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.
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.
