mars, fighting to keep the Commiecrats from infecting their world. The ship shuddered with the launch of the massive matter/antimatter missile, which contained the mummy of Helen Thomas and a pretty girl in the warhead, soon to be brought together in a massive explosion that would destroy the DUmmietard fleet.
lol!!
Sulu is your helmsman.
Now that hurt!

‘Make sure the next one deals with modern-day issues,’”
Sure fans really want to be preached at by Hollywood lefties. Is he sure that wasn’t the critics demanding this?
