I know a lot of people despise "Nemesis", but I think it has some redeeming elements. The basic idea of having Picard face a younger clone of himself was good, and Tom Hardy did his best with the role...but he seemed to go a little too crazy with it. The "mind rape" scene with Troi was something that truly shocked me at the time; I'd never seen the franchise do that kind of thing before. But later, when Deanna is using her mental powers to track the location of the Scimitar, Marina Sirtis totally sold that moment. When she said, "Remember me?", I got chills, thinking to myself, "Now you've done it - never mess with a pissed-off Betazoid."
The other element of the film that I liked, was that at the time, it completed Data's story arc. The way he looks at Geordi, with no words, just before making his space-jump...Brent Spiner and Levar Burton both had such compelling looks on their faces. And when Data finally says, "...good-bye...", I almost wanted to cry. That's why I felt somewhat conflicted about them bringing him back for "Picard", because he died a hero, and that's about as close to human as you can get.
