Stewart's portrayal of Picard grew immensely during First Contact and is one of the main reasons that First Contact is my most beloved Trek Movie. I can't help but compare Stewart's Picard from First Contact to Weaver's Ripley from Aliens. Both refused to give up on a loved one and both had to face down Alien Queens. Both were bad asses!

Luv the scene where Jordi watches the sunset with his own eyes. Just beautiful.

With LT Hawk there is something to remember about the actor playing him. He is a Catholic and had previously turned down roles that went against what he believed. I do not think he signs on to the role if his character was gay. The actor does not force his beliefs on anyone but he uses his beliefs on why he turns down roles. When he was on desperate housewives they had to rewrite a lot of scenes because the actor will only kiss his wife.

When it comes to Science Fiction I like to say, "make mine a Star Trek please."

I like that Spock's grandfather is the Vulcan in command for First Contact. Because retroactively it makes sense why that family would become so involved with humanity in the first place i.e., Sarak becoming a Vulcan Ambassador (and marrying a human!) and Spock joining Starfleet itself before also becoming an ambassador.

Makes the "Gorn wedding!" joke in Lower Decks that much funnier 😂

re: different uniforms. In the real-life US military, there are of course transitions to new uniform styles. In times of transition, there is a pragmatically-required period in which both new and old styles are worn, yes side-by-side in the same units. In this sense, Generations very much resembles the real military.

Insurrection struck me as just being a regular episode. It never felt like a theatrical release.

Usually when I see these "things you didn't know" videos about movies I love, I don't see anything that I didn't know. But in this one, there were several things I didn't know. Well done!

I remember hearing neelix's voice and checking the end credits to see if Ethan Phillips name popped up. But never saw it. I went years thinking I had been wrong 😂

When I was in university and Generations came out the majority of my floor mates and I went to the movie on opening night. One floor mate asked me for my ticket and I said “no I’m as old as Star Trek and I want to see Kirk bite it”. I also had the teaser movie poster for Generations on my wall.

I love that Shatner wrote his own Mary Sue fan fic continuation of the story

On the subject of uniforms, anyone that has served knows it takes years for uniforms to phase out. I went through 3 daily use (not counting the DCU or the RFI uniform for deployment only), 3 physical fitness and 2 dress uniforms before my 20 year retirement. This is not counting change to hats/boots/unit patches, from regular to airborne units. But these are quicker changes.

I love that in Lower Decks we got to see the statue of Cochram that was mentioned in First Contact (and the place was turned into a theme park).

[sinswhisper]

oh yall know that Rikers been to a few Gorn weddings -- probly stolen the bride at a few as well

[kevinshea]

I’m embarrassed that it took me multiple viewings of Generations to spot the Bat-Leth in Kirk’s cabin.

Finally the long list for Star Trek TNG movies as I expected from TrekCulture, thank you 🖖

The 1st time Geordie La Forge appeared without appendages over his eyes was in the series episode 'Hide and Q' where Riker said "Don't worry. There is no way I could harm any of you". Geordie said the price was a little to high and he wouldn't like who he would have to thank. He did beg though, for his eyes to be put back they way they were.

I got a whole round of those generations uniform action figures. Very interesting pieces, but their elbows and knees didn't bend.

[Saavik]

Generations is an underrated movie in my humble (and probably worthless) opinion.
