TNG should've had a movie where it combined forces with ALL of the other 24th Century STAR TREKs, to combat some incredible foe. Tell me that wouldn't have set the entertainment world afire!
I would have preferred to see Kirk survive Generations, pull his usual MO and wrangle command away from Picard (or have the plot just kill the boring bastard on the planet instead of Kirk) and take the Enterprise E with a blended crew of 24th Century Trek characters. They of course, would encounter Ambassador Spock, and Scotty's Shuttlecraft. If Picard died to save Kirk, then Kirk could see it as his duty to look after Picards crew.
