I simply couldn’t connect with the characters from "Next Generation," and this installment didn't do much to change that impression. The story kicks off with what feels like an especially grating portrayal of the android “Data” (Brent Spiner), who acts out in a quiet community without any technology. What’s going on? Following a pursuit through space and some musical numbers, it turns out the Federation and the "Son'a," a race known for their flawless skin, are working together to exploit a curative radiation source from the planet. However, using this resource would destroy the environment – so what happens to the 600 people who live there? It appears “Data’s” musical antics have alerted them to this situation, and soon "Picard" (Patrick Stewart) and his unlikable team are headed out to intervene. The final twenty minutes offer a bit of an uptick with some laser fire, but for the most part it felt slow and overloaded with talking. The Captain develops a somewhat saccharine romantic connection with Donna Murphy’s “Anij,” and there's also the predictable inclusion of a child and their unusual pet. F. Murray Abraham and Anthony Zerbe gave it their all as the scheming villains, but there wasn’t any real sense of danger. Earlier casts—like Shatner and his colleagues—had an undeniable magnetism, even if their narratives were sometimes flawed; this group lacks that spark, and the constant lecturing just irritated me. Clocking in at almost ninety minutes, it felt like a split episode from the original series, and nothing could make this rebellion exciting, I’m afraid.
