Comment on Did you like Star Trek: Nemesis?

Oh, I hate it. The labourious mind-numbing action, the “we aspire and they don’t” hand-wave resolution to the half-assed philosophical premise, the dozenth mind rape of Troi and Picard’s callous response, it’s all trash.

Don’t get me wrong, it had some OK scenes. You had to learn about them after the fact, though, because they were all cut from the film! Cutting Picard’s discussion with Data from the start, and the crew’s visit to his quarters at the end, is as good as cutting the Kobayashi Maru and funeral sequences from TWoK. They wouldn’t have saved the thing, but they would have given Data’s death at least a little emotional weight.

Left a bad taste in my mouth for twenty years. Thank goodness Picard came along to revisit these characters. It was a mess, but I’ll take any season of Picard as a superior send-off to the TNG era than this movie.

I actually just started watching Picard. I’m on episode 4 right now. So far, so good. I kind of stopped watching Star Trek after Discovery came out because I heard it sucked (Also because it was on streaming). I decided to finally give new Trek a chance and so far it’s not half bad. It’s better that I watch something and form my own opinion instead of listening to what some dumbasses online are saying.

  I wont say too much to spoil it, but my feelings on Picard’s first season is that it started out with a huge amount of promise, then moved at a strangely slow pace for long enough that there wasn’t any chance to properly resolve everything at the end. So a mess, but it had ambition and even those messier episodes had some lovely moments.
