Here's my problem with I, Borg (I just realized)

I actually watched Insurrection yesterday, and listened more closely to the dialogue to see if the story made any more sense. It did a little, but it didn't make the movie seem any better.
 
I reckon something could've been salvaged from that movie, but they would've had to completely change the bad guys. I haven't seen it for a while, so I forget exactly how they played the whole "long lost relatives" thing, but it threw up too many questions and plot holes.

Starting off with an idyllic world and showing how civilisation, outside influences and "progress" can fuck up a nice place like that is fertile ground for a story. And it's a good way to lead into a climatic standoff and battle at the end. But they just did it all wrong.
 
It's unfortunate, because it was a Michael Piller script, and nobody disliked him. There wasn't the usual Braga punching bag to throw around that time.
 
Yeah but wasn't it Patrick Stewart who forced Pillar to rewrite it to make it more "fun"?
 
That would explain the sucking part. Stewart got an Associate Producer credit in the opening titles.

OH GOD DID HE COME UP WITH THE FLOTATION DEVICE BIT?
 
Or the bit about firm breasts?
 
The funny thing is that we've had these discussions before, but it was so long ago that we can have them again and they seem fresh PLUS LOL THE INTERNET.
 
We need to have these discussions every so often, LEAST WE FORGET!
 
BRENT SPINER RUINED NEMESIS. Well, him and the script, direction...
 
Remember when everyone was so excited hearing that an outsider WHO REALLY WROTE FILMS FOR A LIVING was going to write the script?

LOL there's my kidney on the floor...
 
You should pick that up before it gets dirty.
 
And he was a "big fan". Talk about rubbing salt in the wounds.
 
I think the cast knew they were in trouble when he kept calling Picard and Data Han and 3PO on the 1st day of shooting.
 
The director (who never claimed to be a fan, it was the writer John Logan who supposedly was) really did think Geordi was an alien.
 
Didnt he also call the actor Levern?
 
B-4 must have been the studio's idea, in case the movie didn't suck and they wanted another sequel.
 
Yeah Spiner kept saying he was getting too old to play an ageless android, even though we knew from TNG that Data had an aging subroutine.
 
Thing is, if he didn't want to play Data again, fine. I can respect that. It's not like he was under contract to play him.

There was no real need to have Data be killed.
 
Eh. It doesn't much matter now.
