Well, now to make things interesting, they have to introduce an even more powerful alien enemy race to threaten the federation.

Well, the most powerful race the Federation has run across doesn't seem to have much interest in them, except for one individual. And I'm talking about the Q Continuum. We haven't seen Q in the movies yet, and it would be interesting to see him in the next movie. Maybe to annoy Janeway or Picard? Or maybe they're having another little spat and it's leaking over to Federation space. I still want to know if the Organians were Q, or maybe a branch of the Q who didn't like living whereever the Q live.

...or maybe the Vong invade the trekkie galaxy.

OK, not the best fan-fic around, but it has some interesting things.

Captain Christopher Pike gets fed up with the Talosians and decides to go Borg. He's practically one already. Right Capt. Pike? "beep"
Or better yet, he travels back in time with his wheel chair and gets a job as a police chief in a large California City. Changes his name to Chief Ironside.

I don't think there will be anymore Next Genration Movies. You can't shine a turd.

Yeah, those Last couple of Next Generation movies weren't that good. And Data is gone now.

They should have gotten rid of Q. I would have cheered. As it is, having heard that...I'm not going to watch that movie.

I like the STNG movies, all of them say for First Contact which I thought was utter Crap.

Nemesis, the Last one, was not a bad movie. I like a lot of what the director did however the dark colors really made enjoying the movie a bit depressing. The death of Data was a well known fact before the movie even began production. John Logan had written a good script with Brent Spiner, but when Rick Berman got a hold of it, well you saw the end result.

Additionally if they would have kept the movie at its original 2 hours and 45 minute length, a lot of things would have made sense. The fact that the duplicate Data was actually constructed by the Romulans based upon the stolen plans for Data would have been an important fact to leave in the movie, but again Rick Berman cut it out.

Oh well.

All we can do now is hope that the rumor that Data survived the bLast rumor is true. That although damaged heavily he survives and is restored by using Lores parts.

Hell they brought Spoke back from the dead.

my understanding of that was that Brent Spiner asked to be killed off... i heard that a long time ago though, and I'm not sure from where.

The plot of Insurrection is what ruined it for me. The enterprise crew felt the effects of the planet when they entered the system even before getting to the planet itself. If the planet effect was that strong then why wouldn't they just build space stations in orbit? That way they could have gained the benefit of the planet without violating the Prime Directive.

Not only that, but he used to have a quote from First Contact in his signature.

The rereleased DVD's are fantasic. Next up is generations.

I just finished IV and the extras.

For those who have not seen these double dvd's Start at 1 and work your way up.

With the new sub going the room shakes....

In IV when the big turd shows up at the beginning I had to turn down the sub.... The whole room was shaking.

It was very very cool.

Next up is V. Most likely in a few weeks.

I will rewatch them again when I get the projector room up and running and the duel subs
