Well, in an interview I read on this very website with Patrick Stewart, he said that he was satisfied with the ending of TNG. So if he is satisfied with it, than I'm satisfied with it. =)

It's not necessary.
TNG was a fantastic television series, and "...All Good Things" was a fitting finale. I look at the movies (which were, for the most part, mediocre at best) as icing on the cake. Nemesis, while not really well-liked, closed the loop well from a dramatic / storytelling standpoint.
TNG is done. It had a fantastic run and paved the way for Star Trek into the 21st century...but it's DONE.

Ok I have two options. 1) I consider TNG closed with STar Trek Countdown Prequel to Star Trek Xl. I know you might not like that but thats a good story to pass the baton and tell us what happened to the TNG crew.
2) Take the screenplay of the long lost fifth TNG movie where evryone was going to say goodbye and make it into a novel. I would seroiusly do that. That would be a great novel. I would read it. And I only read TOS novels.

I think the deleted ending of nemesis shouldn’t have been deleted, I think it was a better way of ending the movie than ending it after Pcard’s talk with B4. The deleted scene definitely shows the continuing voyages ahead for enterprise. As far as killing off Data, my jaw dropped but they showed that he “lived” in B4’s memory as the captain was leaving the room.

I stand corrected on the "Lost Screenplay" issue:

I whole heartedly disagree. I loved the scene of picard and data sharing a bottle of wine but the cut wesley scene and ending were dumb. The B4 ending concluded the movie with a ray of hope, like showing spock's coffin at the end of TWOK. The cut ending had the new first officer looking like an idiot and the seat belt bit was cheesy and anti climatic. The ending it had was much more dignified and proper for a sign off.

When I read the topic of this thread I immediately thought of "All Good Things..." That's the show's real finale, and I think it was perfectly in tune with everything that came before. It tied in with the premier episode, provided a retrospective of the series (and the future), and ended with the Enterprise flying off into the sunset. I don't think any of the four movies added anything worthwhile -- they were entertaining, but not essential.

To me ending it with the B4 left me wanting, I liked the levity with the idiot 1st officer, and the seat belt is common sense, even though the enter prise has artificial gravity they still get thrown around (at least the excelceor in search for spock had quasi seat belts using the arms of the chairs). It's just my preferance just like that's your's.

Personally, I think TNG would have been better ended by &TNG (and the next generation). The TOS gang stayed way too long at the party, but they somehow managed it better than TNG... for when they got old they were old and tired... of the show... the movies... and it showed.
I met Robert Picardo. I was his driver at the 2008 San Diego Comicon. He was very nice and quite willing to talk about the sci fi business. And we had a wonderful conversation. What I could not get over was how he seemed even younger and more vibrant in person than on TV and he looked great on TV. He was in the Stargate Atlantis role at the time. Still going strong when the rest of the Trek casts were essentially out to pasture. I say most since Jeri and Shat are still out there plying their trade and their art.
Bravo.
But with TNG, frankly, those bad genes that skip generations all seemed to land in their generation (sorry, but that's how it apears).
Look at the link the previous poster posted for yourself.
There is no final frontier in the imagination. Necessity is not necessarily the mother of invention... the imagination is.
