Once again the 2nd part of a 2nd parter always seems to disappoint. And that ugly Borg ship is put out of its misery. It may be winner of the most ugly ship award in all of TNG! As Jeri Taylor said, probably too much story - it's why say with DS9, they would have devoted 3-4 eps to properly draw out the story.

I've always thought how fun it would have been to have Lore come back instead of that ridiculous B4 'challenged' mess of a Soong Android in Nemesis. Maybe Shinzon cloaks/changes him so we don't know it's Lore till too late - blah blah whatever - but how much more dynamic a dual Spiner role would have been in that instead of the cringing silliness they produced.

Aye, "Chain of Command, Part II" is a rare exception to the 'two parter' rule. And don't get me started on Nemesis: if there is a Trek fan out there who was happy with that movie, I have yet to meet them. 😁

Nice mention, I'm actually watching a TV movie with Brooke Shields and Richard Thomas which Frank Abatemarco wrote/produced.
