I thought Insurrection was one of the best TNG movies, frankly. The premise was quite plausible when you consider the greed of our own “leaders”, and how far they might go to cover up their crimes. The fact that Data, out of everyone, recognizes what’s truly happening and will risk everything to save the community…

So funny you should mention JarJar because I actually loved his character, and especially his adorable speech patterns. I’ve never understood why he gets bashed so much. After all, C3PO was the constant source of comic relief in the original movies, and no one minded that. So what, exactly, was the problem with JarJar?

I was also a big “Lost In Space” fan. I wanted to BE Penny Robinson, lol. She was smart, funny, pretty (especially before the short haircut - I’d always wanted long hair, but my mother insisted on short cuts, and worse... perms!!), and the older sister I wished I had. In fact, I very seriously wanted to legally change…
