How about Star Trek Generations. What did you think of it. I also heard that
the script was in the net somewhere. Anybody know where?

I have to say I was dissappointed.  Think of what they could have done, with
Captain Kirk and the Next Generation crew together.  I wanted to see Kirk
sit in the big chair on the Enterprise D and give orders.  I wanted to see
him give a speech about how great mankind is.  Think of what they could have
done with that moment, when Picard meets Kirk!  People have been writing
dialog between them for years - why not use some of it?  Why not play out
their differences?  And what I like least of all, I think, is the way Kirk
died.  Of course I knew it was coming, but, I mean, some *red shirts* died
more dramatically than that!  This was a HUGE transition here - at least
give the hero a last moment of glory, in his element - and I *don't* mean
a fist fight!  And besides all that, I don't see why they had to go and do
that to the ship.  It was traumatic in Star Trek III, and again in VI; why
put us through it again?  I know, I know, it's a transition.  All in all,
watching the movie was a sad experience for me.

I WAS disappointed in the way that they killed kirk off without flags and
whistles, But, They DID kill off one of the biggest American Icons to this day
and I think that no matter how they killed him off, It was still a big impact
on the viewers.  n that I enjoyed the movie.

I was very disappointed, the characters lacked something.  It wasn't
like the series, if they make another one I hope it's better.

what station?

It was all right, but two major pints dissappointed me. 1: I *so* much wanted
to see Kirk's reaction to Worf. 2: When a 20-year-old B'rel-class can
deal great devastation an a galaxy-class starship, I cry.
