It's GOLD, Jerry!

Apparently before longtime Trek writer/producer Michael Piller passed away in 2005, he wrote a fairly lengthy book about the writing of Star Trek: Insurrection. Paramount never let it get published, though. TrekCore somehow got hold of the unfinished manuscript, and put it up for fans to read. Here's what they have to say about it:

...How did I not know Michael Piller was dead? I feel like such a bad Trekkie. D:

He passed away from a brain tumor.

I didn't know either, I feel like I must have somehow dropped into space since '05 or something. D:

Thanks for sharing, this is great! I'll have to download it and read it sometime in the distant future when I have time :(

"It is not sexy."

I can't help but giggle madly imagining Patrick Stewart saying anything to do with sex. Especially after Extras...

Is that the "I've seen her with her clothes off. She tries to dress again, but I've seen everything?" thing?

peefy September 24 2010, 01:58:31 UTC

Yes.

Very fascinating, when I have time I'll have to download it.

SIR PATRICK WANTS MORE SEXY IN HIS SCRIPTS.

DAMNIT PILLER, GIVE IT TO HIM!!!

And if I was on the phone with Patrick Stewart and he called me darling I might just die.

You know, for some strange reason I can't picture him saying the word "sexy", LOL.

And I also think that the love/lust thing is suits more Kirk than Picard. :)

Honestly though, I hate to say it, but I do not agree with Patrick Stewart that a movie needs a romance/to be sexy (he uses that as a criticism). I think that the romance in Insurrection was forced, boring, and unappealing (was it because of the magical effects of the planet?? making Picard feel all young and *spicy*? I don't know). Picard is not Kirk. He doesn't fall in love/lust every episode, so he doesn't need to in the movies either.

I totally agree. I actually really dislike romance getting in the way of the story. I like subtext, but ewww, mushy stuff. ;)
