: first of all, I liked the movie and thought it was definately entertaining and worth seeing if you are a STAR TREK fan (which I am)but I can't believe they killed off DATA. I realize that Brent Spiner the actor who plays DATA is getting older and it would become pretty hard to cover up the aging process of the actor with just makeup,since he is an android and doesn't age...but they could have used prosthetics maybe? I wonder if that is even the reason they killed him off,in the event that they might nake another NEXT GENERATION full screen movie,but why did GEORDI download DATA's memory banks into the other android that they found? Could it be that maybe he will be taking DATA's place in the future,or that GEORDI switched the two before sending DATA to the ALIEN ship to destroy it? But why would he keep that a secret? and why was DATA's brother whistling that tune at the end of the movie? If they are gonna get rid of DATA,than just get rid of him,don't replace him with a stupid ass retarded twin brother version of him to bug us in the future if there is indeed anymore NEXT GENERATION movies in the future. Maybe they did that to leave it open to possibilities in case it's not the last movie and they want to bring back DATA somehow,but I really don't think he could have survived that explosion unless he was transported off that ship at the last second by a neighboring alien vessel...which was highly unlikely.
