Supposedly, there are five basic plots, so sooner or later, fans will see a story that looks rather familiar to them.<\/p>\n

According to UGO, some of the movies from this summer could be matched with Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> episodes like Tapestry, Lower Decks<\/em>, and Journey’s End<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shrek Forever<\/em>, according to UGO, can compare with Tapestry<\/em>. In Tapestry<\/em>, Picard sees how his life could have been different had he not got into a brawl with a Nausicaan which resulted in him receiving an artificial heart, while in Shrek Forever<\/em>, Shrek imagines what his life would have been like if he had stayed true to his ogre roots.<\/p>\n

Of course, the “what your life could have been like” story has been done before, in movies such as “It’s a Wonderful Life” and in television shows such as Dallas.<\/p>\n

The Other Guys, which tells the story of the NYPD accountants and benchwarmers “in the shadow of the Big Collar Cops” can be compared with Lower Decks<\/em>, in which non-senior staff who are usually seen in passing, if at all, are featured.<\/p>\n

Salt <\/em>can be compared to Face of the Enemy<\/em>, as “A raven-haired beauty who may be fighting on the side of freedom or may be working from within on behalf of a totalitarian empire.” This description might describe Angelina Jolie as a Russian double agent Salt, or Marina Sirtis as Troi, who ends up working from within on behalf of the totalitarian Romulans.<\/p>\n
