This is a really late reply (12 years!) to the original thread, but I’ve been slowly getting back into Trek. I prefer TOS, and most of the movies…ST V is still the one I have issues with. It is interesting in reading about the BTS stuff on the movie, and how it almost killed the Trek universe. I guess it was an interesting topic to do, but maybe a better script could of done wonders. Plus, maybe a better director could of helped too. Even with all of that, I’m interested in revisiting the film.

I do enjoy the director’s cut of TMP. It really helps with making the film a lot more interesting, and though I don’t like special editions adding new touch ups to films (I’m looking at you George!), the new SFX do help.

I was 6 or so when ‘Wrath of Khan’ was released, so I probably saw it on the old ‘Super TV’ service (an alternative to cable in the MD/DC/VA areas), It seemed to resonate well with kids & adults alike. Soon after, I would catch onld reruns whenever available. The launch of TNG seemed to help gain access to reruns of TOS. I had a love/hate relationship with TNG: I either loved or hated it. I probably stopped watching after season 3 or 4.

I remember enjoying the movie ‘Generations’, and remember all of the booing st Shatner’s name in the end credits. I thought everyone loved the Shat! Then I later learned abput all of the earlier Trek drama, thanks to AOL chatrooms & such.

I need to catch up on the JJ Abram movies too…I did see the first one. My biggest issue was retreading older plots & throwback ideas into it. My same issue with ‘SW Ep VII’.

It’s sad that two of the few remaining original cast members are still at each other’s throats. I know that Shatner’s current wife has been attempting to get the hubby to end it, but doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen.
