The Enterprise-B crew is full of familiar faces, either genre or trek specific. From the top:
Jenette Goldstein, famously Vasquez in Aliens and John Connor’s foster mother.
Thomas Kopache, who’s been on every modern trek including DS9 as Kira’s father. He was also on an SG1 ep.
Tim Russ (Tuvok and and a TNG Mercenary)
and Glenn Morshower, need a senior military officer and he’s there. Also was on TNG in S2 as a tactical officer
Generations fall into the trap of being “the only ship in range” afflicting TMP, TWOK, TFF. TWOK made good use of it but TMP, TFF and STG Earth apparently only has one ship, it’s the Enterprise and she’s in no shape to do anything.
You can see some of the leftover bits when the writers wanted Spock and Bones on the Enterprise-B. Like Kirk telling Scotty that with a tact like that he’d make a lousy psychiatrist or or the fact that Chekov runs sickbay when they realize they don’t have a medical staff.
awww wittle Chekov

Tonight’s Rewatch!
I first saw STG in theatres when it came out and I’d just turned 12. Pretty exciting as Star Trek was cresting a high point around this time. I remember the long lineups, the fact that my mom’s friend had of course gotten tickets for me, him and his friend who drove (and remember very clearly the passenger side mirror getting clipped off bc a car was parked too far off the edge and he kind of turned white but refrained from launching into a profanity-laiden curse bc I was in the car). I don’t know if this was the first Star Trek I’d seen in theatres, I might have seen 6 but I can’t remember (however I did rent it a lot until I could buy it on vhs). I don’t remember much about my feelings on seeing the film but I remember a lot of people were disappointed in Kirk’s death and Harriman.
I also had a copy of the original script he’d obtained, and pored over it meticulously including the deleted scenes of the suborbital jump, the nanoprobes…
Later when I got the VHS I got the one that had the hologram on the box (I’m pretty sure, I know FC had the hologram).
See you out there.

Not this one, sir.
