In that way it 'feels' like TNG in the way Generations and Nemesis don't.<br /><br />I'd say Insurrection feels like TNG too, but in a forgettable season 7 way, where you might flick on an episode one Saturday morning say "oh bollocks, Data marooned on an agrarian world without even Geordie for weak comic relief" and jump over to Formula TT on ITV 4.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685723882144479396.post-85262187786405155032016-11-22T20:18:33.080+00:002016-11-22T20:18:33.080+00:00Twenty years?

I've always liked this o...Twenty years? Yikes.<br /><br />I've always liked this one a lot, but seeing its many flaws laid bare, I'm not so sure any more. It's a bit naff, isn't it? And it really does ruin the Borg, or at least paves the way for <i>Voyager</i> to ruin the Borg.<br /><br />Even so, I love the argument between Picard and Worf -- even though Worf makes no sense, as you point out -- and Picard's subsequent apology. There's something about the way that Stewart delivers it that does make it seem like a man setting his affairs in order and does more than anything else in the film to sell the idea that maybe Picard isn't going to walk away this time.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
