The more I think about it, the more I realise that Paramount, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, without resorting to namecalling, were just not right for the job. They ran the franchise to the ground by refusing to take risks where risks mattered and just misinterpreting Trek altogether.

And Bean, thanks a lot. Those are the kinds of moments that I loved on Trek, and when I was writing the first scene for this episode, this final scene popped into my head and I had to write it down before I forgot it.

It now looks like the story will be a two parter, and I've practically re-written everything except this scene. I'm a perfectionist, so I'm constantly criticising myself, which is a gift and a curse, because most of the time it means I just get pissed off and quit altogether. Hopefully when I'm finished it'll be excellent.
