We were meant to be going to see Nemesis this coming Saturday; then we rang the cinema on Monday to book tickets, and the person on the other end was very surprised to find that it wasn't showing on Saturday, and in fact wasn't showing after Thursday. Further research uncovered that in fact it wasn't showing after Tuesday. So, yesterday evening we went to see Nemesis. It was in Screen 10, which is the furthest screen away from the doors and is evidently the Turkey Screen; it has about a quarter the number of seats of any of the other screens. Not that Nemesis was a turkey; it was very much like a long episode.
They killed Data! I was very upset indeed. Yes, they'd got another one, but he's not Data! Miserable so-and-so's. Especially as Data appeared in the future part of All Good Things.
My mother told me off for laughing on two occasions, because apparently I was being too much of a sad Trekkie for her. Butbutbut, they gave the Enterprise *teeth*! (Did nobody else think that those windows on top of the Enterprise looked like teeth?) And then they had The Most Stupid Vehicle In The History Of Star Trek, and Picard Behaving Like A Teenager...
There was also rather a predominace of the 'It's okay to kill them because they're ugly' rule. Especially with the poor aliens on the planet that just happened to have had an android dumped on it; killing a bunch of them with sophisticated weaponary and demonstrating the abilities of your latest nifty shuttle (did I mention the Really Stupid Diving Across Empty Spaces Obsession?) sounds like 'interfering' to me. But it's okay, 'cos they were ugly. Ditto for the Remans, and for Mr-Bad-Guy's disfiguring disease. They couldn't kill him while he was still as pretty as them, but when he turned ugly they could.
I also love the fact that the alien flagship splintered like matchwood and the Enterprise basically just scratched its paint when it rammed it... obviously alien designs are just so much flimsier than good honest Federation engineering. There was also the 'why don't you take two of the little blippy things?' element to the ending (in addition to 'let's wait until two seconds to go despite the fact we could have done it sooner' and 'why on earth is the focus thing on the bridge'...).
Oh, and the Enterprise also wins both the Most Stupid Place To Put A Window and Most Stupid Place To Put A Bridge prizes, as well as the Most Expensive Away Team and Most Expensive Security Squad ones, and who can forget the Senior Staff Have More Physical Strength Than Super-Tough Aliens Who Grew Up In The Mines award...
And we also loved the way the Romulans offered help and then got blown up in about thirty seconds because they're obviously so inferior to the Enterprise. (The 'box' they put the Enterprise in for repairs was quite nifty, though.)
