Your Daily Dose of Christmas

In Generations, the first Star Trek movie to feature the cast of The Next Generation, the plot involves an evil scientist whose goal is to do whatever he needs to do to get back into “the Nexus”, which is some kind of alternate dimension where wishes are fulfilled or some such thing. The whole thing doesn’t make a lot of sense, but late in the movie Captain Picard finds himself there, and his temptation to remain is a Very English Christmas that looks like something out of one of the rich family scenes in a Dickens novel. Not much to write home about, really, but Dennis McCarthy’s scoring of this dream-like sequence is interesting ethereal.
