Roberto Orci Denies "The City on The Edge of Forever" Elements in Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:39, 17 January 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

IESB posted an exclusive video interview with Star Trek writer Roberto Orci, conducted on the Paramount Lot  during the world premiere of the J.J. Abrams-produced movie Cloverfield. Here are few excerpts from the video interview.
 
Orci took a few minutes and chatted with IESB on the black carpet. There has been plenty of rumors about Star Trek storyline details online, since a few months ago IESB reported on alleged storylines that involved elements from the TOS episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" such as the Guardian of Forever.

"I love "City on the Edge of Forever" said Orci when asked if the rumor is bullshit "You mean if it is part of [the movie]....no."

Orci said the he read about this rumor and even the knows the fact that the episode writer, Harlan Ellison said the rumor was not true.

Asked if there is time travel involved in the plot, Orci said "Who knows ? [laughs] Who knows if there is time travel involved. But if there is, it is original."

"If you know your Trek, and you know your canon, your knowledge will be rewarded." Orci said "The trick is to make it to fans and non-fans."

Watch the video. Orci was reluctant to even discuss this. Braga would be stonewalling right now instead of denying these hack ideas.

I have to say, aren't we passed shitting on Braga all the time? It's too convenient a toilet for the average rabid fan. Time and canon will judge Braga's good against his bad (and there is some good).

The King and His Prince are dead. The fans can finally rest in their blood-spattered pj's confident that the beaten horse is indeed thoroughly dead.

Time to move on.

"Orci denies THIS, Orci denies THAT." I'm telling you, he's the new Brannon Braga. We will all rue he and Kurtzman's names this time next year.

What does that even mean? Among Braga's faults I never listed "debunking false rumors."
