This really bothers me.
At the end of Star Trek Generations, Picard leaves the Nexus with Kirk so they can tag team Malcolm McDowell.
But Guinan said he could go anywhere, any time.
And the great Jean Luc Picard, who one scene earlier was in a fairy tale Christmas with a family he never had, decides not to go back in time like six weeks and get a message to earth that prevents his brother and nephew from dying in a fire. Like, “bonjour mon frere, clean your furnace ducts, for real.”
Because he forgot about his brother’s death and how there’ll be no more Picards. Immediately after a fantasy that couldn’t have been more thematically relevant of Robert himself was in the scene.
Failing that, he could’ve gone back to when they first met Malcolm McDowell and arrested him in Ten Forward. That would’ve been the end of the movie, and we wouldn’t have destroyed the greatest ship in Star Trek history.
