Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

ST X: Nemesis

Where does the first major scene of the film take place?

Star Trek: Nemesis


on the planet Romulus. The first scene of the film unfolds in the halls of the Romulan Senate.



Much to the chagrin of many fans -- myself not included, incidentally -- Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) makes a very brief appearance at the wedding reception of Commander William T. Riker (Johnathan Frakes) and Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis). What does Wesley say in his one scene?

Star Trek: Nemesis


None of these. Wesley doesn't have a single line in the film! We see him seated next to his mother at the head table at the reception, but he never says a word. Kick your agent in the teeth, Wil! (By the way, why was Wesley wearing a Starfleet uniform at the wedding? In his last appearance on "ST:TNG," he quit Starfleet and went wandering with the Traveler! Come on, people!)



Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), the former (?) Ten Forward hostess of the ENTERPRISE, makes an appearance at the reception as well. She mentions to Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (Levar Burton) that she is not interested in getting married again. How many times, according to her own dialogue, has Guinan been married?

Star Trek: Nemesis


23. It should be noted that Guinan is at LEAST five hundred years old, and possibly much older than that.



Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) sings a song at Riker and Troi's wedding reception. Who wrote it?

Star Trek: Nemesis


Irving Berlin. Data sings "Blue Skies," written by Irving Berlin. (Worf even groans "Irving Berlin" in disgust!) Data's "brother," B-4 (also played by Spiner), also sings a line or two from this song at the end of the film, proving that he does possess some of Data's memories. Will B-4 eventually "become" Data? Time will tell...if there's even another movie, of course.



Lt. Commander Worf (Michael Dorn) gets painfully drunk at the wedding. What beverage did he consume too much of?

Star Trek: Nemesis


Romulan ale. Worf notes, in his anguish, that Romulan ale should be illegal. La Forge points out that it is!



Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is given urgent orders that force the ENTERPRISE crew to set a course for Romulus. The ship was originally on its way to an entirely different planet, though. Which one?

Star Trek: Nemesis


Betazed. The original plan, after Riker and Troi's wedding on Earth, was to head to Betazed, Troi's homeworld, for a traditional Betazoid wedding. As far as the events of the movie reveal, though, they never make it there. I bet Deanna's mom is upset!



Picard leads an away team -- against Riker's recommendations, as usual -- mainly because he is anxious to test-drive a new all-terrain vehicle. What is it called?

Star Trek: Nemesis


the ARGO. I found this element of the film a little silly and anachronistic. Why would Starfleet provide a starship with a 20th-century-level-technology automobile, which has a number of physical limitations, when shuttlecraft -- which can fly -- are standard issue?



The ENTERPRISE suffers an astonishing amount of damage during its protracted battle with the SCIMITAR, warship of Praetor Shinzon (Tom Hardy). In fact, a notable item from the ship's bridge no longer exists by the end of the battle. What is it?

Star Trek: Nemesis


the viewscreen. The "front" of the bridge is actually breached at one point -- the viewscreen is blown out into space, along with several crewmembers. Luckily, the emergency force fields come online within a few seconds, saving the rest of the bridge crew and giving everyone on the bridge a rare "authentic" view (in other words, through a giant HOLE) of what lies before them.



While in the stellar cartography lab, Picard uses a famous quote that Data does not immediately recognize. To what work of literature has Picard referred?

Star Trek: Nemesis


the bible. Picard says, almost under his breath, "For now we see through a glass, darkly." He is referring to Shinzon's observation that he (Shinzon) is a reflection of Picard. The line is from the Book of Corinthians. (Shouldn't Data, with his massive memory banks, have recognized that line, though? Hmmm...)



Just before Data leaps into the vacuum of space to cover the distance between the ENTERPRISE and the SCIMITAR, he shares a knowing look with Geordi that makes it clear that Data is pretty sure that he's never going to see his best friend again. What does Data say, just before Geordi deactivates the force field and allows Data to engage in some amazing extra-vehicular activity?

Star Trek: Nemesis


nothing. The silent look that the two friends share is quite powerful: they both know that it's the last time they will ever see each other. Data's sad smile is proof positive that his emotion chip is functioning properly...and that Brent Spiner is a talented actor.



At the end of the film, Will Riker is finally, *finally* leaving the ENTERPRISE to become the captain of his own starship. (Only took you fifteen years, Will!) What is this ship's name?

Star Trek: Nemesis


the USS TITAN. The general buzz seems to be that "Nemesis" will be the last "Star Trek" movie...but if it does extremely well at the box office, we all know that the series will keep going. If it does, I expect we'll see Picard's ENTERPRISE and Riker's TITAN teaming up to fight for truth, justice, and the Federation way. Hope you enjoyed the quiz!
