David Carson's film in 1994 "Star Trek: Generations" contained very, very comfortable contraction. It seems like a small, free energy bar, nicknamed Nexus, which regularly passed the galaxy. Nex contained seemingly infinite micro-universum where time never passed. When the humanoid was drawn inside the Nexus, they found themselves in what was essentially the sky. Some unexplained psychic forces in Nexus provided their residents with their deepest desires. Captain Kirk (William Shatner) was drawn to Nexus at the beginning of the "generations", and Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) was drawn 87 years later. Since time had no meaning in Nexus, both men could meet at the same moment.

Picard explains to Kirk that he was drawn to Nexus as he tried to stop a crazy scientist named Dr -Soren (Malcolm McDowell) to destroy the Starvar and deleting a populated planet that was orbiting it. Picard then convinced Kirk to leave Nexus and return to the mountain where Soren was arming his rocket to kill Starwalks. Kirk and Picard together attack Dr. Soren, throwing strokes and races through rudimentary metal catwalks that Soren built on the mountain. The fight leads to a time when Kirk is on a crumb of catwalk, to throw it over collapse. Kirk manages to stop the rocket with a remote control before falling to his death. Picard moved to Kirk's broken body to capture his last words. "It was fun," Kirk said. Then he died. "Oh my," he murmured.

"Generations" wrote Trek's longtime writers Brago Braga and Ronald D. Moore, adhering to A long series of mandates in the studio that they hated him. At the Star Trek Convention in 2017 (Covered by trumps) Braga also noted that his script has undergone more changes during its development. Braga seemed to remember the draft of the script in which Picard's company would join a space battle with Kirk's company, and Kirk would die on his ship's bridge.

1994 was a very, very busy time to work on Star Trek. The latest episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", called "All Good Things ...", aired in May, and embarked directly into the production of "generations", which opened in theaters next November. In the middle, new episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" were created, And Braga was preparing for the January 1995 premiere at Star Trek: Voyager. Everything was going a full explosion.

As such, Branon Braga felt understandably processed. He oversaw the "next generation" as he came with "generations" treatments. At some point during development, he and Moore hit the idea of ​​Enterprise-D and Enterprise-A locked in a fierce space battle. They realized that their mark could be "Kirk against Picard: they must die". Unfortunately, neither Braga nor Moore could invent an uncontrolled story that would collect both companies.

Braga did not remember the details because everything was moving so fast, but he said the following:

"It's kind of blur. Just worked. We wrote" all good things ... "(s) it was a pure piece of writing. It was nice done. While 'Generations It was a little more painful and served a lot, and I think it shows. (...) I think that Ron and I predicted both companies Kinda locked in battle. Somehow they will meet, but (then) they will gather and fight the bad man, and Kirk will descend to his bridge, rather than a bridge falling on him. "

The battle for the company against the enterprise may sound cool on paper, but there would be a tight dignity to see two shows, set aside a century separated, and conveniently overlap. In the end, Braga and Moore have been striking the details and writing the scene where Kirk falls from a broken catwalk. Was less climatic, maybeBut that was what we got.
