Comic Book Tick is definitive for me.

Wow, he looks really crappy and way too small.

A number of character moments were cut from Nemesis. Stuff like a Wesley scene, Beverly talking about her promotion to Starfleet Medical, an extra Data and Picard scene, Worf inheriting Spot. Mostly crew moments that would have touched on the family they had become but didn't propel the momentum of the plot.

Okay, I'm relieved to hear that.

Ignatiy was in the middle of typing out this review when a drone army attacked the A.V. Club offices, forcing everyone to evacuate.

That was a toy meant to be played with, and played with hard. They were the best. I guess the Dinky Enterprise was even older than I realized. I saw it in old Challengers comic books or something, along with that awesome Six-Million-Dollar-Man dome playset, but that wasn't until the early to mid-80s. God knows where I

Fuller was involved with Star Trek: Voyager. This alone worries me.

On one hand, I wish there was a TOS reboot that existed as a television show so we could spend more time with those characters on an episodic basis made with today's storytelling standards. On the other hand, it's never going to be more than a shadow of the original, so perhaps it's best to just move on and create a

He will play James Bond, but James Bond will be disguised in a mailbox costume the entire film.

I WISH TO HELL Paramount would release a director's cut of Nemesis with most of the deleted scenes restored. The movie might not make popular choices regarding the fate of the crew, but I think that would make it a fuller picture that functions as a goodbye to Next Gen. It'll still be depressing, of course.

Pretty spot on. Although Generations has its moments, and I find I like Nemesis more as time goes by, Next Generation fades further into the past, and the cold hand of death reaches ever closer.

I used to see ads for it in hand-me-down comic books, a few years after that toy was no longer available. One one hand, I thought "Dinky Enterprise" was an hilarious name. On the other hand, I desperately wanted it. It wasn't easy to find a toy model of the original Enterprise for a long time. (I eventually got the

I tend to think it comes down to Abram's genuine love for Star Wars, whereas Star Trek is just a job, in a sense. Although one thing about Force Awakens really bothered me - the recycled ending. Did Abrams just repeat the easy Death Star destruction as an homage? Wouldn't it have been a better storytelling choice to

Klingon bastard killed my son!

Agreed totally. I enjoy IV a lot, but II and III are much more satisfying Star Trek films to me.

The whole Enterprise theft sequence is so perfectly scored and directed. It's both hilarious and exhilarating. That and the destruction sequence I keep re-watching.

Since I was kid, David's death has really haunted me. Pointless death, he was overpowered and there was just nothing he could do about it.

That's true, although it gives so little time to really connect with any of it. Although the Millennium Falcon was only in three (well, four now) movies and it was just as beloved as the original Enterprise, so who knows? It depends on how effectively it becomes a character.

That does sound like a fascinating read. So many specific things have to go right out of so many variables in order to create a good movie. It seems like just rolling the dice.

How about the Dinky Enterprise?
