Titolo: Ronald D. Moore ne dice una giusta

I think that Star Trek, in its DNA, is a television show. The features are
great. Theyï¿½re a lot of fun and theyï¿½ve certainly opened it up to a lot of
different audiences, but the features all are basically atypical episodes,
if you think about it. The features are very big action-adventure movies,
lots of spectacle, run and jump, shoot-em-up and blowing things up. The
fate of the Earth, or the universe itself, is always at stake. Itï¿½s always
about the captain, and one other character has a strong B-story, and
everyone else sort of has very small roles beyond that. But Star Trek, as
originally conceived, and as you saw play out in all the other series, was
really a morality play every week, and it was about an ensemble of players.
They were exploring science fiction ideas, sociological ideas and moral
ideas. Thatï¿½s really what the shows are about, and the movies are just
pitched in a different way and at a different audience. The movies will do
a story where the captain is split in two by a transporter accident and one
half is evil and one half is good, and the whole story is about where does
the nature of a manï¿½s strength come from? What makes a man a man? Is it his
good side? His bad side? Or how the two come together to make something
greater than the sum of its parts? The movies will never do that. Theyï¿½ll
never do a day-in-the-life story with Data or something like ï¿½Lower Decks,ï¿½
where you go explore the other characters. Theyï¿½ll never do all the things
that all of us who are fans fell in love with this franchise for.  So I
think, at some point, Star Trek will return to television, and that would
be great. Iï¿½d love to watch the weekly adventures again just because it
gives you an opportunity to explore lots of other things besides the
action-adventure component.
 
Dino Monzon wants to know: Why weren't any DS9 characters used in First
Contact? Having Capt. Sisko on hand wouldï¿½ve been cool as he also had a
history with the Borg, and perhaps the Prophets could've intervened during
the Borg invasion of the Federation.
 
Moore: I think we talked about having Quark in it at one point, but that
didnï¿½t work out. I donï¿½t remember the reasons why it didnï¿½t happen. I think
it was budget or schedule, and it kind of went by the boards. Technically
speaking, Worf was a Deep Space Nine character at that point, and so was
the Defiant, and they were in the film. But I think there was a bigger
strategic choice that was made above my head and Brannonï¿½s to not
cross-pollinate too many of the Star Trek franchises. They kind of wanted
them to have their own fan bases and integrity. I think they were also
trying to make First Contact as friendly to the first-time Trekkie as
possible and there was probably a feeling that once you start bringing in
characters from other franchises, you really have to explain it and do more
backstory.

Non è che ci volesse Moore per saperlo, eh! :)
