okay - considering i just bought/watched this movie last night, figured i'd comment --
upon re-watching Generations, i found it wasn't as dreadfully horrid as i remembered it -- guess i was paying more attn to the story than the last time --
however, it is disappointing that more of the TOS crew couldn't make it to the movie -- having Spock, at least, would have been awesome - tho, being 1/2 Vulcan, he's probably not very nostalgic - but more of the movie makes sense -- and i watched it for the "Star Trek" of it -- i don't even really know WHY i hated it the first time --
i mean, the story's kinda bland, and the idea that Kirk was still alive is kinda corny, but it did what it was meant to do - merge into the 'new era' --
however - i'm still wondering where Brent Spiner got the idea that Data's part was small -- it was no smaller than his parts generally were (proportionally) on TNG -- same w/ Troi -- (i had heard these 2 almost didn't do the movie b/c their parts were so small) -- Data was rather significant --- oh - and i think i recall why i thought this movie was bad -- Data's emotional 'trainwreck' sequence -- just a bit overacted, i think -- a bit TOO much 'emotion' --
tho, it was really funny when he pushed Crusher off the ship into the water -
so - any other thoughts????
