In the 'Nexus', Picard is told he can travel back to whatever time-frame he wants. If he chose to go back to the first time he meets Soran and put him in confinement, none of the disaster would happen. Ofcourse, we wouldn't have the Enterprise crash a second time, we wouldn't have Picard and Kirk frying eggs, and Kirk wouldn't die !
Always thought the final episode of TNG 'All Good Things' was a much better offering than 'Generations'.

I love it. loved it from the preview showing in 1994, love it now. It's a very special film to me, totally unique in the Trek film series. It has PLENTY of flaws, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. Among those things that elevate the film is Dennis McCarthy's superb scoring. Very dreamlike and ethereal with some great action licks, it brought dramatic and thematic scoring back to the Berman Trek era.
Love it. Did I mention that I love it?

In the past, I've received some fairly incredulous reactions to my comments about Stewart's acting, but I honestly do think he is terrible as Picard.
He is without doubt a very good stage actor - I've seen him live twice. But the trouble is he seems to perform Picard in much the same way as he would portray Richard II, Falstaff or Malvolio - in other words, playing to the gallerys.
Well, this is the thing exactly.
He comes across the best when he pulls back and plays it "small", and some subtlety and nuance is given some breathing space. The TV camera captures it, whereas the balcony won't. There are many nice bits like that scattered throughout the 7 years.
And I think it wouldn't be far off the mark to say that his performances of Picard became more relaxed and less "actor-ly" as he, himself, became more settled into the family of which he'd become a part.

On the whole, very positive...except for the shoehorning of Klingons into the story for inexplicable reasons.

For me, the movie rocks for the first 18 minutes and 8 seconds with Kirk, Scotty and Chekov and then after the big Kirk event and we transition to the TNG Crew on the sailing ship, it just goes to shit.
Sorry. Those are my real feelings. I have watched it over and over again wanting to like it more and like the TNG crew and their story more, but I just can't. For me the TNG crew were never meant for the big screen and could never fill it with the spectacle and joy that the TOS cast brought to the feature films.
Kirk and Picard fry eggs together and then go horseback riding. Give me a break.
I love however listening to the DVD commentary with Braga and Moore basically admitting what a mess it is. Okay, I'll be in the Nexus, shampooing my hair with Nexus.
Please share your thoughts.
The above. Yep.
I've never ever cared for TNG really. They just didn't have the personality or chemistry of the original crew. It may be more to do with the material they were given - um, an android named Data - really?? Of course the TV series was successful... but ask anyone on the street who Kirk and Spock are, most folks will know it's Star Trek even if they never watched the show. But ask folks who Picard and Geordie are, you'd probably draw a blank from more than half.
I enjoyed First Contact, but otherwise found the other TNG movies to be awful.
