 Re: ST Generations
Shatner himself admitted he wasn't interested in doing the movie unless they killed him. They originally pitched it as being just Kirk, Spock and McCoy in the opening bit, but Nimoy and Kelley passed (Nimoy also passed on directing the picture). The parts were BARELY rewritten for Scotty and Chekov.
As for the book, it actually wasn't so bad. Yes, the premise is a stretch, and the whole thing reeks of fanfiction and deifies Kirk like you wouldn't believe (as all of Shatner's novels do), but it was a fun read nonetheless.
