Nah! Data's not dead. They downloaded him to B-4 before they killed him! (I sincerely apologize for that pun!
)
ST's writers need to be purged and some new faces brought in. They really have run out of ideas. All they seem to do in mix and match previous episodes and movies. I knew what was going to happen when they were copying Data's memories. Then at the end when it happened the only thing running through my mind was 'this is the same thing they did to Spock!' At least They won't be wasting a sequel for the 'Search for Data'!
What I want to know is how does a cancelled cloning experiment turned slave in a Romulan mine, manage to organize, build, and equip a badarse starship with a weapon that uses a purely theoretical energy source to take on the Federation without anyone in the Romulan empire catching wind of it. Why is his first target the Federation rather than his former Romulan slavemasters? I need some aspirin. That one gives me a headache.
5 minutes with a pencil and notepad and I could come up with a better premise than that! The movie was good. Don't get me wrong. The cast did the best they could with the story they were given. But that story really needed some more thought put to it. It could have been so much better.
