Your Trek?

Soran was able to see through the fantasy, but unlike Picard, he didn't care.
He knew returning to reality would give him nothing, there was nobody that needed him and nobody he cared about.

Seems like he could have just rented a holodeck.

The real problem is that Picard doesn't send Kirk back in his time to beam Soran back or arrest him or at least put him under surveillance (or counseling), or that he doesn't return to a time where he could effective intervene before something bad happens (preferably even before the Romulan attack that station - proof for Sorans machinations would be there already...).
Pfft. Picard? Doubt he'd want to tamper with the timeline. Kirk? Maybe, but then the movie would be all about him and not an intended TNG film.

Funny... I'd didn't catch the Khan episode until much, much later. I didn't find it detracted from the movie though.
I've still never seen it, but I had no trouble following TWoK either.

It's also because the special effects were none too good, and what's more, parts of the movie didn't make sense.
IIRC, they seriously ran out of money. It was supposed to have a very different ending.

I don't know if it would have made more sense as originally planned, but at least there's a chance.

That, and ILM (who did the effects on Star Trek I [I believe], II and III [IV didn't need them]) wasn't there, since they were busy doing Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters, IIRC.

That's what what I would want. But the movie didn't deliver. Kirk dies from sliding down a cliff on broken metal stairway? I can't decide whether to giggle or yawn. He should have died alone on the bridge of a starship.

Exactly. It wasn't a heroic death, he just kind of falls over and dies.

It was as bad as the ending of Enterprise. Where Riker and Troi basically walked all over the Enterprise characters.

The Enterprise finale was the worst of all the series, even including "Turnabout Intruder". Only the last minute and a half of that episode is even worth watching.

Shows in the 60s really never had endings like we think of them today. They just went away. I am kind of fond of Turnabout Intruder while it is a badly written sexist story I did enjoy Shatner's performance when he was possessed by the female character.

The problems I had with the ending of Enterprise is that they focused more on Riker and Troi than they did on the Enterprise characters. I was really put out with not hearing Archer's speech.

Also the actors looked older than they should have for the time the plot was set in. It also asumed you watched next gen and knew the back plot. I never saw the episode so I had no idea what was going on. If they were going to do this they should have moved the timeline up and maybe had a dilema that Riker was facing as the Captain of the Titian.
