Topic: Somebody Ask Stewart Why They Made Crap TNG Movie
Yeah, the only reason TNG, as the most successful Trek show ever, is no longer culturally significant is because the TNG movies were so god-awful.

I want to know why the TNG actors, when they had a lot of power, did not demand Paramount produce good Trek movies. Stewart, Spiner, and Frakes could have refused to make the movies unless the script and production standards were high.

Why did Stewart allow Generations to get made, when Leonard Nimoy even pointed out the script was awful? Most recognize that Generations was rushed and not solid.

First Contact was the best TNG film, but it fell short of greatness. It never made sense why the Borg would send ONE cube to battle Earth, and time travel AFTER the battle was lost, allowing the Federation ships to notice. Why did the Federation have so few defenses for Earth?

Insurrection and Nemesis were just piles of turd. Nothing further to add.

The Next Generation was the best Trek series, yet the TNG films departed from the cerebral, socially relevant issues and became dumbed-down Picard and Data action hero flicks. There was little to no SCIENCE FICTION elements, little drama, and little to no socially relevant issues raised. Even the characters of TNG felt like they were different from the show.
