Re: OT-Star Trek Nemesis
Overall, I enjoyed Nemesis. Much better than Insurrection. But it was supposed to be the script of a trekkie, someone who supposedly had watched ST:TNG enough to want to write a script? I think he missed a few episodes.
First of all, although it was nice to to see Wesley Crusher at the wedding reception/ceremony, why was he in a Star Fleet uniform? The Last I saw, he had either resigned from Star fleet or had gone awol to become a Traveller. Unless Picard had some pull to make Wesley in some sort of inactive reserve status, or something like that.
I don't think any Federation scanner is powerful enough to pick up positronic signals from a disassembled droid from several light years away. If it had been a factory or a whole colony of Data-like droids, I could understand. But not one single android. What I want to know is where did Shizon find B-4? If there was any known labs of Data's creator(sorry, can't remember his name), then you would think Data would have at least known about them, let alone be in the data banks. It just didn't make any sense to me.
The lack of mention of the Tal'Shar (sorry, don't know how to spell it) is another thing that was a sore point for me. Even if the Romulans go through such coups every so often, you would think that that particular intelligence section would be above all of that policital stuff. They're almost like the old Russian political officers, in that they enforce their interpretation of "The Romulan Way". Maybe the DVD with the deleted scenes/outtakes will explain some of these issues. Too bad Nimoy wouldn't participate in the film, but he's done with acting and is into photograpy.
The darkness of the film didn't really bother me. I just found it hard to understand the science of the new weapon that got the Enterprise in an uproar. They kind of glossed over that.
I was totally surprised by Data's death. I never even heard a rumor. I knew Spiner was getting tired of the role, but I didn't even guess at this ending. At least the whole world knew when Spock was to be killed off at the end of Kahn. Of all of the characters to be killed off, I just wish it hadn't been Data.
One Last thing. How can Worf go from being the Federation ambassodor to Klingon, back to a weapons/security officer? I mean, after being an ambassodor, you would have thought they would have given Worf command of his own ship? Going back to his old post without a word of explanation I thought was irresponsible. It just didn't make sense. I guess there's only so many ways of accidently being in the neighborhood when the movie starts.
