So first we hit TOS and now it’s time for The Next Generation flicks. forget the intro and let’s dive into the flicks.

Generations: Pissed me the fuck off. They killed my hero not once but twice in the same movie. I grew up watching Jim Kirk blaze through the galaxy kicking ass and taking names. They gave Kirk a decent send off and made him the man of action he had always been. I loved the speech he gave Picard about never getting out of the captains chair because it was only there that you could be out in the galaxy making a difference. It was correct for them to pass the torch I just did not like it because it meant the death of my hero.

First Contact: Great flick. This is what we watch Scifi for. Kick ass take names and blow away the bad the guys. While I will always think as Picard as a second rate captain I can’t deny the abilities of Patrick Stewart. The man is a talented actor and he made this flick.

Insurrection: There are some people that did not paticularly care for this flick but I am not one of them. I quite enjoyed it. Data asking Worf if his breasts felt firm again.  I was crying I was laughing so hard. The Star Trek films have always been great at adding these quirky little funny scenes that make the movie better.

Nemesis: Love the premise and I loved the execution. They did a great job at finding a young Picard and then he did a great job of aping Patrick Stewart. There end was a little corny but over all I think they did one hell of a job to give this crew of the Enterprise a fitting send off into movie history.

So there is the rest of my take on Star Trek and tomorrow we will look at Star Wars since I kind of have to.  You can’t go over one with out going over the other. The one thing I won’t do is compare the 2 franchises.  They are 2 separate mythologies that stand on their own and in my book it is perfectly OK to be a fan of both. What are some of your favorite moments from Star Trek?
