this only enforces my irrational fear to avoid Nemesis at all costs.

It's a pity that Pluto Nash performed so comically bad at the box-office, otherwise Nemesis would probably have been the biggest (certainly the most high profile) movie flop in 2002!

Is it just me or did anyone else notice how old everyone was looking on the set of Nemesis? Data had a double chin (which I did not know an android could have), Picard (well he still looked good), Crusher was just scary to look at with the wrinkles and all the makeup, Deana was like Mortisha off the Admas Family movies, and the rest of them were wearing so much makeup just to hide how old they actually are. If they come back to do another movie (which I do not think could happen after such a bad bad BADmovie) then they are going to have to be CGI or have serious face lifts.

Perhaps Data decided to have the Fatty Fat Fat ungrade? Though that doesn't explain why B4 had it too. :)

Yeah. I mean, compared to TOS cast circa STVI, they had least (James Doohan aside) aged gracefully.

I think it has more to do with the fact that, in the TOS movies, they took the characters' age into account and made it part of the plot, not something to be shoved under the carpet.

Yeah. It was drawn out over the course of STII to STVI whereas with Nemesis, it got jammed in all at once.

You resurected a week old thread just for that? You should really read the Announcements forum.
