That the original motion picture was based (visually) on 2001 in it's attempts to insipre us with unseen effects.
Of course 2001 was directed by Stanley Kubrick whose next film was A Clockwork Orange which stared Malcolm McDowell who starred in Time After Time (written and directed by Nicholas Meyer (the writer/director of 2, 4, and 6, which starred David Warner, ALSO a star of Time After Time)
Not to mention McDowell's role in Generations... isn't that weird?
(PS, 6 starred Christian Slater who was in Murder in the First with... well, we all know who.)

Don't you think it's stretching it a bit to say that ST6 "starred" Christian Slater? Of course, if you go by that definition, I could tell people that I "starred" in the U2 film Rattle and Hum. ;D
By the way, what was the deal with Slater taking a bit part in 6? Was he expecting to get asked back for another movie, is he a huge Trek fan, or was he just that hungry?

^^I believe that Slater's mother was a big wheel in the promotion department at Paramount and she managed to get him to do a bit part without an audition for scale just because he's a Trek fan!
Talk about having the right connections!

A.) His mom was in charge of casting. B.) If Christian Slator said he'd like a bit part in your film, would you do it? C.) He's a HUGE trek fan. Ever notice how his eybrows are a little strange? You know why? I'll give you a three word hint. Halloween. Vulcan. Razor.  |

I knew that she was in charge of one of their departments. Thanks for setting me straight, UT.
