[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 7124708, member: 92305"] The real missed opportunity was Star Trek Insurrection. That movie came out right in the heat of the Dominion War shown on DS9. It was an opportunity to connect the TV and the movie--to have a Trek movie about WAR! All kinds of Trek morality problems could have been presented--those awesome, disguised statements and war and what not. Plus, it would just be cool to see what the Enterprise was doing in the war. They could have had the Enterprise pick up Worf off of DS9 for some special reason related to the plot. But, no. Instead, they gave us and OK movie (meh, as a movie, but is probably a good two-hour TV episode) instead of something really great that connected with the TV show. At least the war was mentioned in the film. The powers that be at Star Fleet didn't want Picard in the war because of his connection with the Borg (who had nothing to do with the Dominion War), so they kept him far away from it. Now, they'll let him command one of their brand new fancy starships. And, he'd just saved the timeline against a Borg attack. But, hey, he's not in good enough shape to fight the Dominion. Big. Missed. Opportunity. [/QUOTE]
