Captain Kirk's death

[Captain Atkin]

If they ever do a "special edition" of Generations, they should film a scene that shows the people on the planet that Kirk saves. They could do this in the Observation Room that Picard and Data are in, when they are looking at the planets. Just zoom in on the planet so we can see a city and people moving about. Just hearing a number mentioned, without seeing any life on the planet, kind of takes away from the drama.

The actual moment of regeneration was heartbreaking. That was more Tennant himself than anything, though.

It is largely his talent and charisma, yeah. The whole tenor of how Davies has treated the regeneration event with both Eccleston and Tennant, though, has been to give it more emotional depth (as he did, in fact, with the whole bloody property): in some sense that matters to him, this guy is dying.

Plot and plausibility, granted, do not seem to be among Davies dependable strengths.

I think they should show fireworks in the sky of Coruscant.

The people on the planet were irrelevant. Kirk didn't give two shits about them, why should we? He did what he did for nobody but himself.
