'''David''': And why he’s on [[TheMainCharactersDoEverything all of the cases]]. I guarantee you he was Bruce Wayne in the first draft. As a matter of fact, this entire movie feels like a bizarre, mutated version of ''Film/BatmanReturns''. Like it comes from [[BizarroUniverse an alternate future]] where it evolved into something… new.\\

->Was there much clamoring for a spinoff game about Lightning? I don't remember signing ''that'' particular petition. Although I concede that it's a good idea, because among the cast of the many ''Final Fantasy'' games there have been, she's a real stand-out character: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII she's broody]] with [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII a big sword]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX stupid hair]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII dresses weird]].

->Tom actually appears as the same character in a [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] episode, but was given a new name for ''Voyager'' to avoid paying royalties to a former writer, because fuck, all writers are loaded.

->[[Creator/MichaelIronside (Michael) Ironside]] plays General Katana, who [[HamAndCheese hams it up like crazy]] in this movie and interestingly, does not fight with a katana. He's pretty much the bad guy for the simple reason that he wears black leather and gets most of the pithy dialogue. I still remember with fondness the scene where he's terrorizing passengers in a subway train while speeding around the city and shouting taunts at them. Wait...[[Creator/ClancyBrown that sounds kind of familiar.]]

->The flashback appearance of Mr X is a firm reminder of how badly his replacement is working out; if Marita whatsherface was half as menacing, then the [[MythArc mythology episodes]] might be in much better shape.

->The tavern is very clearly intended as a spiritual successor to the poker game on ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'', a place where the crew can relax and banter with one another. Of course, ''Voyager'' has to be [[SequelEscalation a bit more ostentatious]]. ''The Next Generation'' got a poker table in the middle of a standing set, so ''Voyager'' has to build its own new standing set...As nice as it is to seem Tom and Harry hanging out together, two of the show’s [[TheLoad problem characters]] become obvious here.

->...the casting sheet for ''Enterprise'' was sent out to talent agents, and promptly leaked to internet fan sites. A lot of fans immediately dismissed the cast breakdown [[PoesLaw as a hoax and pure fanwank]], because the new crew matched the ethnic makeup of the TOS crew almost exactly, with just a few roles gender-swapped. I won't go through the full comparison, because you can easily do that yourself, but it's clear they were trying to imitate the Kirk-Spock-Bones triumvirate with ''([[PretenderDiss blecch]])'' Archer-T'Pol-Trip.
-->--'''''Website/TheAgonyBooth''''' on ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', "A Night in Sickbay"

->''The Motion Picture'' was essentially a big-screen adaptation of an aborted pilot for a ''Star Trek'' show that almost came to pass. "In Thy Image", the script which informed ''The Motion Picture'', was written to launch ''Phase II''. A lot of ''Phase II'' would seep through into the later ''Star Trek'' shows. For example, the character of Data in ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'' seems quite strongly modelled on the character of Xon...Particularly obvious when watching ''The Motion Picture'' is the fact that the two new cast members – Decker and Ilia – would both appear in ''The Next Generation''. The younger upstart first officer would become William T. Riker, and he would share a romantic history with the ambiguously foreign sensuous alien Deanna Troi. Like Ilea, Troi would be defined by her relationship to “feelings”, in contrast to Spock’s relationship with his own emotions.\\\
There’s also the fact that “the intruder” seems to foreshadow one of the most iconic additions made to the mythos following the original ''Star Trek''. With all the talk about the “machine planet” and “living machines”, V’Ger feels like a fore-runner to the Borg. Indeed, several lines of dialogue seem oddly prophetic. “Any show of resistance would be futile, Captain,” Spock muses. The machine’s central objectives – “collect all data possible” and “learn all that is learnable” – seem quite familiar... even Roddenberry himself acknowledged the possible link.
