Uhh.....yeah....about that.

Mine is hitting "save" instead of "preview".

We have the option to edit any post; sometimes it can be easy to mix up the "edit" and "quote" buttons, even though they're separated by other buttons.

I've done it twice, but realized there were no [quote tags on the text before I did anything.

I did it once and typed my message in and put it up before realising I'd just put words in someone elses mouth.

Fortunately I hit backup a few times and got to the original message again, so I copied it, edited the post again, pasted the original text back in and put it up. Big save, yay me! 8)

I do that all the time.

I assume that was before the big software change? With the current iteration, hitting the back button just takes you to a blank reply box.

Yes, but hit it again and you get to the original post.

Or did, anyway, I haven't tried it in a while.

I avoid the edit/quote thing by quoing inside the reply box instead of the main page.

Hm? I can hit back and the post restores itself to normal, regardless of any tampering I may have done.

I simply didn't like the idea of this as a movie. It wasn't bad, but did not have that epic feel. As a 2 part episode, this would have been pretty enjoyable. Really, though, for something that was meant to be a major motion picture, it just didn't grab me the way any of the other films did. Even Star Trek V, for all its fault, had a certain epicness to it, and I don't mean epic fail.

That's all Insurrection (and, to an extent, Generations) was - a typical TNG two-parter. Hell, even Redemption and BoBW had a more epic basic story than Insurrection.

BOBW would have been great as a film, I think. Like FC without the time travel. Imagine seeing the Battle of Wolf 359 from start to finish with movie-level effects.

It would have been great at the time - as far as I can remember there'd never been an onscreen battle of that scale seen on screen in Trek before.

Maybe a scene or two onboard the Melbourne prior to the battle, and during.

What could have been done to make Insurrection more epic, then?

Thaqt would make an awesome movie all by itself.

More brass in the music. Beter space battle. Much of what Rochey suggersted on page one.
