Generations as a regular episode

[suarezguy]

As TV episodes I really don't see Data getting emotions being done in same episode with a plot as different and also big as decades-spanning Nexus (although maybe Data learning to deal with fear would have been a follow-up to initial introduction included in Nexus plot). The ship maybe could have been blown up but there would be some way to prevent it from happening in next version so it wouldn't be permanently destroyed, the whole stopping Soran involving more of the main crew rather than just being Picard or Picard and Kirk in fight with Soran (feels like the plotting would feel more like "Time's Arrow" again). I do kind of like that the film doesn't feel like something you would see, expect for a season finale or even really premiere, more like pretty regular situation that gets a lot bigger and more consequential (like TV episodes you would more expect to see airing in November, January).

I doubt a gold shirt is going to be pirouetting through the air across the bridge if GEN is a regular episode. So yes, less exciting.

I had to watch it again to see what you were talking about, lol.
