Regardless of what you think of his movies, Tarantino is an absolute ur-nerd and definitely gives a poo poo.

What comes out of that, we'll see.

Hard to say. SJ Clarkson's Star Trek 4 and Tarantino's Star Trek were being developed completely independently from one another, but after Pine and Hemsworth walked from doing 4 (Hemsworth said in a recent interview, in very diplomatic but clear terms, that it wasn't over money but because he thought the script was terrible), and afterwards Clarkson's movie was said to be officially dead, I wouldn't think it outside the realm of possibility that they try to use the Kelvin cast.

I hope they don't, though, because Quinto Spock suuuuuuuuuuucks.

I think he could do a good job if he absolutely does not make the film about Federation characters. Do a Klingon epic, a Ferengei heist film, a Cardassian spy-thriller. Give us a perspective that lets him be him without tarnishing the Federation further.

I would enjoy this, but I would also really prefer it if Star Trek stayed in the PG, maaaaybe PG-13 range. I don't think R would fit Trek any more than it would Star Wars.

Heh, in DS9: Apocalypse Rising, they have Jake leaning over a railing to watch people walk across the promenade, but he's so tall at this point he has to basically fold in half to do it.

It's also hilarious how Sisko keeps doing the Klingon voice even when there's no reason to, like after Martok exposes them.

quote:

Star Trek: The Next Generation

In the Deep Space 9 Starfleet Operations, Captain Benjamin Sisko and Chief O'Brien were called in to discuss the disappearance of Professor Arrigo sooty5 who had been on leave for a recent engagement here in the Federation. Arrigo had been set up by the Cardassians as a mock scholar and the Cardassians wanted to send a letter to Starfleet before he left; Sisko decided it was more than just a procedure that would be high treason. After O'Brien offered his desperation for help to Sisko, Sisko agreed to help save him, along with helping him with his work to familiarize himself with the wiring necessary to fix the potato chip dispenser in the mess hall to avoid getting a "sandwich as pink as a fly's bum." With repairs on the local maintenance onStar collegeYalaors finally included Cardassian fixes to Freesides machinery. Rush, a Weyoun, was appointed "Surgeon General" after the recommendation for a female physician. After some time, Sisko�. Meanwhile, Chief O'Brien had concluded that the idea he should seek another arm and have Kitty Pryde come to the station to find him was not a good thought�. Meanwhile, Bashir got some good news. He had survived the trinary star near Lursa which steered the wormhole he was designing� If Bashir survived that he'd be doing so as an assimilated Cardassian. Worf and Odo were on the case for the Ferengi. Quark was looking into harvesting mulberry juice from monstrous fruit, which unfortunately he was this time again surprised to find handled by �sophisticated food workers! One other off screen aspect of the setting was that supplies of moonshine) were running low. Debauchery on the station continued. When Epps demanded several grams of Lysian grain and Bajoran pulp he was sent to Bajoran Singsham to be
sentenced to be shot. Later, the Unnatural Blot invades Cardassian space and the Jem'Hadar destroy Washington Spacedock using the massive wormhole bomb (which wasn't part of the deal at the time and is still not explained from either side).

The following six hours saw several more developments, courtesy of Bashir suddenly having a sexual encounter with Quark, Romwell's failure in his effort to use a Changeling to kill Klingons in their trysts and the arrival of a dangerously rare animal.

Reference Books

Reception

AM Best Companion (Anthology, 1989): p. 436, "Quark"

4/15/01: Bryan Fuller, then President and Chief Creative Officer for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, described this episode and its characters as follows: "To me, the episode was brilliant. And yet the character was a conundrum, a teaching moment. We talked about characters like that � again, it's easy to write plot, it's difficult to write character," he nonetheless continued, "For example, we talked about O'Brien's frustration at Quark when he's running a serious facility, is a good idea? And Bashir talking about Cardassians' frustration with him and Cardassians who are trying to say 'Hey, that's just what the Cardassians do.'" (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 115)

Robert Hewitt Wolfe said, "Quark is like a piece of gew,wale, turf." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 117)

James Cawley regarded this episode as "remarkably fatalistically intertwined with the original offering". (Star Trek Monthly issue 27, p. 65)

Remastered information

Production timeline

This episode aired on Tom Renda's recommendation and after the first viewing. It was shot on December 8 and 23, 1993. It was partially scripted on November 25, 1992 and partially teleplay on January 4, 1993, based on Michael Piller's script. As Renda predicted, the first viewing of the episode prompted Odo to attempt to establish a relationship with Quark, as he was distracted by his work at DS9 and by the absence of Quinn on the station. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 65)

More like the junior cadets, and whatever answer they give, he either side-eyes them or gives a little sigh of despair mixed with disgust.

Either that or it's part of the ultimate millennia-tested PUA technique that he learned from the Iconian gatekeeper.
