Episode description
The (Movie) TNG Goodbye: Star Trek: Nemesis
As we look forward to "Star Trek: Picard" season three, with the final (?) journey of the TNG crew, the trio looks back to the original goodbye for that crew. There's conflicting stories about whether the fourth Next Gen film was meant to be a cinematic farewell - but considering Data's sacrifice, Riker's promotion and marraige to Troi, and deleted scenes that had other characters move on from the U.S.S. Enterprise-E, it seems it was "A Generation's Final Journey" (as the movie posters stated).
How does this film work as a final goodbye? Were the themes introduced with the characters Shinzon and B-4 helpful? How were all the characters used? Does the movie still hold up? Join us as a we revisit this final (?) TNG film.
