    I thoroughly enjoyed it and don’t often get a lot of complaints but I’d be hard pressed to say best when First Contact exists

    The fact that we never heard of the Remans again (I don’t think they even get a Lower Decks shout-out, do they)? I think maybe we should leave Nemesis behind and pretend it never happened.

    I mean the Remans weren’t even brought up when Romulus was destroyed.

    Edit: They do get a shout-out on LD

    Distrust between Remans and Romulans was still prevalent in 2380, when a Romulan guard on Romulus commented to a colleague that he hated Remans, with his colleague commenting Remans were “the worst”. (LD: “Veritas”)

    Still, best let sleeping dogs lie.

      Remans are seen in Enterprise as well, as a slave/conscript caste. They are not explicitly mentioned, just seen in the background.

      Not even talking about them in Picard is just one more sin on a very long list.

    Outside of miscasting Clone Picard, I actually kind of liked Nemesis. I know I liked it more than Generations, albeit I’m newer to Trek and I’m unsure what sort of blasphemy I’m speaking there….

      Hard disagree. Generations is not the strongest TNG movie, but it definitely feels more like Trek than Nemesis. Nemesis is the worst of the TNG movies and full of plot holes. Every time I watch Nemesis I feel like the thin veneer of a plot goes out the window when Shinzon decides to drop the ruse and it becomes an excuse for a big space battle.

        The hot-take would be that Generations is the best TNG movie because we get to see Kirk die.

        …Kirk was the worst captain of the Enterprise.

    Not my favorite TNG movie, but my favorite space combat in Star Trek outside of Deep Space Nine.

    Kicking the Viceroy into a bottomless pit is Star Trek V-grade hilarity, but I head-canon it as him being kicked into space through the open bomb-bay doors on the bottom of the ship.

      Personally I enjoy the battle in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country more than the final showdown in Nemesis.
