The Enterprise crew is getting too old. I guess the fountain of youth in Insurrection wasn't working too good.

I have a problem with the Romulan council. They seemed somewhat out of character from what I have come to understand of Romulans. The Romulans I know are usually suspicious and devious, and they did not notice someone leaving a personal belonging on the table and not suspecting some kind of treason. And they were very slow to react to get out. Because they were slow, they deserved to die. But that seemed out of character, especially with the being bright red and quite big.

I think Picard found a new toy. I think I'd like to have the Argo also. :)

The writers are used to cramming an episode into 45 minutes, they are not used to expanding a story to include more material in a 2 hour movie, especially with an original plot of a Picard Clone which was very nice and could have been expanded very nicely. They could have done more with this Picard clone thing. They had the time. Anything else around was this clone story was not as important. They could have built it to be another Kirk/Kahn match. A little bit was missing.

When Data and Picard escape the scimitar they use a Scorpion Class ship. There is something odd in this. It's a non-human ship with non-humans and somehow the ship class is "Scorpion", which is an Earth animal. Did I miss something? Or are our aliens not proud enough of their homeland that they now use animal names from other cultures? Or are those ships actually human made?

When the Enterprise rams into the Scimitar, the whole front of the ship becomes crumpled. When this happens, the diagnostics panel should have adapted to the crumpled ship. Instead, the diagnostics panel still drew the ship as fully intact. In that century you would think that they would have more adaptive software.

When the aliens beam on board the Enterprise, there is an intruder alert alarm. When Picard beams over to the Scimitar, there isn't any intruder alarm, and that ship seemed more advanced than the Enterprise.

When the Viceroy beams aboard Enterprise and Riker confronts him, that bit kinda sucked. It really looked like a lame sideline to the story. A more original fight would have helped a lot.

Data dies. Wow. What a blow. I'm still assimilating this. If you like Star Trek, Data has to be the top all time favourite character. The Data character was exhausted with the series and good finale in First Contact and not much more character development possible with any subsequent movies, so it was a good move to kill off this character. Plus, things got a bit too easy with Data around, because he just rocks.

Now, how the movie would have been better. The bad guys should really have had a chance to at least blow up one ship, and one planet. Give me action. Give me some effects, a chance to get my Roddenberry vision shaken up a bit. This would have added to the credibility of the bad guy. We all know what Picard and his crew can do with their ship. They should have shown us what the bad guy can do and would have added to some tension and suspense. It wouldn't have been so corny like that.

And that ship was fucking awesome. :)
