Tangent66: THE DEATH OF JAMES T. KIRK
Two years after James Kirk died in STAR TREK: GENERATIONS, I recall
finding a book on the shelves at my local Barnes & Noble called "The
Return" - written by William Shatner and Judith & Garfield
Reeves-Stevens. The cover showed a reprise of the GENERATIONS movie
poster with the tagline "Legends never die..." I picked up the book
reflexively and considered for a moment what I was holding. Placing it
back on the shelf, I realized that the damage done by the movie was too
significant to erase with some make-good, non-canon fanfic.
STAR TREK: GENERATIONS didn't just kill off Captain James T. Kirk, it
carved him into a hollow, depressing figure who resented being the
savior of the Federation. In trying to reveal some new insight into the
nature of this iconic hero, the film's writers, Ronald D. Moore and
Brannon Braga, ended up contradicting the soul of Kirk.

It's a Different Jurassic World Than Where You Come From.
If Preorder66 ever happened to be given creative control of a summer blockbuster sequel (I have to be very specific here), it would resemble something very close to JURASSIC WORLD.

Tangent66: STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE.
I grew up a Star Wars kid- born 3 days after my mom saw the original film opening night. If I could have talked upon birth, I would have said to my mom "Thanks for the ride-- now, let's go see that movie again."
The first several years of my life on Earth were spent largely concerned with my getting into outer space. My methods of travel were simple and readily available- repeatedly watching the Star Wars movies was essential. I also had my toys, my pencil & paper and my imagination to guide me home. By 1983, the Star Wars series was effectively over. My love of it didn't diminish, but my desire for new space adventures remained. A year later, I saw STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK. In that film, I saw a ship explode in a desperate move by its crew to save a man with pointy ears and cool eyebrows. He wore a bathrobe and seemed confused. Fade to black.
The emotions of that story didn't affect me, but the flavor of what Star Trek offered had me very interested. My journey from a galaxy far, far away into the final frontier had begun.

Me, Grimlock: The Emotional Intelligence of a Robot Dinosaur.
The year is 2005 and everyone is dying.
As some of you may know, THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE was a oil-bath of destruction. Having lost Windcharger and some other noble warriors (whose names escape me at present), the remaining Autobots had to quickly gather themselves to defeat Galvatron and his planet-eating patron, Unicron.
Amidst all of this survivor's guilt, there was one robot who's indomitable spirit went largely overlooked because of his primitive speech patterns- the Right Reverend, (King) Grimlock.
