I agree. I also remember in Star Trek 5, when Kirk told Spock and McCoy, “I’ve always known I’ll die alone.” I don’t know why they were so hell-bent on killing Kirk off. And the way they killed him off was so lackluster. The legendary James Kirk deserved better. There are so many ways they could have had Kirk survive. William Shatner is a really good author, and in fact, wrote a Star Trek novel, which takes place immediately after the events of the generations movie. The book is called Star Trek the return. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. I think this would have been a great movie. I don’t want to spoil it for you if you haven’t read it. But if you do decide to read it, I really think you will enjoy it.

Shatner was on the other side of the country in Florida for the fundraiser and simply couldn't get back to it. Other LA celebrities were easily able to attend because they were in LA already. Shatner felt, and thought Nimoy would agree, that the good of the many outweighs the needs of the one. Nimoy's family agree and have backed up Shatner on this in the press.

That would have been a much more awesome ending for the movie and fans would have loved it, to see Kirk cheat death one more time. Maybe in an alternate reality. And the books had a different fate for Kirk returning from the Nexus written by Shatner.

But since Scotty was there when Kirk died in this movie when the string hit the Enterprise B he never would have made the statement that Kirk was still alive and had coming to look for him.

The lowest, worst moment in the Star Trek canon is Kirk’s death-the manner of it, not the death itself. For a living legend who had seen so many adventures, so many near death experiences, and defeated so many enemies, to be killed as he was- it was just wrong in every way. Even Malcolm McDowell said that he did not agree with it in any way, that a legend such as Kirk, a mythic figure, should die in a blaze of glory. And there should have been a bit more in the scenes between the captains. Such a disappointment in so many ways, but Kirk’s death was just so deflating. Even Stewart looks like he knows the scene is wrong. By the way, why would you bury him in rock? And how did he even do it? Lazy writing all around- these characters deserved far better Spock visiting his long thought dead friend’s grave? THAT is worthy of these characters. Not a word said- nor did there need to be. And it brings tears to my eyes

Disagree. To be killed on a desolate world far from his friends is very powerful. What do you want, some childish comic-book ending? He died a hero, saving the day as usual, just as he would've liked. His body would've been taken back to Earth for a massive funeral where his life was celebrated. People die, it sucks and we have to deal with it. My brother died suddenly of a heart attack at 54. It was such a waste, and very powerful to me.

I've got to sat, this should have been a post credit scene, this would have been beautiful, it really does give this a sense of completion, and a real ending. they could have done so much more, perhaps they will in years to come, as tech and software gets better, it might be done

That's BS. There was no alternative ending that brought Nimoy into it. He flat out refused to be part of the movie because his role in it would be nothing more than a cameo where he said a few lines. In the end they gave those lines to Scotty.

Kirk,although his technological skills were 75 years obsolete would have been a major asset to the Federation in the Next Gen timeframe. His command skills and experience would always be useful.

No one could ever replace the original cast, Don't know why JJ even tried. It's like saying. Oh your precious one passed away. well here is the "Replacement." srsly... These are not just roles to be filled. The actors had a part in creating the characters. I can't imagine anyone as spock other than Leonard Nemoy. William Shatner is James T. Kirk, DeForest Kelley is Leonard McCoy, James Doohan is Montgomery Scott, Nichelle Nichols is Nyota Uhura, Walter Koenig is Pavel Chekov, George Takei is Hikaru Sulu, Majel Barrett is Nurse Christine Chapel, Grace Lee Whitney is Janice Rand, John Winston is Kyle, Michael Barrier is Vincent DeSalle, Roger Holloway is Roger Lemli, Eddie Paskey is Leslie, David L. Ross is Galloway, Jim Goodwin is John Farrell, Grant Woods is Kelowitz, William Blackburn is Hadley, Frank da Vinci is Brent, Ron Veto is Harrison, Jeffrey Hunter is Christopher Pike, Majel Barrett is Number One, Peter Duryea is José Tyler, Laurel Goodwin is J. M. Colt, John Hoyt is Phillip Boyce. They can not be replaced. They need to stop trying and replace them. And make something new, with new actors. Or use AI or something.

I never really liked "Generations" but had to watch it. I couldn't believe how the legendary CPT Kirk was so easily killed. He deserved a much greater and purposeful sendoff. ST-V (The Final Frontier) is the only Star Trek movie I disliked more.
@LongDuckDong2599 Жыл бұрын
I absolutely agree with you. I didn’t really understand why they were so hell-bent on killing his character off anyway, this is sci-fi there any number of ways they could’ve brought Kirk into the 24th century. However, William Shatner is a good author and he wrote a Star Trek book called the return which takes place after the events of generations and it is a great novel in my opinion and I think it would’ve made a really good movie. I recommend reading it if you haven’t I think you’ll really enjoy it.

@@aldunlop4622 really? The legendary starship captain that saved the galaxy many times got taken out by the least notable Star Trek villain that was hellbent on altering the course of some nebulous time ribbon. How boring and uneventful was that?
@aldunlop462227 күн бұрын
@@kerrywatkins1400 It's a good science fiction story. A ribbon in space that exists in a different dimension of spacetime where thought becomes reality. Great stuff. Kirk dies in TWO heroic scenes. A fitting send-off. The scene with Picard and Data figuring out what Soren is up to? Brilliant. I don't watch Star Trek for massive space battles and action. I watch it for heroism and intellect. But the crash of the saucer section is fucking awesome too.

Thee entire history of Genes work of Star Trek is a real personal favorite through the many years from the birth of the original through TNG and all the movies in their series. The filming scenes and everything has made me look into the heavens and space for many years thinking? Could we ever be able to live like that and how truly interesting things might be communicating with life of different planets. But then the cold really hits and we all realize ? We can't even agree to work together on earth here . Just look at the current conflicts ongoing. Gene had a great vision .

It would have been beyond good to see this as an ending to that film. It would have been absolutely brilliant! Two fictional characters and actors to say goodbye to their characters this way. No words to describe the wow factor of it. Whoever dreamed this up it needs to be highlighted for all Star Trek fans to always see!
@shootingthebreeze443210 ай бұрын
This would’ve been about a million times better of an ending. Generations is by far my least favorite Star Trek film. Soran was a weak villain, Kirk’s death and the destruction of Enterprise D were completely unnecessary and not given proper reverence in my opinion.

Something to remember… Kirk, or at least his “echo”, is alive and well inside the Nexus just like Guinan. He just can’t leave it, like Guinan’s “echo”. So in a way Kirk didn’t really die at all.

Man Star Trek Generations was not one of my favorite Star Trek films for 2 different reasons one seeing the destruction of the Enterprise D and second seeing the death of the legendary starship Captain James T. Kirk dieing like that for making a difference again I really really hated that and I'm pretty sure a lot of Star Trek fans did too and I'll bet there wasn't a single dry eye in the theatres when people saw that part of Kirk's passing.
