I've seen Nemesis. I know what happens. (And isn't everyone a Data fan?)
And yes I'm talking about the people who say it's the worst Trek film ever when it's not. I'd put it about in the middle of the pack.

So if I wanted to watch a Star Trek movie, which should I watch? I am also a huge Data fan and I am not a fan of Troi or Riker.
Some say it's worse the second time aroundOriginally Posted by Pike
(SPOILER)Watching Data die, not the movie itself. Though some might say that for the movie, too.
Nah, I jest. I've been wanting to use that line forever.
I'd love to hear their reasoning for this, but depending where you read it it's probably just knee-jerk reactions more than anything else.
Do you want to watch a TOS movie or a TNG movie?
If you want a fun TOS movie watch Star Trek IV (although II is, of course, a classic). For TNG, First Contact is the only real choice.
I could go either way. I'll look up both and see, thank you
So last night Huxley and I watched the series finale of TNG. It gave us some serious feels.
It was not okayWhy did TNG have to end?
Because they were clearly running out of ideas.
Well yeah obviously, Season 7 was mostly absurd. It doesn't mean I'm not going to lament the show's passing!
Yeah, season seven was kind of...But then they threw a couple of gems in there like that Ensign Ro episode and of course the finale. I mean, I guess it's like how Bill Watterson stopped Calvin & Hobbes early, and I think that TNG did the same.
I still wish there was more
Oh well, we've got the movies coming soon at least. Coming up first: Star Trek: Generations.

^ what did you guys think of this flick? My opinions incoming in a couple of days after I've watched it. (I've seen it before but it's been a million years so I need to refresh my memory.)
Well since no one else replied
I watched this the other day for the first time in a while. Although it certainly had its moments (mostly involving Data and the emotion chip), it definitely was not Trek's finest hour. As one site I saw put it: (SPOILER)Kirk died in a lame way to a lame villain.
Next up is First Contact, at least! banana.gif
I watched the Star Trek movies with Picard in them quite a bit when I was a kid. My parents enjoyed TNG. I have not watched them in a long time though. Should rectify that eventually
TNG S1-5 are available on Netflix these days... I would rather start with TOS though. Because I need to watch things in order, of course.
Every Star Trek episode ever, from every series, is on American Netflix! Do what Mister Adequate does and install Hola. (You did not hear that from me.)
If they could have turned the first ten minutes into a movie they would have had something beautiful.
The villain is forgettable, all the buildup to Picard and Kirk finally meeting isn't worth it (why the hell are they on a farm?) and Data was mostly just the comic relief except for one scene. Granted, he's always the comic relief so I shouldn't be surprised. But I would have liked to see some serious development with the chip. Him looking at Geordi and understanding what it means to have a friend for the first time. Coming across a picture of Tasha Yar and mourning her death. It would have built up to the scene where he breaks down in front of Picard a lot more. That said, I don't like the chip in the first place because he's supposed to be evolving beyond his original programming to become more human. You aren't evolving, you're just adding more programming to yourself. But if you're going to do it, do it right!
The ending was trout, too. Agreed.
Re-watched First Contact. Great stuff. Bozeman does not look anything like Bozeman, of course.
