| On this page, I will attempt to pick apart various aspects of the plot line of Star Trek: Nemesis. It may take me a while to compile enough information to make this page complete, but I will be updating it as time permits. First Topic: Data's Death After I saw the movie, the one thing that stood out in my mind was the explosion of the Schimitar (I'll check on the spelling of that one, so that word may change). As the credits scrolled up the screen, all I could think was, Data's dead. He's really gone. There are those of you who will say, "But what about Spock? He was dead, and he came back." The sad fact is that this time, things are different. For starters, Spock had a body, Data's was completely destroyed in the explosion. Second, at the time of Spock's death, a sequel was surely to occur. This time, the probability of a sequel featuring The Next Generation cast is slim. That is why I believe Data is gone for good. However, I will concede to the fact that B4's memory engrams contain all of Data's memory. The very last scene of Nemesis seemed to hint at something when B4 started singing, "Never saw the sun..." That, accompanied with the slow, solemn playing of the chorus on piano as the scene ended did leave some hope for teh return of Data. Only time will tell. Second Topic: The Argo At first, it appeared to be a normal Away Team Mission. The shuttle, albeit a different class, left the Enterprise's Hangar Bay, on course for Kolaris III. It touched down on a desert planet, and all was quiet. Then, suddenly, the back of the shuttle opened, and out zoomed this dune buggy-looking vehichle. It slid into a turn, and then sped off in the direction of the positronic signal. My first reaction was one of surprise. Then I recalled Picard saying, "I've been itching to try the Argo." This must be the Argo, I thought. Cool. There are some who may say that the Argo was a it over the edge. Why would the Enterprise need to be equipped with a land vehichle?? Why couldn't they simply beam to wherever they needed to go? Well, the fact of the matter is that the transporters aren't always reliable. Just as Geordi said, "Those ion storms could head this way without much warning." They would interfere with the Transporter's ability to function. Also, shuttlecraft can't fly through some atmospheric conditions, making the need for a land-based rover apparent, not to mention cool. So, overall, I think the Argo was a good thing.
