Do you want to know how deep down the tunnel of schoolwork I have been? I didn't know the teaser for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 had dropped and I didn't even know Logan was a thing that is going to exist. I'm so mad at myself right now. Anyway, Star Trek. This is movie number nine, which means there's only one more to go and then I can start on the Star Wars saga. Yes, all of them and The Clone Wars TV show as well. But for now, let's just concentrate on the further adventures of the Enterprise.
Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) is in the middle of a diplomatic dinner when he receives word that Data (Brent Spiner), who had been loaned out to another ship, has gone crazy and started shooting at Starfleet personnel during an observation mission on a peaceful planet. Picard immediately orders the ship to the site of the incident and ignores orders to destroy Data, choosing instead to shut him off until the cause can be investigated. This incident handled, Admiral Dougherty (Anthony Zerbe) can't get rid of Picard and his crew fast enough, which also seems suspicious. Picard does a little more digging and discovers that the planet has a unique property that reverses aging. Admiral Dougherty wants to remove the Bak'u and use the planet as a panacea to halt death around the galaxy but his ally, Ru'afo (F. Murray Abraham), has much more personal reasons to want the Bak'u gone.
I think this is one of the best in the entire series. All of the ones with the Next Generation crew have been well-written and well-conceived as films. I think the difference is that they know that they are meant to be action films, not extended TV episodes or morality plays.
