    Question Star Trek: Nemesis (Director's Cut)

    In the wake of guessing if there actually might be another appearence of the TNG crew on the big screen I started wondering, what the fan's chances are, that we will see a newly edited Director's Cut of ST: Nemesis?

    Has there ever been any word about this? Has there been any DC of any Trek movie before? (I seem to recall that there is a DC of TMP).

    There are DCs of ST:TMP and ST2:TWOK. That's it. I wouldn't hold my breath for a DC of Nemesis.

    That's too bad. With all those deleted scenes and holes in the storyline it would be the Trek movie that a DC would possibly do a lot of good.

    Well, the DC of TMP was actually watchable and enjoyable, something that couldn't be said for the original theatrical experience (though I was just 13, and it was pretty cool for what it was...it just wasn't good Trek).

    A DC might help Nemesis, but frankly, I'm not sure I could muster enough "I care" at this point. I was never a big 24th century fan, so it wasn't a major deal with me that it wasn't good.

    That will certainly be helpful for not being disturbed by Nemesis. I grew up with TNG and it still is my fav show, so I care a lot

    Yeah, I can see where that would be a problem....

    I've seen it. It's called Wrath of Khan.

    Well, since the director actually was a cutter originally and also cut Nemesis, we already saw the director's cut. Now we might hope to see a "non-director's"-Cut. Maybe from someone who knows what he or she is doing. How about a "Frakes'"-Cut...

    Yes Star Trek X was a bad ending . . . to a good run. Furthermore, it ended the long standing tradition of even number movies being the good ones. When the odd numbers came around, we laugh, we chuckled . . . and we expected the next one to be the good one.

    But X (Nemesis) was SO outdone by IX (Insurrection) that it's pretty sad to think about it.

    So if they can find a way to improve it. By ALL MEANS. However, will I be willing to purchase it. HECK NO! Rent it, if I have the free time.

    Well...Braga is gone. Now if only Berman can be given the stake throught the Heart, we might be okay
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    We've already got the original DVD and the Special Edition DVD... let's try not to get TOO George Lucas, here...

    I can see your point here, but IMO 'Nemesis' could so much benefit from a DC or let's say "new cut" (just to honour Evan's arguments ).

    We could insert all the Jar-Jar scenes from the "Fan-Edited" Phantom Menace !

    I actually care for TNG, so my idea was to help not to make matters even worse. I believe that Jar-Jar is right where he belongs, a galaxy far far away from Trek

    I'd like to see it.

    Personally, I've never understood the bashing of Nemesis. I absolutely loved it - about the only complaint I had was the "open door" for Data to come back via B4. But I didn't see it as any worse than the "open door" for Spock to come back and get his katra (was that it?) back via Bones.

    Honestly, I would rank the ST films as follows (out of 5):

    I (ST:TMP) - 3
    II (ST: TWoK) - 5
    III (ST: TSFS) - 3
    IV (ST: TVH) - 8
    V (ST: TFF) - 1
    VI (ST: TUC) - 5
    VII (ST:G) - 3
    VIII (ST: FC) - 5
    IX (ST: I) - 3
    X (ST: N) - 4

    Anything over 3 I'd be happy to see a DC of! (And yes, I ended that sentence badly! )
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for others.

    It's the same when you are stupid...
