Star Trek: Nemesis

Nemesis
Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

IMDB rating: 6.40

Plot: On their way to Riker’s and Troi’s honeymoon, the Enterprise is sent near the neutral zone to Romulan space, and picks up a prototypic twin of android Data. Immediately they are further sent to Romulus, where a new praetor, Shinzon, a human cloned from Captain Picard who lives on the slave planet Remus, appears to want peace with the Federation. But then the crew detects a break-in on their computer systems, and Picard is captured by the Remans because Shinzon needs him as his only matching supplier of genetic material. Picard and the Enterprise can escape, only to find themselves battling Shinzon’s completely cloaked Warbird, who is after the complete destruction of earth.

Nerd-vey: What's your favourite Star Trek movie?
(Due to the nerdiness of this question, please feel free to make humourous and derisive comments.)

Which is your favourite?
1 Star Trek:The Motion Picture (TMP) - A space probe returns home
2 The Wrath of Khan (TWoK) - Revenge is a dish best served cold
3 The Search for Spock (TSFS) - Dr. McCoy is possessed by Spock, allowing the rebirth of Spock
4 The Voyage Home (TVH) - A space aged Free Willy
5 The Final Frontier (TFF) - The search for God
6 The Undiscovered Country (TUC) - The Klingons make peace with the Federation
7 Generations (Gen) - The torch is passed from Kirk to Picard
8 First Contact (FC) - Those nasty borg attempt to alter history
9 Insurrection (Ins) - A disowned group returns to exact revenge on their home planet (a la TWoK)
10 Nemesis (Nem) - Data is reborn (a la TSFS)
11 Star Trek (2009) - A return to the original with a new twist/timeline

My favourite is still TWoK.

BQ Are you a fan of The Original Series (TOS) or The Next Generation (TNG) etc. or both?
Hey, I like Star Wars too (the original trilogy). Sorry, but not much of a fan of the second trilogy even though Natalie Portman is cute.


I’m going through ‘pon far’ right now, but I’ll try to compose myself long enough to answer.

Wrath of Khan rocks. That first battle scene was just awesome, and Ricardo had the best fake pecs, evar.

BA: Both. I hated TNG at first, but the Borg assimilated me.

What stores would carry Metal Gear Solid, Scarface action figures, etc?
I am trying to find a store that carries action figures such as ones from the Metal Gear Solid video game, Scarface, Spiderman, The Simpsons, etc. Are there any stores that carry them or are they only available online?


surprisingly, you can possibly get them off Toy’s R’ Us online because that is where I ordered a Captain Spaulding action figure from the House Of 1000 Corpse’s movie. You also can get them from Ebay.

Your list of items sounds like the kind of thing to find in your local comic-book store. These local shops stock items not necessarily popular enough to be sold in larger retail chains (or they might have leftover-inventory older inventory from older lines). For example, I haven’t seen any Metal Gear Solid figures in quite some time, but I know my local shop still has a few hanging on their wall. Beware, however, you might end up paying a premium on such older items - but likely not worse than buying from an independent seller on eBay, etc.
