That poor teddy bear!!!

The teddy bear the girl on the Enterprise D dropped after Laforge picked here up before the warp core breach. I don't think he made it out in time. :(

Generations is such a sad movie. :( :(
 
On another note, how many poor woodland creatures do you think the saucer section ran over when in plowed through that valley?
 
And what of the poor dolphins? Did their living areas become polluted from spilled cans of whatchamacallit from the decks above?
 
That actually did bother me way back when, but then I wondered why those kids were even in that part of the ship, and realized the movie was awful and not worth getting upset about. ;)
 
If you watch the "dropping the teddy bear" scene closely you can see that the little girl doesn't "drop" the teddy bear at all. She throws it.

My guess is that she hated the fucking thing and figured that incineration in a Warp Core breach was the best way to get rid of it. :D
 
I'm so pathetic I knew exactly which teddy bear this thread was talking about before I clicked on it. Sheesh... and yeah, it's clear the kid threw the bear. It's that meticulous attention to detail that allowed David Carson to use this film to launch a successful career as one of America's most exacting and meticulous auteurs.

Anyway, if memory serves the darkened fishbowl in the ready room scene is meant to imply that yes, Livingston, Picard's pet fish, had kicked the bucket.
 
Of course, what you guys don't know is that it wasn't the end for the teddy bear...

The bear was picked up by young Ensign Paul Porter on his way out of the stardrive. Porter kept the bear in hopes he would find the young girl who dropped it, but never did.

Porter kept the bear as a memento of his time on the Enterprise-D, and took it with him when he was promoted to Lieutenant, and assigned to the Enterprise-E in 2373. Sadly, the bear suffered the same fate as its owner...

the bear, at that very moment was, as a cruel joke, given sentience by Q, but not the ability to move

It's the same principle as in Return of the Jedi where they linger on a dead Ewok longer than the exploding death star which had a zillion people on it.
