Spiner is actually dead-on with his reviews of the films. Everyone agrees with First Contact. Generations works up to the point the Captains cook breakfast together. His review of Insurrection is hilarious (although I have a soft spot for the film, which in many ways resembled a regular TNG episode). And finally Nemesis really doesn’t work…..but no one can particularly pinpoint why. Direction? Story? Were the actors just not up to snuff that time? I am not sure, but there is something wrong with that movie, somewhere.

Probably the best casting choice I could make – he seems like a fine, sensible lad who’s true to his word.

5. Wellshaved Scrotum…… THIRST!…… I really need a beer.
Very funny. Are you Harry Ballz’ Clean-shaven nut of a cousin? (Rhetorical question).

I went to the link on
“Keri Russell won’t be in the movie, after all. Here’s why.”

And here is what she said:
She responded that, “there was maybe a thing but it turns out that I played it in so many other parts that we just decided not to do it. But I was just with JJ last week and if we could find something else we would. I want to be in everything he does, literally I would be the caterer in anything he does but I don’t think what was talked about is going to work.

I don’t know what version of English she’s using, but she’s probably speaking gibberish to keep from giving up any script info. She said she would be a caterer, but doesn’t want to do what JJ asked her to do. What the heck did he ask her to do?

#8…because The Suits have no conception of what makes good Star Trek.
#10– Didn’t they greenlight STXI, as well?

Insurrection was the first time I fell asleep during a star trek film. I was thinking that the colonists were going to double cross picard, so the movie would make sense..I didnt care about the villians…I didnt care about the colonists…Its only saving grace was the opening chase and the scene when picard and worf were trying to capture data using the shuttlecraft.
