Okay, I know I'm way behind the rest of the nation here, but I really liked this exchange in Star Trek: Nemesis (which I just saw for the first time, since my mother bought the DVD):
LaForge: You ever think about getting married again?
Guinan: No, twenty-three was my limit.
I gotta say, though, that overall, Nemesis was only okay, in my opinion. Pretty to look at, but awfully splashy, and like Insurrection, missing the unselfconscious campiness of the early Star Trek movies, and the heart that was in Generations (if tempered with cheesiness) and First Contact. Would have been worth $2 at the Oaks, and maybe $5.50 on an afternoon matinee if they were still that cheap, but fuck paying $9-11 to see that movie. I'm glad I didn't. (See, folks, this is part of the reason why I almost never go to see movies when they come out.)

1) kill the trombone sucking dork
2) marry the klingon and the telepath
3) give the android his own situation comedy; a suitable premise would be "A tin man and his cat in the 24th century"
of course, that's just my reaction...
