I like both beginnings: in space and at sea.
And this is a necessary link between old and new, both to announce the definite end of “old” and as a symbol of “unity” to bring fans of each together.
Sounds a bit silly, but it’s true. And when I say that, I’m including myself in those that are glad it was done this way – with the symbolic handing-over of the torch.
Favorite parts:
– Data’s “emotion chip” insertion and subsequent results.
– Nexus experiences/emotions/discussions.
– Of special amusement: Data’s little song.
– Kirk/Picard interaction
Good transition, good movie. Good…moving. At times, at least.
