I, like Stephen King (reportedly), gave up on this piece of complete garbage about halfway through. The makers of this film take completely innocuous images, and, with their paranoia or complete idiocy, try to mold them into some kind of 'message'.

The only message you need to know is - these people are NUTS. This film is GARBAGE. And they can't (at least by the halfway point of this film) even begin to tie this nonsense together.

The film is about 90+ minutes long (and about 85 minutes TOO long). The reason it hits the 1.5 hour mark is because for each absurd image they try to explain, they take FOREVER to make their point. It's mind numbing and excruciating to wait as these film makers get to their point - only to find out THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.

To these dolts, continuity errors in THE SHINING are 'hidden Kubrick messages'. Food canisters have hidden meanings. Janitors mopping a floor have hidden meanings. The tee shirt a woman is wearing in the lobby on the last day of the season - yep - hidden meaning. The only problem is - they never say WHAT that meaning is.

What these clowns have done is to go through the film, pull out images at random, and assign their imagination to it and come up with the trash they are trying to peddle.

SPOILERS -

In FINAL MISSION, Picard, Wesley Crusher, and some idiot miner named Dirgo, crash land on a desert moon. The moon is uninhabited. They walk across a desert because Wes picks up an 'energy source' on his tri- corder. When they get to some caves, the three of them, now nearly dying of thirst from the heat and lack of water, find what amounts to a large drinking fountain. But of course, it's protected by a 'force-field' - which when Dirgo insists on continually firing phasers at, kills him, and ensuing rock-slide critically injures Picard.

Wesley, as usual, comes up with some 'techno-babble' way to deactivate the force-field, thereby saving himself and an injured Picard until the Enterprise eventually finds and rescues them (for most of the episode, they've been dealing with a radioactive garbage scowl that's threatening to poison a planet - so we get a nice little environmental message here as well).

Question: Why does this fountain have a force-field around it? It's a deserted moon, no life, no sign of life, except for a big protected drinking fountain. Why would anyone put that there??? Who did put it there???? Even if it was put there by someone else to have a safe water supply, it begs the question - if they left that moon, and planned to return (therefore they have space travel ability) why not just bring water with you when you return?? Also, the amount of water coming from this fountain would indicated a huge underground water source - on a desert moon. The entire concept is absurd. And why wouldn't they just use their phasers a few feet way to dig another path to this underground water source? Why play games with this absurd force-field, that for some reason, has already killed one person?

The problem here is, it was created by the writers as a plot device to give Wes something to do, be the hero, and stretch out the story.

Usually TNG explains things like this. But here, they all just shrug their shoulders, beam everyone up to the ship and fly away. STUPID.

If you saw this (especially if you saw it with SOULMATES), you were being tested for the products in the commercials. You likely filled out a survey on several products, then were shown the TV shows under the lie that your reviews would be used in the production of the shows or future shows. They told you that you would see commercials so the experience would be the same as it was when you watch the shows at home. After the shows were finished, you had a second survey of the products. This was to see if the ads had any effect and if you changed your results.

NOTHING about this has ANYTHING to do with these TV shows. It's a marketing scam to get you to watch the ads and test their effectiveness.

DON'T waste your time on this nonsense.

BTW, SOULMATES (a drama) was funnier than THE CITY.
