But also with people comenting on how uber-cool it was, James Kirk in the captain's chair, giving the order to destroy the BoP, and then riding the Enterprise Dee's saucer down into the atmosphere trailing flames ... yes please.

Plus finding time somewhere to screw Troi.

I like the way you think.

Allyn...I really like that rewrite. I think I remember when you posted this before.

I wouldn't have liked seeing "Yesterday's Enterprise" redone in movie form like this... It was a great episode on it's own.

Actually, although I enjoyed "Generations", I wasn't very happy with Kirk's demise. The most pathetic thing about the whole use of the "Nexus", was that they could have returned to any point in time. How short sighted to return to a difficult spot with the aid of just one more person against Soran? Yes, it would have been an anti-climax to just nab Soran earlier, before he was an imminent danger... But I'd rather see them return to the space observatory (maybe Picard tries earlier, but somehow the Nexus doesn't full abide) and put up a fight with Soran there... something goes wrong and the observatory systems overload... Kirk's beamout fails... Much better than falling down a cliffside and breaking his back.

McCoy comes aboard the E-D & winds up takin' command.

LOL McCoy was falling to bits during Encounter at Farpoint. The idea of him doing anything other than rocking back forth in a chair 10 years later is insane.

There's no way Kirk would have ever ended up in the command chair of the D without people complaining how contrived it all was.

A Trek movie with a contrived plot to get Kirk into the captain's chair? It's not unprecedented

Scene: Enterprise D Bridge.

Picard: It's a honor have you board Captain Kirk. Now excuse me, I'll be in the ready room...

Picard stubs his toe on the helm-station and immediately drops dead.

Starfleet: Kirk you're in charge of the Enterprise D, please try no to piss off the Klingons.

Kirk: Uh..too late.

Have the console explode spewing randoms shards of rock everywhere.

They already tried that with "The Motion Picture" and I don't think it worked out that well.

TMP made the most money of all the eleven movies, must have done something right.

um first off, no it didn't, and second,

it was the FIRST Star Trek movie, and the first new live action star trek material in ten years.


demand matters in movies. The wait and first movie status has much more to do with the solid box office performance than its quality.



By your logic, Star Wars Episode I must've done a lot of things right to make all of the money it did.

Correct. It's goal was to make loads of money and it did.
