First and second or firstly & secondly, not one of each, but without the ly flows better


* We're told that the Nexus is such a wonderful place that you never want to leave and yet Picard is only briefly tempted by it. We're also shown a paradise for Picard that is not at all what we would imagine for the guy (just for starters, the guy had just barely warmed up to children during the series and yet has several in his paradise, and lives in an old fashioned home that would seem to contrast his original desire to get away from traditional settings and look towards the future.) But his Nexus was created out of a temporary emotional stress he had yet to cope with, which led to him creating a "paradise" that he could quickly get over and detach himself from.
** Not entirely; he has been hinted to have wanted children in other storylines, or at least to wonder about it, plus he has regretted not spending enough time with his family or seeing them more, given the rather poor circumstances he left home on. The main reason he is less tempted is simply that, firstly, he knew in advance what the Nexus was like (Kirk, Soran, Guinan etc. did not), and second that he knew billions of people had died to make his fantasy come true. The Nexus doesn't speak to temporary fantasies; it speaks to your deepest, most hidden desires, and after realizing his dream of exploring the universe Picard's deepest desire was to have a family, but he felt he had gotten too old to start one.

** Brought up and rejected in ''[[Literature/StarTrekShatnerverse The Return]]''; while trying to determine how Kirk has come back to life, Riker asks if he could be a Nexus echo, and is informed by Doctor Bashir that he's already spoken with Guinan about that option, and she confirmed that since Kirk ''chose'' to leave the Nexus rather than being pulled out unwillingly by a transporter, he left no such echo.

* Fridge Heartwarming: Kirk always believed that he would die alone, but when the end finally came, he wasn't; Picard was there with him.

* Why did the bridge give way with just the weight of one man? Remember how old Soran was? He could have had the bridge and launch pad built decades ago, well after any work crews might have passed on. This would have kept it secret without having to kill anyone and draw attention to it. When Kirk tried using the damaged bridge, it could have been after years of exposure to the elements. Metal fatigue would have set in much faster.

*** According to one of the novels Starfleet would actually send a team of salvage ships to drag the Saucer back into orbit and then tow it back to Earth where it would be entered into the fleet museum alongside other historical ships. But yes that was the general idea and they'd also presumably clean up the site and retrieve Kirk's body. This is of course assuming Picard officially reported his encounter with Kirk in the Nexus. He maybe have chosen to keep that to himself.

* Sort of an actor-based bit of Brilliance, but the rather...''unsettling'' nature of Humorous!Data's laughter might have a lot to do with why Creator/BrentSpiner got the role of ComicBook/TheJoker in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.
