For someone who considers this the best of the TNG movies, if not the best 
Trek movie ever (as I've read in countless articles), he's incredibly sedate 
on the commentary track.  He offers nothing interesting, except maybe that 
he doesn't like the title font, and Stuart Baird did and won the argument. 
That's probably the most tantalizing nugget in the piece.  He has so little 
to say, it's curious when you wonder whose idea it was for him to *do* a 
commentary, Paramount's, or his.  If it was his, WHY, since he sounds so 
bored.  There isn't a single reference to the negative fan reaction to the 
film, just a tidbit about Data's death where he pins it on Brent Spiner.

But the most disturbing part of the commentary is this:  He compliments 
Jerry Goldsmith's score, then laments that the composer died a couple of 
months after the film's release.  Huh?!  Goldsmith died in 2004, a little 
over a year and a half after the film was released.  He doesn't even 
remember the passing of a great composer who scored THREE OF HIS MOVIES!!!
