Saw Star Trek: Nemesis last night. Yes, on the day it opened. Yes, I am a geek. What's sad is that I phoned ahead to check that it wasn't sold out, and when I got to the cinema it was only half-full. I guess all the diehard fans would be watching it at George Street in the city.

I'll post more detailed comments later, but for now, I've just got one thing to say.

Data is not dead. He's not. He's just floating in space somewhere, waiting to be recovered. He can survive vacuum. We already saw that. Besides, did anyone find a body? Nooo, I didn't think so. It's one of the cardinal rules of tv: obscure death = not really dead at all. And if anyone tries to tell me that the explosion would have obliterated any remains, or mention the interviews where Brent Spiner said he didn't want Data to age onscreen, I will stick my fingers in my ears and sing.

I'm not in denial. I mean, it's not as if there isn't any precedent. (Remember Search for Spock?)
