Any baddie capable of being hit by you, in a river or bog or lake, with a ppsh, is going to have an exponentially easier time shooting you than visa versa.
One thing that will definitely not work for most people here is the emulsification. It can’t be done reliably in a regular blender with a regular blending vessel.
Emulsification needs a space constraint by volume to ensure the cycling of ingredients to quickly bind and stabilize. A wide mouth jar and immersion blender will be a much better choice for this volume. You also need to make sure that when you start blending anything for emulsion, the solids need to be settled to the bottom of the vessel before blending, so slowly adding oil is somewhat unreliable as well. Add your solids, slowly pour your liquids in order on top (oil before water for example), THEN blend as fast as possible.
The order when this happens is: proteins > heavy liquids and solids mix > medium liquids bind > light liquids bind as far as ingredients go. As long as you have a setup where this is ensured, it’s almost guaranteed to work every time.
Adding anything individually will not reliably work, and will make a “loose” emulsification as you mentioned.

I feel like that’s the Trek films in a nutshell - from a critic’s standpoint, they’re not necessarily all great, but they almost feel like long Star Trek episodes that you enjoy anyway.
Here’s my thoughts on each film:
Generations: Honestly, I think pretty good with a solid overall plot. I loved Data’s arc - I feel like they did a great job not taking the comic relief too far. The fight scene was delightfully campy, and the “Time is a predator” stuff is so memorable to me.
First Contact: I think it was a fun film. It’s almost the Wrath of Khan of the TNG films - a lot more action, with some Trek - which is probably why it’s considered the best. Personally, I prefer Generations, but this is still a good watch.
Insurrection: There were a lot of fun moments, but the overall plot wasn’t that great - Picard’s new love interest that we never hear about again, the weird theme about “being in the moment” that I feel didn’t integrate into the plot all that well, etc.
Nemesis: I think Nemesis had a lot of great things that didn’t quite land at the end. I think Shinzon did a great acting job, but could have been written better. They made him more irrational than I think he should have been, and the whole plot with “blowing up the earth” and “conquering the galaxy” felt way out of line for someone who is the product of and survived imperialism. As for B4, I feel they didn’t address the ethical concerns of throwing Data’s mind in him. At the end, blowing up Data didn’t help, but if the rest of the movie had been written better, I might have been fine with this choice, Chances are, whether through B4 or a Search for Spock-esque plot, we would have gotten another film where we got Data back.
