[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I don't know why I'm doing this, but... [QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [qb] You've got tremendous potential squandered visually (not having them tap into a klingon cam so that Kirk can SEE his son die, justifying his collapse, is so fucking stupid) and dramatically (esp w/ regard to how easily the Enterprise is sacrificed and the whole non-logic of beaming down to a disintegrating planet instead of to a damaged small-crewed vessel.) [/qb][/QUOTE]No, David's death is better the way it is, because it comes as even more of a shock to Kirk. There's a noise, he wonders what is going on, then the person from the race who hides their emotions has to matter-of-factly inform him that his son is dead. His collapse afterwards is brilliant, one of Kirk's best moments in the movies. The Enterprise is sacrificed easily? I wouldn't say so. It was payment (along with David's death) for getting Spock back. It was due to be decommisioned anyway, but this way it got to go out helping our heroes to fulfil their mission of bring Spock back. And the other point has already been addressed. [QUOTE][qb]Apart from the continuing Picard/Data show aspect, FC is plain-out misstructured as well ... it would probably have worked better to have the E-E duck out on the continuing battle with the cube to chase the sphere back through time, so then an hour or so later we could have a more extended and exciting finale that involved the E-E returning to century 24 and helping destroy the cube at the END of the movie. [/qb][/QUOTE]Oh yes, that would be much better. Then we'd get the climax of the Phoenix going to warp, and Picard killing the Queen, followed by the resolution of the whole "First Contact" idea where the Vulcans appear, followed by ANOTHER climax involving a Big Star Wars-Type Battle, and then ANOTHER resolution showing...what? [/QB][/QUOTE]
