    Close — it does originate from that movie, but it was actually Marlon Brando who proposed the idea! One of his many conditions (including an obscene amount of money) for being in the movie was that he would also get to wear the emblem as Jor-El. So he suggested it should be a family crest. #ngl

    Close; the original feature film version of DAS BOOT was the inspiration for the pitch that John Ordover and I sold to DS9 for the 4th season episode “Starship Down.” “Wildfire” was in many ways me writing the version of that story I wish we could have told on TV, but time and $ made that untenable.
