  Riker&apos;s comment that Cochrane isn&apos;t a saint, but that he does have a vision, and now they&apos;re sitting in it, that was basically a summary or Gene Roddenberry.

  They just needed to let Jonathan Frakes direct them all and give him a J.J. Abrams budget. Although he didn’t save us from that horrific Data “floatation device” joke in Insurrection, so even the power of Frakes could not overcome the forces of mediocrity.

  Quark&apos;s monologue in &quot;The Siege of AR-557&quot; is probably Armin Shimerman&apos;s finest performance.

  I was thinking a few months ago about the differences of how Khan and Picard reacted to being compared to Captain Ahab. Both characters knew the book well and knew how it ended. But Khan, upon identifying with Ahab, embraced it - surely arrogantly thinking &quot;his was superior&quot; and he&apos;d be able to get his revenge and succeed where Ahab failed and went full power, damn you, right into the flames of perdition. Picard, on the other hand, after a bit of attempted rationalization, was humbled by the book&apos;s words, realizing he was on a path he didn&apos;t want to be on and changed course.<br><br>I like this kind of revisiting of the reused concept...

  It is a FACT that Data pushing Crusher into the water was funny 😂

  Another problem with the Baku is that, if they&apos;re relocated, the resulting technology could...also be given to them to let them enjoy the benefits of long life and health. They&apos;re not losing anything other than their <b>exclusive</b> access to immortality!

  My biggest problem with Nemesis is its screenplay. Its so contrived and improbable that it sinks evereything in the film under the water. The nonsensical buggy scene is just cherry on bottom.

  Turning Picard into an action hero was certainly a choice. At least he and Data had stuff to do, unlike everyone else.

  I still think that Kirk dying on a literal BRIDGE was somekind of internal joke from the writes.

  I think I speak for all of us when I say: To hell with Stuart Baird.
