Do they think this will be a 'popular' feature? Is this the best new feature they can add? Why even go down this road. Aren't there enough cameras watching us now, as it is? We're better off not inviting even such a 'benign' one as this so-called new improvement into our homes.
How PC can you get? What is Symantec afraid of? Someone may learn that our country was founded on the right to bear arms in defense of life and liberty; a philosophy continues today. This form of filtering is another form of politically correct sensorship found so often in fascist-controlled countries. Yes, we don't have to buy their product. That's why competition is a wonderful thing.
They are not kidding about waiting too long... Way too long, and it damaged the excitement. Star Trek is first and foremost a television show. It is a serial adventure. This is not like Star Wars, you expect a quick succession of episodes. Also the fact that Next Generation has been off the air for quite a while has, I think diminished some of that excitement and surprise that you expect of any new episode, especially one for the movies. Also the cast is getting older and are still locked into their roles of many years, unchanged. I think these factors and others contributed to the poor turn-out of Nemesis. Then, when you top that with a lackluster script and a main character (Picard's clone) who I found uninteresting, unrealistically motivated and capable of more than I think is possible, like taking over the whole Romulan Star Empire, it's even worse. The script broke no new ground. It absolutely re-hashed old ideas and I thought it pandered to what they thought fans would like and accept. They made a mistake of hiring a screen writer who was too much of a Star Trek fan and a director who was not enough of one. The movie did not advance anything or put a new twist on anything enough to make you want more and come back for another.

Enough Big Brother. They don't need to know where I go. This must be stopped.
Ya know, we could become the biggest Nanny-state in the world. Just how far do the American people want this to continue? I know I have had enough.

All the hype made me wary of the movie in the first place. It seems my suspicions were correct.

Send the thing back and tell 'em to keep it. When enough buyers give some negative feedback on their license scheme, things will change.
