True to your username, I heard the clip haha
the director thinking Geordie was an alien
Ugh. How did Stuart Baird end up directing this when you have a huge bullpen of Trek actor/directors that could've done so much better? Frakes is right there and did fine on First Contact / Insurrection. LeVar Burton himself, or even Roxann Dawson or Robert Duncan McNeill would have been available by then (although most of their directing credits come later).
I could understand if they went outside for someone that had a track record of decent movies, but Baird had little experience directing before Nemesis and apparently none afterwards.
