Star Trek TNG Nemisis:

Chief villian Shin-Shon, being a clone of Picard, and also a subject of accelerated aging, is dying from a genetically inherited disease Picar also has. His only hope for survival is a complete blood transfusion from Picard.

He therefore captures Picard, and his doctors prepare for the procedure. Picard is held captive for some time before Data can free him. Minutes after Picard is freed, Shin-Shon and his guards come to Picard's cell for the procedure (presumably the blood transfusion). Why hadn't Shin-Shon had Picard's blood extracted the moment he captured Picard?

Why can't Shin-Shon's doctors replicate enough blood from a sample of Picard's blood to provide the full blood transfusion he needs?

Data has a prototype emergency transporter transponder. Why doesn't he have it replicated so that Picard can have one also?

Great moments: Shin-Shon's conspirators turning the Romulan Senate into stone with their biogenic weapons.

The android B-4, a Data prototype.

Shin-Shon's ship, the Scimitar, cutting a wing off of a Romulan warbird that came to help the Enterprise.

The Scimitar's cloak, which allows it to fire its weapons! The Romulans should save the blueprints for that cloak!

Deanna mind linking with Shin-Shon's Reman side-kick to locate the Scimitar.

The Enterprise hitting the Scimitar head-on!

Data sending Picard back from the Scimitar to the Enterprise with his emergency transponder, and then dying as the ship blows up.

After the battle, the Romulans sending medical assistance and inviting the Federation to discussions on improved relationships.

B-4 whistling one of Data's favorite songs, indicating that Data's engrams are taking hold.

I took Data's engram showing up in B-4 as an indication that Brent
Spiner had had enough of being Data but the Producers wanted to keep the
ST:TNG Film series going .... but nothing heard!!
