I think the problem with Nemesis was that half of it was quite good and the premise interesting enough, but some poor dialogue/editing decisions really hurt the overall product. However, I'm still impressed at the battle sequence for once - at least they made an effort to match weapon hits with shield facings and related dialogue and things of that sort.

Do you think the Sci-Fi Network would buy Enterprise? It's nice to hope for something like that.
Or maybe a new series called "Klingon Space" A series like that would of course be full of lots of action. That's why we watch isn't it. Phaser fire, interesting tactical situations, monsters, cool ships, naked twister with green orion slave girls. To hell with dramatic situations.

I'm still hoping for a mini-series based on Niven's Known Space books.

The problem with nemesis is that they did not have Frakes directing it, and some of the best scenes end up on the floor. To add that it was a dark movie, not orginally shot that way, but done so in editing, hense the poor editing award, the movie was made into a bad movie from a good one.

Also the Before Data, was a Romulan prototype design that they could not get to work right. Data fixed it, transfered his memories, and then died to save picard. Kinda like the spock thing in Trek II.

I like the last 10 minutes of Nemesis, the rest of the movie was ok, but not what I would have liked to have seen.

To date I say Inssurrection is the best of the STNG movies followed by Generation then FC.

Why not go all out and make it a Klingon POV show... disruptors blazing and batleth dueling all over the place.
If it looks at you funny, shoot first and question the forensics team later.

That would be awesome. Remeber the episode of TNG where Riker spent some time on the Klingon ship. Why not do something like that? A star fleet officer on an extended exchange program tour of duty aboard a Klingon vessl. I'd watch that.

We need a series about Klingons.... Enough with these mambie pambie sissy boy federation types and their higher than thou moral values. I say to give us a good Klingon series.
