JohnRogers Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 So I'm rewatching Next Generation and the episode Family. Picard and family are French but how come they all sound British? It always bothered me that Picard didn't have some French accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Because Patrick Stewart said he sounded like Clouseau when he tried a French accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It's a few hundred years into the future. Who knows what accents will be like? North Americans in 1815 surely didn't sound like we do today. But the real answer is what Rhyta said. :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Next GenerationDS9The Original SeriesEnterprise (canceled just when the writers got it)Voyager (started out great then fell off the rails) I have no problem with that list but Kirk is the best Captain. I rewatched the last two seasons of Enterprise and yes it is very good. JMS claims papramount stole his idea from the B5 bible he gave them when he was looking for a network to carry the show. I wouldn't doubt it. Both shows evolved their own way though. Edited July 25, 2015 by JohnRogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I mentioned B5. ;) Think about the similarities... even down to the plot mechanism of a great unknown enemy, and some of the charachter names.

EagleMoon Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Babylon 5 got the short end of the stick. Poor tv scheduling especially. I remember when it first aired they put it on at 1 am. I was lucky to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to find it.I know. In NY it was moved around a lot..... but i was worth seeking out. Some of the best sci-fi since TOS. You guys know that JMS is working on a new version? Not sure if will be reboot or some kind of continuation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMS had given up on the idea for years.... but now it is in the works. If it goes all the way to production, I can't say. But here's some references. I for one am excited. http://www.denofgeek...straight-reboot http://screenrant.co...5-movie-reboot/ https://en.wikipedia...media_franchise Edited July 26, 2015 by grep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do a reboot it would have to be with the right actors. Not just anyone could fill their shoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
