Rewatched Star Trek First Contact, of which I have fond memories, recently.

It's aged VERY badly.

In what way? I mainly remember just a well executed action adventure that I can't think of anything problematic in.

@alastair87 @sarahdal The special effects look cheap AF and a lot of the action feels small and a bit wooden.

@sarahdal @alastair87 Although it did introduce the Borg Queen, who is one of the franchise’s more interesting characters.

Ah, that makes sense. I thought you meant in terms of political correctness which is what I couldn't understand.

Have you seen the new TNG ending that is Picard season 3? It rights the wrongs of Star Trek Nemesis pretty well. It was good that it didn't end there.

I kind of hope they leave it there. If there is a spin-off of some kind that might be good, but I don't feel they could have ended those characters' stories a lot better.

@alastair87 @sarahdal they definitely set it up for one. Hopefully paramount will pick it up.

I saw Jack Crusher (Ed Speelers) as well as Christina Chong (La'an) and Martin Quinn (potential SNW spoiler) at Comic-Con at the weekend. They were very limited in what they could say about Star Trek unfortunately because of the strikes. Still interesting to hear a a bit about it though. Apparently the SNW cast had months of only really being around each other when they filmed in lockdown.

My only concern is if they do it I want it to be something other than Strange New Worlds in different clothes. The ending didn't make it that obvious how they would do that. I feel like it needs some hook of its own but maybe that's just me.

Felt sorry for Troi who has NOTHING to do in the entire film! But it’s not as bad as Insurrection or Nemesis which aren’t great, full stop. 🫤

Rewatched all of Futurama and there’s parts of it that has aged very very poorly. Specifically how women are viewed, some pretty cheap sexist jokes in there. Imho at least.
