Oh yeah, the Valdore Class is by far the best looking Romulan starship design :P

Likewise for Donatra, in the "Warbird Commander" category. What was Shinzon doing, threatening to kill her after she tries to seduce him? Idiot!

Dunno, 'Nemesis' had potential - but went all 'weird' for want of a better word :-( A weak storyline, which contradicted itself, its a shame that the TNG crew went out on such a disappointment :-(

Got to agree. The moment that Data produced the "emergency transport" gadget, I knew instantly what was going to happen at the finale...

And why would Shinzon want to blow up Earth? It would have made more sense for him to fry Romulus, home world of his hated oppressors -- only to have Picard & crew oppose him. Shinzon being unable to get his shiny head around the idea of Picard trying to protect a people 'technically' his enemy...

The transporter shorting out after Picard beams to the Scimitar (what about the shuttles? Like the *@$% Argo?). B-4 (enough said). The Romulan Senate being wasted so easily (we're only talking about some of the most paranoid and politically-devious officials of a paranoid and politically-devious race).

I could go on, but why bother? I'd just like my theatre ticket fee back. And maybe a memory-wipe.

Yeah, watched "First Contact" again on Saturday eve with a bunch of non-Trek friends - they ALL loved it!

Then Paramount came up with the re-boot "Star Trek", I found it hilarious, a Budweiser brewery for an engineering deck, and more flares than the Sun has produced in its entire life!

Not to mention the shuttlecraft interiors that looked like a disused meat-packing plant...

I think THAT is where they were filmed, Paramount really made a joke of that one - despite the fact it was the most successful Trek film to date :-(

Super-magical technology aside, I still can't accept the 'drydock' scene in Iowa where the Enterprise is being built ON THE GROUND...

How does this version of Starfleet get the finished product into the air? Giant springs in a silo underneath the dockyard?
