Re: Favorite Star Trek episode
Atrocities, I may have to disagree on your assessments on some of the movies. Granted, the first one wasn't the best movie ever made, but at the time it came out, 1979, it was the first new Star Trek for a generation who never saw it live and had to settle for the various edited cuts that were released in sydication. So I went and saw it 5 times. And I had to wait an extra 6 months to see it, because of the way movies were distributed back then, the movie didn't come to my home town until Memorial Day 1980!!
ST 2 - I think by far the best of the movies. I just wished that in the movie they had made a reference to that boy Scotty was holding in his arms. It was his nephew, but we were never told that in the movie.
ST 3 - Although not great, it was good. I just wish the trailers didn't reveal that the Enterprise was going to be destroyed. They should have kept that as much a secret as possible.
ST 4 - I liked it. Although it did seem like an overlong commerical for Save the Whales, it had its moments.
ST 5 - I agree with you on your asseessment of Shatner's directorial debut. It sucked, and it will be the only ST movie I will not buy on dvd.
ST 6 - a murder mystery in space. But it was still a good movie.
ST-Gen - My jury is still out on this movie. It's ok, but maybe it was the way they killed off Kirk that made me not like it. (Personally, I always thought he'd get killed off by a jealous lover of one of his female conquests!!)
ST-FC - This is another one I disagree with you on. I loved this movie, and it's my second favorite after Wrath of Kahn. I just wish they could have used the original actor for Cochrane, but I think he died quite a few years ago.
ST-I - It was ok, but it could have been better. Seemed like an overlong episode from the series, but at least Troy & Riker got back together.
ST-N - Too many questions about this movie that made me not enjoy it. First of all, WEsley was a Traveller Last we saw, so why is he there in uniform? How did the Romulans find a imperfect copy of Data? And why kill off Data? Sure, Brent Spiner may have been tired of the role, but if this was going to be the Last film of this crew, I thought it was unnecessary.
