Nemesis is a few years old now and everyone has pretty much said what has needed to be said, but after reading what Brent Spiner recently said about it, made me start thinking about it again. Here is how I think Nemesis should have done.
1. Should have shown Riker and Troi's Wedding and not just the reception.
2. Miles O"Brien should have been at the wedding.
3. Reg Barkley SHOULD have been at the wedding. In Voyager he spent some time with Troi and Riker, it only makes sense he would be at their wedding.
4. The Enterprise should have been shown in Space dock receiving supplies such as the Argo.
5. Show a scene of Picard in the shuttle bay with LaForge, seeing the Argo and then explaining he would like to drive it.
6. Explanation for Worf, why is he not a Klingon/Federation Ambassador? Or at least, why return to Enterprise and not DS9?
7. Mention of Lore when B4 is found. He has been known to trick them, yet they so easily trust B4?
8. When the Enterprise is in orbit of Romulus, it's too quiet. The capital world of a major empire should be bursting with life. Cargo ships, space docks, ANYTHING!
9. Sela and Tomalak. You don't assassinate the Romulan Senate and NOT expect those two to get upset.
10. Spock. Once again, the murder of the entire Senate is a big deal, especially when he is trying to reunite Romulus and Vulcan.
11. Bigger space battle. The Enterprise was to meet up with and take command of a task force. When the Enterprise doesnt show up at the time they were supposed too, the fleet should have investigated. They would have then participated in the battle against the Scimitar.
12. Worf shouldn't be so suprised the Romulans fought with honor. He only spent most of DS9 fighting side by side them against the Dominion.
13. Bigger more emotional funeral for Data. He deserved better honor for his sacrifice. He's Data for crying out loud!
14. Picard could have given a "Continuing Missions" speech like Kirk at the end of Star Trek VI. Reasure us this is only the end of this Chapter and another will continue the Voyages.
I think Nemesis would have been so much better that way. Who cares if it was three hours? Some of the best movies made are three hours, and they pull it off because they're good and worth watching for that long. With a little more thought into Nemesis' plot and less about it's length, it would have rocked! Hopefully this new movie will help a little, and not destroy it.
