Did you see the last Trek movie? It really can't get much worse than "Beastie Boys Save the Galaxy".

It may have been crap.
But it's not like Star Trek has such a long list of good films.
Hell, the last TNG movie, Nemesis, is probably still the worst of them all.

DS9 was the the only Star Trek worth watching. Which why you cannot find the reruns on TV.

Unfortunately I did.

Then wondered why I hadn't shut it off halfway through.   #:-)

We were trying to spare you from going mad from the revelation.  (It's already too late for most of us.) 


And Tpek is right:  Nemesis was utter crap.  I'd still watch it over the films from the Jar-Jar-verse, though.

Honestly, I prefer the Sandwich trilogy of Star Wars to Nemesis.

Never thought Tarantino was a great director, someone more along the lines of Sam Peckinpaugh. 

It could be good, if there is a real story line.  If it is just an excuse for a bank robbery in space, like in The Wild Bunch, that's not what I go to Star Trek to see.
However, an intelligent piece of combat can be good, and would be a breath of fresh air.  The recent movies have relied too much on computer graphics and fast pacing to represent combat.
The "Balance of Terror" episode was good because it was based on a great movie, which was based on a superlative novel.
The changes from the novel were unimportant because the story was so good.

Now something based on the surface combat in the Solomons around Guadalcanal could be good source material.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.
