I don’t remember there being anything said about phasing in and out of the space/time continuum, but I’ll take your word for it. I’ve got a new speculation then. Why didn’t Soran exit a spaceship with a life-support suit on and let the Nexus pass over him? (Actually, how did he know that he had a better chance entering the Nexus from a planet than a spaceship?)

Regarding Picard, Soran, echo Guinan, and Kirk, I’m trying to remember what my point was. You’re correct in saying that Picard and Soran got put into the Nexus when Soran was able to get it to pass over them. I don’t remember how Picard was able to meet up with the echo Guinan in the Nexus. Was it the echo Guinan who arranged that? Was it the echo Guinan who got Picard to meet up with Kirk? I guess I’m confused as to the point of going back to the planet with Kirk just before Soran launched the missile. Would they have been able to go back earlier to before Soran started destroying planets? Couldn’t Picard and Kirk have gotten more people to come out of the Nexus to help with stopping Soran? I suppose if you don’t question the Nexus (or the Red Matter in the latest Star Trek movie), then you’ll be satisfied with what happens in the movie.

Let me explain a few:
for one, they explained why you couldnt fly into the Nexus with a ship, it would buckle under the stress as we saw in the first 10 minutes. Although the lifesigns on the ships were phasing in and out of the current space/time continuum, when the ships exploded a fair few wouldn’t of survived. Kirk was lucky that he phased into the Nexus before the vacuum of space took him.

Guinan was not responsible at all for Picard getting into the Nexus, he was on the planet with Zoren when the Nexus took them… the Guinan Picard encountered was an echo of the woman that was ripped away, something like a spirit, so there was no way she could return with Picard, cos in reality she already was, on board the Enterprise-D.

I have no problem with critiquing films, whether its negative or positive in its review, but it should be accurate otherwise its just embarrassing.

Loved First Contact. Hated Insurrection (though the chick Picard doesn’t kiss is hot). I fascinated with the Borg and even more fascinated with developing a story that is closer to our own time (sort of why I didn’t hate T3, because I like how everthing is explained and it takes place a very few short years from now).

Yeah, I felt like a turd-head for dismissing the Next Gen films with a few off-hand comments.

Henrik, you’re going to be suicidal after reading my Rise and Fall of The Next Generation Treknobabble article.

This part 12 is a depressing read. I think you’re tough on the films, but it could just be me who’s too kind toward them. I’m sure you feel the same way with people making posts like this about The Final Frontier.

Insurrection has a good main theme and nice visual effects. Those two elements can make nearly anything watchable (see also: The Time Machine remake (apropos uber-asshole John Logan), Mortal Kombat, Star Wars I-VI).

I think TNG writers got really lazy with the Borg and Time Travel devices that were overly played out in The Original Series…
