"not a cold unrealistic bunch of actors who should be onstage acting out hamlet!" Like half the TNG cast?

I never did get into that series it did my head in that Worf became Klingon ambassador after DS9 but in the TNG movies after DS9 he was just back to being the same old Worf as if DS9 never existed

yeah, that was my point, like the tng cast! im a fan of the original movies, the tng ones were ok, but 1, 2 & 3 were awesome, followed by the new one!

The first four films were the best and so was First Contact in my opinion

Completely agree, Ironblood. Kirk was a role that Shatner was made for. He didn't have to act that much and it worked. Stewart took a while to find Picards groove, but when he did it was awesome.

As for Kirks death, here's a few quotes from Generations;

GUINAN

I was pulled away. I didn't want to leave; none of us did. I felt like
I'd left a part of myself behind. All I could think about was getting
back. I didn't care what I had to do.

GUINAN

I am on the Enterprise. I am also here. (off his puzzled look) Think of
me as an "echo" of the person you know. A part she left behind.

PICARD

Left behind?

GUINAN

When the Enterprise-B beamed us off the Lakul, we were partially in the
Nexus. The transporters locked on to us, but somehow everyone left a
part of themselves behind.

PICARD

Soran?

GUINAN

All of us.

PICARD

Where is he now?

GUINAN

Wherever he wanted to be.

That's how they'd bring Shatner back, and because the whole paradox thing is shot to sh*t with Nimoy, it wouldn't be hard. Also I think the Nexus has no linear time, so easy Peasy for JJ.
