But a far lesser known crossover occurred between Star Trek and Gilligan's Island by arranging a guest appearance by actor Bob Denver, to see if a comedy spin-off of the space show might catch on. Sadly, it did not....

Wait... are you serious or is this photoshop? I can't find any sources on this.

Which would have made some scenes like Fries looking at his wife TAS good, but then be completely uneven with the rest of the movie. Which might make it funnier.

I mean given this was the Schumacher duology and all, and it was the era of the return of camp, which diehard Batman fans did not want as they were already used to the dark and gritty, this wouldn't be a surprise to have a more tone deaf story arc had Patrick Stewart given the role. Though I really wish we could've had Rowan Atkinson as Mad Hatter, as oppose to Coolio as Scarecrow and Wesley Snipes as Man-Bat.

It should be real

This. The movie itself kind of blew but this was one of the best Kirk moments. I both sympathized and agreed.

Also just re Picard, obviously Shatner understands his most well known character much better than Stewart does his own.

I really enjoyed the shatnerverse novels he helped make. For the first 2 books at least ( I haven't read all of them) it really felt like he had a handle on the character.

He did a good job making Kirk flawed without making him impotent. The first book ironically is less about Kirk facing the actual cookie cutter villain and more with him coming to terms with the fact that his journey as a star ship captain is over.

He also played Denny Crane in Boston Legal, a role he did so well in I routinely forgot he was Captain Kirk. Stewart really has nothing other than Picard and Dr. X, all characters from "low brow" popcorn movies.

Denny crane is the shit man. Boston legal varys in quality but Denny crane is the best republican, gun loving dementia patient around. The star trek references are few but always brilliant.


Shatner had more then a few law show roles I'd love to check out.

Well, he was in The Prince of Egypt, a few X-Men movies and importantly in American Chad as the Sigma Male Avery Bullock

He was in one of the last good animated ninja turtle movies, and a skin head in the green room.

Check out the film "The Intruder" aka "Shame" aka "I Hate Your Guts" starring Shatner directed by Roger Corman. I think it slipped into public domain so there are many copies all over YouTube in varying states of quality.

Coming off of "A Bucket of Blood" starring Dick Miller you can see this is a change for Corman. It's about some KKK carpet bagger going to a southern town to start race riots and ensure white supremacy or something. Notable for Shatner's unhinged Hitlerian public speech that apparently distressed the IRL townspeople present. Years later Corman said he realized he shouldn't be so "balls to the wall" about social issues, or something. Maybe he should have teamed with Gene Roddenberry. After "The Intruder" Corman moved on to all those Vincent Price movies.
 
And speaking of scenes that were deleted from Original Star Trek.....

After an Enterprise landing party is captured by the Vians, they torture Kirk just for the heck of it.

Next they went to town on McCoy:

Finally, they dragged Lt Noel away and savagely tortured and raped her....

However, the final scene was too intense for teenage boys of the 1960's
to handle, resulting in over 5 million spontaneous ejaculations across
America. As a result, this episode was heavily censored ....

Well yea. Why would god need a starship? Kirk was right to call out that bullshit.
 
I heard someone speculate that the evolution of the changelings is done by fusing them with humanoids through the transporter. See Vadic's hand and Jack's visions. The changelings may have already tried this with Jack, but because Picard had borg nanobots in his jizz, Jack is immune, though with unforseen side effects.

The episode was ok, I liked seeing Ro, which was genuinely surprising. Those were actually good character moments. Too bad she saw the bomb and just gave up all hope as well as stupidly giving up her life.

Since when do starships have "thin walls?" Aren't there dampening fields or whatever?

Why are tricorders useless in the 25th century? Shouldn't they be better than ever? Crusher cutting up the changeling would have shocked McCoy with her violent medievalism--but now we know nu-changelings only turn to goo when properly sliced and diced. Ok then.

Rafi tells Worf it was a bad idea to kill Sneed, so that's good. Vulcan gangster with his Idic bling was funny.
