Yeah, seeing the scene again I guess it is a fairly reasonable assumption on her part. I guess my fuzzy memory was thinking more of the display in the Ent-D where half models are used which gave them a more esoteric look.

I really think they should have had a shot of the Enterprise D falling and breaking. The way it is, you see it spinning, about to fall off, and then the next time you see it it's already fallen and broken.
Given that it has personal significance for Picard - he lost the Enterprise D and that's why he doesn't want to lose the Enterprise E - seeing it break would carry a lot of impact.

If I may add a different thought or idea to the proceedings:
Who else thinks Picard handled that scene with believeability and was NOT that OTT?

Thank you Tiberius. That is what I thought about that secen as well. Any of us would do the same no doubt.
I loved the South Park version of the scene too, which I think actually used Stewart's "Nooooo!" when Randy smashed the cabinet.
I actually liked that scene in the movie. Actually Stewart's performance is one of the few things I liked int the movie. It's entirely believable that Picard would still harbor a deep hatred for what the Borg did and would snap if he was pushed into a corner by them again.
The irony is that it took Lily--someone from the 21st-Century--to show Picard that his 24th-Century sensibility wasn't all that highly evolved: Picard could lash out in anger just as well as she could.
Yeh I agree I like that sequence as well. Stewart really delivers. What do you think about his confronting the Queen in Engineering? I think that too showed how strong he was yet still affected by what the Borg did to him before.
It shows that while you deal with an assault, you still have the shadows.
I think part of Picard's problem was the whole 24th century "We've evolved past such things" mindset. He kept a lot of rage pent up cause it wasn't "right" it wasn't "the 24th century way" and it nearly cost him his ship and crew and all of humanity cause he refused to admit that he was letting his hate and desire to hurt the Borg override the needs of their mission.
That one moment, that one simple snap and him stepping back and seeing what he had become, was one of the top Trek film moments.
Patrick Stewart did some of his finest acting in this film, it's a shame he did not get some awards or nominations, or something along those lines.
Because he is the father of warp drive and she was his assistant.
In the same way that Alexander Graham Bell is credited with inventing the telephone but there is little mention of the person who brought him his morning coffee.
And her image strangely faded out from the photos that were taken in the capsule upon the return to Earth.
Who says she is?
