Look at what Paramount and Bad Robot took from us. :*(
Star Trek: Unification (short)
- Thread starter ghostryder
- Start date
Also no reference to Enterprise in there, oh yeah it's Kurtzman Trek now, I forgot, they have no real love for Star Trek. Silly me!
I think there's more of a fundamental problem in comparing Star Wars and Star Trek. Star Wars is more of a limited concept, it is about war, which narrows the scope of storytelling.
Picard series 3 was little more than Easter eggs and rehashing of other better stories but that is a hallmark of the Kurtzman era so it is nothing new.
This latest OTOY video seems more like a proof of concept for training AI. It has good moments but it is just a series of clips edited together and for some reason they are trying to tie into the Kelvin timeline and having that random Disco character dropped in for no reason was quite jarring which doesn't sit well with me, but was likely a condition of getting approval from Paramount.
Picard giving Kirk his insignia would have made so much more sense given he was the one to bury Kirk and this is supposed to be a tie in and celebration of the Generations film. Like most things Trek these days, it all just feels a bit off.
A good analysis:
Did Shatner and Nimoy have an off-again, on-again friendship since TOS? I recall that Shatner was out of real work for a while after TOS, living out of his truck, but after some TV commericals and a few B-movies he got back into the game with more steady TV roles. And then his writing career took off.
There SEEMED to be a friendship between the two men in the 1980s through the 2000s.
I wonder what happened?
Yes, it was on and off over the years, I believe mostly due to Shatner's massive ego and tendency to misstate things.
This article explains how it was at the end:
Star Trek's William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy's feud "sad and unfortunate"
Both men were a core part of the "Star Trek" franchise but weren't on speaking terms in the years before Nimoy's death.

Kind of casts a different light on Unification, doesn't it?

Great behind the scenes info from Gordon Tarpley.
Shat and Nimoy were always on and off.
Nimoy finally cut contact in their 70s when Shat used Nimoy's pictures against his wishes in a book or something. It didn't sound like a big deal by itself, but I imagine it was a long time coming. Sometimes it's a little straw that breaks the camel's back.
I think Shat was known for being more of a douche than Nimoy. He was a bit of a leading-man prima-donna when the show was in its heyday.

This was 2001:
This was 2001:
It was not the 70’s it was much later, The 90’s are when we had the Bill and Lenny show schtick that made a few rounds
Late 2000’s when Leonard had finally enough
Personally having met both of them more than a few times Shat was always the arrogant prick while Leonard was always the gentleman
Yes, that's how I phrased it.
I'm not sure exactly how old they each were. "Their 70s" was a ballpark guess.
