I tried rewatching Generations last night in prep for a podcast crossover I'm doing. As the TOS guy, I was trying to watch it as if I'd never seen TNG. While its OK as a TNG movie, its terrible as a TOS movie.

I understand that TNG had been around for 8 years and who's going to go into Generations with no knowledge of TNG, but it really doesn't serve as an introduction to anything. Who are these people? Who cares?

It's my opinion it was WAY too late in the game for them to have a "passing of the torch" movie. TNG had had it's run, several TOS characters had already passed it, including McCoy in the freaking pilot. It's not like anyone who was still holding out would be convinced by a movie where the TOS characters are treated like second-class citizens, then murdered.
