Yes, exactly that.

Yes. It’s such a horrible idea that it’s almost inconceivable that it was green lit.

I quite enjoyed it so I don't see it as inconceivable, at all.

I won't let my fondness for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest be tarnished by another retcon, not this time Hollywood, Not. This. Time.

I see. Well, I saw that movie, only once, several years ago, but I see where the appeal for Nurse Ratched's villainy comes from. However, I don't remember the actress for this role, but for a major villain role in Star Trek DS9.

Did you SEE it or is it that you dislike the idea of it? Cuz honestly, it's pretty darn entertaining.

I haven't seen it, but I have read about it and seen various stills, it looks too glossy/flashy for my liking.

So... no. LOL

It's not except that the main character is named like the nurse in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Different decade, different state, different hospital, different personality.

Not sure why everything needs a prequel these days.
