Re: End of Enterprise-D
Only to be completely undone by the fact that it was solely due to the ship's computer running incompatable software. If it had been maliciously hacked by the Iconian probe, and implanted with software designed to destroy the ship then there wouldn't have been a problem. Instead it turned out that it was due to crap security and poor warp-core design.

Man, is there anything that ship did right?

Well, AGT E-D was cool but that was only when Riker took over.

It had a dumb cause, so it gets marked down for that in my book.

Odessey going up in flames was pretty cool too.

Re: End of Enterprise-D
Agreed - the E-D should have gone down taking the Klingons with it.

Re: End of Enterprise-D
Maybe instead of crashing into the planet, the Saucer section should have sliced the Klingon ship in half.

Re: End of Enterprise-D
That would have been AWESOME!
Re: End of Enterprise-D
What would have been cooler would have been it slicing through the klingon ship, and then landing on the planet in umm...

Re: End of Enterprise-D
What would have been cooler would be the E-D swatting the damn thing out of the sky like it should have done, and then gotten wrecked by a ship that's a credible threat to it.

Re: End of Enterprise-D
The biggest flaw with Generations was that it was being written at the same time as the last few episodes of the series. They'd have been much better off giving it a year or two before starting the film series. Because of that we were treated to such marvels as the Federation's most powerful ship going down to an obsolete scout, and James T Kirk being killed in a punchup over a planet we've never heard of before and never will again. They both deserved better.

Re: End of Enterprise-D
The whole plot line of Generations annoyed me, it just wasnt a good story.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
