David Carson was not the most accomplished feature film director. He only directed one minor film before Generations, so maybe he wasn’t the best choice… but he did direct four episodes of TNG- including Yesterday’s Enterprise- and four episodes of DS9 before filming Generations, so I think he had a pretty good understanding of what makes a Star Trek movie.

Maybe Bill is just not the actor he thinks he is.

    You come in here with your link, trying to sabotăj my comment, when all I want to do is chew the scenery?

    No, jk, I get it. I’ve met the man and while he isn’t the worst, it’s clear he is awfully self absorbed.

      He has his good points- he apparently works a lot with animal (specifically horse) charities- but yeah, he really has a massive ego.

          Often true, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need to be rescued from bad situations. Rich people can abuse and neglect their pets, as can breeders.

          A Tibetan mastiff dog can cost thousands. If you found out there was an abusive Tibetan mastiff puppy mill and someone rich helped with a charity that rescued those dogs, I assume you would be in favor of that.
