Patrick Stewart demanded one serious change in Star Trek: First contact

In the movie “Star Way” by Jonathan Frax “Star: The First Contact” Borg – the invasion of the force of the angry cyborgs – created a plan of attack on the ground, and Hoddy’s boy, it was difficult. At first, they tried the frontal attack on one of their cubic ships, but Starfleet was reflected. However it was only the plan of A.

Plan B: While their ship exploded, Borga’s miniature messenger left the scene and opened the time portal until 2063 (!). It was a year, Trekies could tell you when the earth was still restored after the malicious World War, but also a year when a man named Zephr Kohran (James Cromwell) builds the first planet. According to the Star Way history, Cocral attracts the attention of some passed volcanoes, having experienced their ship for the first time, causing them to land and welcomed people. The first contact with the alien look will lead to the land into a peaceful, utopian future. Borg was aimed at destroying the Cocron’s ship in the past and thus prevent the formation of the star fleet.

The company followed the Borgu through its portal of time and instantly encountered two crises at once. Half of the crew led by Commander Ricker (Frex) had to help Cocron in time to fix his ship on the first day of contacts, and the second half, led by Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart), had to fight the strength of Borga’s invasion of the enterprise.

The screenwriters for “Star Hike: First Contact” by Branan Braga and Ronald D. Moore always knew that “Borga’s first contact”, but they initially provided a plot involving Picard, which interacted with Zefram Cochran. Braga told this during the Star Way Congress in 2017 (Via Trekmovie). He also said he had postponed the role of Picard and the ricker after Patrick Stewart suggested it; Stewart felt that Picard should face Borg.

The Stewart’s proposal probably has a perfect meaning for hiking that the hero was learning Borga for many years before, and the action that left him injured. Braga remembers writing “first contact” and explosion. Unlike the previous movie he wrote, “Star: Generation”, “” There were not so many studio notes that need to follow. He and the rest of the Star Hike handlers were very free to tell what they wanted. And he knew it would be Borga’s story. As Brag said in 2017:

“(” First contact “) is a great dedication for what the” star path. “It was fun to make fun to the end, fun, fun.

He also spoke about how he and the wall first liked the idea of ​​Captain Picard to talk to Zefram Cochran, while the ricker handed the hero’s things in orbit. Stewart, however, believed that the scenario should be changed. As Braga recalls: “We were summoned to Patrick’s apartment in New Yar, where he said,” I have to fight Borg “… so we changed it.” Indeed, the “first contact” changed Picard from the diplomatic leader to the revenge of Captain Ahab, which allowed him to do some hero things (which he did not usually do in “Star Trek: The Next Generation”).

Frex got all the scenes of Zefram Cochran, but he also directed the film, so his heroes were easy and funny. It was not left out of the movie for lack of action. Stewart got into the shooting and ran away, but the ricker was present during the first flight of mankind in a “star campaign”. They both were interesting and To a large extent, everyone loved the movie (including a member of the “original series” of Defest Kelley).
