I read once that the original plan was for the captain to be French but Patrick Stewart killed it so hard in the audition they were like fuck it, I guess he’ll be British.
But when he goes to his childhood home it is a vineyard in France, but nobody has a French accent, everyone either has a British or American accent.
The sound track to Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey and then all the artists on there- kiss, slaughter, winger, faith no more, megadeath, etc.
IMO 90s Star Trek is peak Trek. I can’t stand the original series but I did suffer through it for context for the rest of the franchise. It’s progressive for the 1960s, but the distance we’ve come since then makes it seem absolutely awful. I find the sound effects grating as well.
Authorized novels written in the last 25 years make Kirk much less of a smug, womanizing, drinking on the job prick than the show and movies do.
Picard, Sisko and Janeway all make up for what Kirk lacks.
What a good boy!!
