Hmmm, I thought the first contact film was well before 98, sinse I remember going to see it in secondary school, and I left that school in summer 97. As soon as I have the time, money and inclination to track down a cheap copy, I really should acquire all the next gen films on Dvd, including first contact as it's ages sinse I saw the film. I Particularly need to see nemesis apparently, as it features half the enterprise bridge crew singing the madrigal from Hms pinafore, ---- and apparently Data singing "I am the monarch of the sea" which would be fun, especially as the only G&S that seems to make it's way into Scifi is the modern major general's song from pirates of penzance.
Swerving away from offtopicitude here, I can't see fan produced free games really raising too much trouble Nio0 if you want to do something startrek related, not so long as it stays free, ---- and Gma games have managed to survive with the commercial game going as well.
I do think though, that expanding the universe of solaris prime would be a good idea though.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
