14 Dumbest Things In Star Trek Nemesis

When Picard and Data steal one of the “Scorpion-class attack fliers” from the Scimitar hangar, just how does Picard know the route through the ship that will take them to the one room with the big window perfect for escaping? Data’s been snooping around the Scimitar playing B-4, so sure, maybe he’s learned the layout, but there’s nothing in the film to suggest he’s backseat driving.

When the Enterprise rams the Scimitar later, it’s obvious the hangar is lower on the ship than the window through which the Scorpion escaped. Did it fly up some grand staircase we missed, or did it just take some giant turbolift?

Finally, about the Scorpion fliers, they’re yet another example of Trek movies introducing something for expediency but which factors into the story not one whit. You know what would’ve been a surprise? Introducing these earlier in the story — maybe escorting the Enterprise into orbit — so when Picard and Data find themselves desperate for a way off the ship, have them surprise us by absconding with one and flying through the ship to a place they can get out. Or, hey, have Data use it later to get back onto the Scimitar. Setup and payoff is something the TNG movies were absolutely crap at.
