That article reads like a fan who just saw The Phantom Menace on opening night
Yes, but David Gerrold actually wrote scripts for TOS. Easy to forget the mixed reception TMP actually got at the time.
Unlike TPM, most fans didn't want to come right out and badmouth the film. (At least not to the press camped out to get reactions.) We had waited so long for Trek to live again.
