I don’t remember them clinking the grenades together; I just remember them wrapping their hands around each other on the same grenade.

Yes- IIRC, Gorman pulls the pin on his, she wraps her hands around it and holds it close to her chest. Gorman is cradling her at the time because she got sprayed with alien blood.

Gah! I was JUST NOW coming to post that one! More poignant to realize that, to Morant, up until that point, everything his judge, jury, and executioners had done was a ‘mess’.

An excellent point. I’d never thought of that before, but you’re right. God, I love that movie. I saw it 20+ years ago and it’s stuck with me.

While Richard Gere’s character in “Unfaithful” wasn’t necessasrily going to die, he was most certainly going to go to the pokey for a long, long time. The final scene, as he and Diane Lane were sitting in the car at the traffic light in front of the police station, knowing that these were their final moments together…

Hmm…I’m not sure he was going to the jail. The scene was intentionally ambivalent as to their ultimate plans, but they certainly weren’t about to surrender him right there. Their pre-teen son was sleeping in the back seat, remember?

Skald, after watching the movie, I was pretty sure he was going to turn himself in. There were no other alternatives because he didn’t want to live life on the lam. But the alternate ending, which was on the DVD, made it perfectly clear as he actually entered the police station. I might be confusing the two versions.

Spongebob Squarepants: “Squidward, I use your Clarinet to unclog my toilet!”.

*That’s in a best friend type of way. Nothing sexual.

Bethany: What the hell are you DOING?
Jay: We got about five minutes left to live, the whole world’s gonna end… you said you’d fuck me.
Bethany: You’re a pig.
Jay: Oh, what? Nobody’s gonna beat that thing! Now we can lay here all comatose like that John Doe Jersey bastard over there, or we can get makin’ with the love.

I don’t remember the future shown in All Good Things… being so wildly different that it would be a hallucination or illusion. The Federation’s non-existence in The City on the Edge of Forever, the Klingon-Federation war in Yesterday’s Enterprise, the Klingon-Cardassian Union in the *Crossover * et al, the year of hell in Year of Hell, and the temporal clusterfuck that was *Enterprise *were all more extreme in their divergence than it was and they’re all accepted as alternate timelines or parallel universes.

Was there even anything in All Good Things… that directly contradicted Generations? If not, the point of divergence could have been as simple as the Enterprise-D not being destroyed in orbit of Veridian III.

I have to agree with the Romulan here. It was a whole mess of alternate timelines. Q was using his godlike powers to move Picard’s consciousness thru several alternate timelines, each with different realities but related to each other thru the antitime rift and Q’s manipulations. What made it fit effectively into the canon of the entire franchise is Q’s statement that Humanity was still on trial. This was simply one more test. Which, in the person of Jean-Luc Picard, Humanity passed.

Alternate timelines are as much of a fixture in Trek as are ships named Enterprise.

I love when Melanie is on her deathbed and Scarlett finally realizes that she loves her. Melanie was the only true friend she ever had.

Well, Scarlett never admitted that to Melanie. Melanie only saw the good in Scarlett, no matter what she did, and Scarlett bit her tongue so much around Melanie it’s a wonder she didn’t chomp it clean off. Toward the end, Scarlett got an inkling of her true feelings toward Melanie, that she was a mother figure to her, that she was the one person (now that her mother was dead) that she never wanted to disappoint, but it wasn’t until she died that she realized how truly alone she was.
