Anika and Liz are joined by guest Jonathan to discuss a movie Jonathan calls "the greatest Star Trek movie ever made": Star Trek: Generations. Our feels run the spectrum: Jonathan loves it, Liz loves everything except the plot and script, and Anika is … not a fan.
- Everything that happens on the Enterprise B is the fault of Starfleet PR
- This is a movie that mistrusts nostalgia, but also believes really strongly in heterosexual domesticity, which makes for an interesting internal conflict
- Generations gives us the very first glimpse of the fourth estate in the world of Star Trek
- Anika argues that Picard's arc in this film is necessary for season 3 of Star Trek: Picard to work
- Liz and Anika have a LOT of feelings about Rene Picard
- Jonathan suggests that modern nostalgia-driven franchise media is the Nexus. "The '90s are something that everybody wants to go back to, and I promise you, you do not want to go back."
- It's funny how Kirk's fantasy life is basically cosplaying as Chris Pike (SNW edition)
- Is the Nexus the real villain of this movie?
