The art of turning TV shows into movies... You know Star Trek the Motion Picture was originally a story for Phase 2.. You do know that. So maybe it would be a good idea to just do Big Budget versions of some of the great scripts they rejected over the years for Budget or length reasons... The thing about the movies is that they have never taken things farther than the series has in dealing with issues. Theyd never touch religion for example, or any issue in the depth as was in the shows. Why not. Theres more time to delve into these things- they have up to 3 hours.. It seems like Babylon 5 has a bad nature to it-- kind of an american glorification of ego and violence. StarTrek movies are infinitely preferable to this kind of junk.. I mean if theres a market for sci fi TV films wouldnt something like Babylon 5 replace it? You know the Red Dwarf movies are starting from Scratch? Whats the point?
