Star Trek Nemesis Deleted Scene: "Where noone has gone before"

[@robertbrown3064]

I will never understand why this scene was cut. This, to me, is the best note to end the TNG era on. Bright, optimistic, and boldly going where no one has gone before.

I’ve never said this before but this is one deleted scene they should’ve left in!!!! 😍👍🏻

[@sephiroth1985102514]

My thoughts EXACTLY!

[@carlyleroad]

I disagree. At this point in the film, much of the audience was still reeling from Data’s demise. Ending with the suggestion that he was still ‘alive’ in the memory of B4 was a stronger point to end on. This clip in isolation looks like fun but edited into the final film it would have just made the whole franchise seem to fizzle out - even with the cheesy use of ‘...where no-one’s gone before’ as the final words.

[@MIKE-yr9pm]

yeah tbh i think that this scene wouldve been better than the scene with B4

[@Landmark2Security]

How do you not promote one of your own? This made no sense

[@jayvardy]

The scene doesn't work. It doesn't give us any new information other than that the new first officer is someone we've never met before... And who is that man? A generic looking middle aged officer with almost no charisma oozing off of him. This would have been a terrible ending to a mediocre at best movie. They made the right call to end with B4 and Picard walking to the bridge with hope.

Any time I've seen Will Wheaton outside of character, as himself, he is actually a very awesome person. I first experienced his real persona by surprise as a guest host on the old techtv show, 'Ask for Help,' then again on 'Screensavers.' His current web show, 'table top,' is particularly fantastic. In hindsight, I wish the character of Wesley Crusher was allowed to mature into Will's true personality. It would've depicted character growth, humor, wit, & not felt so tight. I wouldn't mind seeing him play a new star trek character in a new series which is more like himself. Richard Dean Anderson & Ben Browder both proved intelligent humor works in science fiction tv shows when done well. Wheaton exudes this naturally.

[@llamapi3]

These actors all wanted to move on. (Biggest reason they offed Data was because he was aging too quick for the role and just wasn't interested any more.) Though the age thing they get by with Data simply saying he modified his skin to show his age. But beyond that you're talking they had a 7 season series and 4 movies. Something around 15 years of reprising those roles? They were done. No matter how much I would have loved to see the main Trek timeline continue it would have never been with the same people and actors. And I still hate how they killed Data off.

[@roji556]

+llamapi3 Patrick Stewart didn't really mind either way. He was fine with continuing or ending it.

[@cydaliaacevedo8635]

Data dying was lame esp since the same actor was seen playing an identical role! Had Data died and there was no B4 and no official Star Trek Countdown comic to launch Trek 2009 movie clearly featuring Data as we knew him for years on TNG and the TNG movies meaning he looked like Brent I would be ok Brent wants out I understand that but to show us a identical android played by Brent--it just doesnt gel at all

[@donskiver]

It's not that the role was boring for him. He loved the role. It's just that he believed that he had visibly aged out of the role. It didn't think it believable that an unaging android with a child like perspective on everything, viewing everything with wonder, would be believably received by audiences with an old man playing the role. Even though data could alter his appearance at will and "age" himself, Brent Spiner didn't think it "fit" with the character to be played by an older man.

[@mirza5766]

The reason Picard never laughed it off is because he always envisioned Data as his “Number One”

[@MrGlenspace]

So many cuts scenes that add humanity to the movie. Plus a nugget that ties into Picard Tv show.

[@edwardboot3431]

I just re-watched Nemesis earlier this week. I remember watching this once before and see it again. I am officially naming this the REAL ending to Nemesis, don't care what anyone says! So much more fitting to the original tone of the show. The way it ended in the actual version was stupid. Picard walks out of the room and then they show the Enterprise in the construction scene. Seemed lame. Much nicer to see it flying through space again with one last shot of Picard in the captains chair.

[@shuboy05]

Since this was a deleted scene, the Pocket Book novels that followed Nemesis made Worf the new first officer. And the Picard prequel novel revealed Worf got promoted to Captain when Picard made Admiral.

They cut it because it contradictory. Picard tells him that he needed him now to help oversee the refit(the damage was substantial) and at the same time they talk about having a new mission. Unless they are going to put the crew on another ship the refit IS the mission. This is why they usually have a refit crew while the rest of the crew go to other ships and postings. So this makes no sense. I do like Riker messing with the new guy though.

Three senior officers just left. His first officer, his counselor who also had the rank of commander and his senior operational officer. Yet only one came to replace Riker. Nobody for Troi or Data.

PickelJars ForHillary That's a true statement. It all worked out better for Worf later anyways. He became a Federation Ambassador.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Worf didn't have enough experience to be second in command of a large ship. He only had just recently switched to command division on DS9 after coming from a very specialized unit (security/tactical). His experience onboard DS9 was not even that of the XO officer (Major Kira held that spot) . He was also put on report for the incident where he failed his mission just to save his wife. He would not have been approved by the oversight board for the permanent position. The ship needed an experienced executive officer who didn't need to learn on the job. For Worf to have been qualified, he would need to do a stint as an XO with a less capable vessel, such as a transport or smaller cruiser type ship, and if he passed that, then might be worthy of consideration.

[@Scimittar]

Yes, I agree. This is very unique. They laughed together and had great fun working on the show. They were great crew in front of the camera and same off the camera.

[@mikegallant811]

Star Trek Online comes after this.

[@jcohasset23]

A lot of that is because of the relationship between CBS Corporation and Paramount (which is owned by the current Viacom). They use to be one company as Viacom but when it split in 2005 CBS ended up owning the brand and Paramount the film library even though the shows had been made under Paramount. CBS really had no interest in Star Trek until they decided to use it for CBS Access and all of the licensing agreements since 2005 mean that nothing new can technically be canon in Prime including Discovery and whatever they do with bringing back Picard. That licensing agreement is why The Kelvin Timeline and Discovery look so different from Prime- they contractually have to be 25% different. I'm not sure how Star Trek Online deals with the licensing but I'm sure they have to go through a lot to get to use the ships and the numerous Star Trek veteran actors and actresses from all six shows (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and DIS) to do voice work in reprising their role in the MMO.

[@feenix219]

@@jcohasset23 The 25% is a creative decision, not a legal one - its so they can sell more stuff under multiple labels and lines.

[@nubularconniption3939]

Mike Gallant Not to be hurtful, you can like whatever you like, but a mediocre MMO based on startrek isn’t exactly... true canon, IMO.

[@mustarddoctor]

Thankfully......We have something that will finally thrust itself forward into the future. Star Trek Picard will finally detailed us about 20 years after nemesis/voyager. Star Trek Discovery has been thrust 900 years into the future (800 some years from the tng era) so we get to see new eras in the forthcoming content

[@SpecialGuestStar]

"The Deneb system, where noone has gone before" Ok, now I understand why this scene had to be deleted.

[@DLordSadow]

Two things, first isn't Picard's "new" chair Archer's old chair from season 4 of ST:ENT? Also the HAVE been to the Deneb system BEFORE! In the ST:TNG series premiere in fact: Encounter At Farpoint.

[@kofteburger]

It's the same chair.

[@richtaylor6039]

Yeah, call him JL....he frigging loves that.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

That's why Raffi was a mismatched character in "Picard." Jean-Luc would've been very annoyed with her lack of respect for command hierarchy and blunt speaking manner. She did mellow somewhat during S3 when she was paired with Worf. I think she did manage to learn a thing or two from him (besides Klingon martial art).

[@tsdobbi]

"Picard is introduced to his new first officer" Hes old as fuck, he was on the NX-01!

[@celinabarabbas3290]

This deleted scene was better than the rest of the entire movie!

[@jesseg1758]

That't the one Maco dude from the Enterprise series.

[@thehighground_]

A scene about not calling Captain Picard by his first name. ST Picard S1E3 somebody keeps calling Admiral Picard JL.

[@thehighground_]

@Leo Peridot I mean it was just established he doesn't prefer an informal name but thanks for wasting time.

[@OlaBetiku]

I kinda understand cutting the chair part but the rest could have been used in a limited way.

[@MidinVal]

Dang I never knew this existed! That was awesome!

[@IIISentorIII]

i miss the good old star trek days :)

[@hosswindu166]

I miss that 1990s sweet spot for science fiction which included Next Gen, DS9, Voyager, and many other shows.

[@BeckettSong]

Adrian Monk would love that Captains' chair. It's got a SEAT BELT! In an episode of "MONK", the title character is sitting in a hi-tech van on a stakeout with some FBI agents and he requests to switch seats with Natalie whom is seated in a chair that has a seat belt. Captain Picard's "It's about time" was obviously a result of many fans and fictional officers alike wondering why are there no seat belts in a ship that can travel approximately warp factor 9.4.

[@oninoni]

Warp 9.5 is not 9.5 times the speed of light it's more like 800-21000 times the speed of light

[@1958PonyBoy]

+Steven Baldi Well, if the inertial dampeners were good enough to keep them from being turned into jelly maneuvering even at impulse speeds, Seat belts should not be necessary. But we're talking Star Trek, where they haven't re-invented fuses for the instrument panels yet.

[@AthleticQuails]

Being the flagship, I'm sure the inertial dampeners would've been good enough. I like to think that the seat belt was installed in cases where they may have needed to exceed maximum cruise velocity

[@1958PonyBoy]

+Anup Sonigra Regardless of the physics involved, it seems a moot point unless ALL of the bridge chairs were similarly equipped. Otherwise Picard would be calmly issuing orders to crewmen otherwise engaged in their own acrobatics across the bridge.

[@keyera1378]

Hard to believe Star Fleet hasn't been to Deneb.

[@MrGunlover12]

Do yall realize the deneb system was also where fairpoint station station was located in the TNG pilot episode

[@Thermool]

rob peterson Deneb 4 if I recall correctly

[@seanwebb605]

Why wasn't Worf considered for first officer? He had been in the command structure on both Enterprises under Captain Picard and served as first officer on DS9. Often commanding the Defiance.

[@stevenheckert4515]

according to the Titan books, Picard assumed that either Word or LaForge would become #1 on the Titan under Riker. both turned him down to remain under Picard. from what I remember Worf was appointed ambassador to Cronos for a time and this first officer eventually transferred or was promoted. LaForge actually has senior over Worf due to this BUT elected to remain chief of engineering, tho he did become 2nd officer (ops Officer was at that time an engineering subordinate.)

[@baldieman64]

Because he's a terrible shot. In TNG, his miss to hit ratio is off the charts - even at close range.

[@alexjones1985]

In the books, he was made first officer, but took the job reluctantly.

[@seanwebb605]

baldieman64 Ha. Worf was the clumsy stormtrooper of the Star Trek Universe. Or the Jar Jar Binks.

[@baldieman64]

Don't mock Darth Jar Jar.

[@vcioprescu]

awww... i miss these guys. The new Star Trek just isn't the same

[@LGranthamsHeir]

1:15 - 1:35 The dirty look Picard gave to his new First Officer when the latter called him by his first name was so telling of his command style. Then how come his ex-first officer in "'Picard'' called him JL and got away with it? There's some big plot inconsistencies.

[@robertwall1419]

After all that they had been through together⁉️Besides, Picard was retired , and Riker wanted to show everyone that he was fully supportive of Picard.🫡

[@carlovolti6350]

That's funny; it's been so long since I've seen this that I thought it WAS the ending.

[@gamerex9378]

This is a piece of history right here. Its rare that you see a cam video from 2002 in such good quality.

[@chrisburke624]

I'm confused... I live in the EU, and this WAS the ending to Nemesis. I watched it just the other week, and found this video as I was scrolling through various scenes. Looks like it was cut from the American release?

[@procyon6370]

Yeah, we didn't get this.

[@Kontorotsui]

Where did you watch it?

[@Reticuli]

Who the was responsible for the final cut? A lot of these deleted scenes, like this and the Chateau Picard scene, helped the film tremendously.

[@JasonAguirre]

That was actually pretty good...

[@IZZYINN2]

God I miss TNG these films made me feel human & I had hope for the future, Just hope the new Picard series is up to it.

[@TroyConvers5000]

And that was the last time we saw proper Star Trek. Please come back.

[@careNsympathy]

Who is "noone"? Why are we going where he's already gone?

[@TheBetterGame]

Noone. Cousin to Soong

[@joshfish2]

why does it always have to be PC? Besides no man can be as in no HUman (e.g the dawn of mankind, they don't mean the dawn of males -_-)

[@yvindblff5628]

Why not? "No one" is more accurate than "no man", regardless of how much weight you ascribe to the choice of words. That may be a small, even petty reason, but I can't think of any reason at all for the alternative.

[@joshfish2]

Øyvind Bløff no it's not more or less correct, depends on the context. no man still means HUman, just as no ONE referrs to HUMANS ONLY, it doesn't count animals etc.

[@MaskedMan66]

+Øyvind Bløff The joke is that it's misspelled "noone," which is inaccurate. It's either "no one" or "no-one." Never "noone."

[@KingOfLesbia]

I guess riker should have told him to refer to Picard as .J.L. 🙄

[@RMJ1984]

Riker always trolling ;D

[@heavyarms01h]

I'm a fan of the whole franchise, but I know how you feel. This was the crew that I grew up with. I'd spent my childhood watching them on TV and in the theater. I miss the time when TNG was new, too.

[@masterskrain]

I have the feeling that Picard knew EXACTLY what was happening as soon as Madden mentioned Riker pulling his leg!

[@scottmcintosh4397]

It needs to be put back in.
