B-4 may also remember having emotions, by the next movie. For some reason the fact that in "Nemesis" Data had no memory of his emotion chip bothered me more than anything else in the movie. I know that it's more or less insignificant, but that really pissed me off and kept nagging at me.

well, correct me if im wrong, but i saw the movie opening weekend, and i thought that durring the weding dinner scene while data was singing he was also showing a bit of emotion, ether way, the thing that bugs me is that he never did his little twitch of the head to turn it off and on. why dont they ever keep a straigt story line!

I seem to remember that Data has been shown acting in the holodeck a few times. Before having his emotion chip, Data appeared to be able to "feign" emotions while doing things like acting.

The trouble with the whole thing about Data's "sacrifice" was that they could have sent somebody over in a space suit (like Kirk went after Spock in Star Trek The Motion Picture).

I guess they forgot to stock space suites on Federation Ships after Kirk's era??

Its been awhile since I saw the film, but was the distance covered by Data really that much greater than that of David Bowman in "2001: A Space Oddessey" (without a helmet)?

Redshirst are like that, they must emit some sort of Infinite Improbability Field but one that attracts every type of danger within several parsecs to their position, thus saving any real people nearby.

They are the ultimate cannon fodder, maybe you could make an ablative armour made from Redshirts...
Then due to some inexplicable technobabble, the armour would actually contribute to his death :P
