I find it sad that there were more alien aliens in the twelve episodes I saw of the Filmation cartoon series then there were in the entire run of TNG.

I'd say my childhood died in June 2004.

All they need now is the token black guy and Asian comic relief and then they'll be set!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

I did like this movie, but only mildly; it just doesn't resonate with me the way it seems to for most other fans.

Anyway, I feel Montalban did a better job portraying Khan in "Space Seed".

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

I love this movie, but that's due to Christopher Lloyd's performance as Kruge more than anything else. Without him, I'd probably rate it about the same as TWOK.

I don't understand anything you said here.

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

Mini-Picard - a man who hates Romulans so much that, when an attractive Romulan woman makes a pass at him, he tells her he'll have her killed if she ever touches him again - comes to power on the actual throne world of the Romulan empire. So, what does he do with this new-found power? Does he and his Nosferatu buddies begin brutalizing the Romulan populace? Does he take that big, ugly, planet-killing warship of his and use it to destroy Romulus? No. He instead decides to take that big, ugly, planet-killing warship and use it destroy Earth - Earth, a planet he has no reason to destroy, a planet that is part of a government he has shown no reason to hate. And for what? So Brent Spiner could find a way out of his contract or something?

What a retarded movie. At least the Nosferatu aliens were a step up from the usual TNG aliens, though.

I give up, what movie's poster is that a spoof of?

Let me consult the Piri Reis map and the Ica stones and I'll get back to you.

Dignified and stoic, I'd wager.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I'm actually pretty fond of this movie. I love how utterly alien V'Ger is, the undertones about the search for God/meaning, the development of Spock's character, the optimistic ending, and the effects (I have no doubt they'd look best on the big screen).

I can understand the complaints about the overlong flybys/docking sequences as well as the diminished chemistry between the characters relative to that in TOS, but to me they're just minor annoyances that don't make a very big impact on the movie as a whole.

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)

This is the third TNG film I've seen, and I feel the same about it as I've felt about the two entries before it: completely unengaged and indifferent to the story and characters both.

Don't get me wrong - I have come to like the actual TV series (more-or-less) and (many) of the characters as they appear there - but the films themselves do absolutely nothing for me.

Warner's marketing MOS as a Christian allegory is a little weird, since Superman's creators Siegel and Shuster were Jewish.

Who cares about faithfulness to the original source material when you can just knock off the Reeve movie for the nth time?

 

Haven't seen MOS yet. I thought the whole point of this particular reboot was to get away from the other films?

Yeah, give the award to the guy who did the least amount of work.

Not often, to be honest - the last time I watched any of the movies was several months ago.

There are just too many other movies/TV shows that I have to watch/rewatch to bother watching something I've seen a nth amount of times.

So that's means you're the first person in the world to think Shades of Gray was a decent episode?

 

I really enjoyed Shades of Gray.

I usually like those "looking back" filler-episodes.

I've never seen The Chase, but in the original series episode The Paradise Syndrome, a race of "Preservers" are theorized as having seeded the galaxy with humanoids. So this episode may have been referring to the original series.

Personally, I find the idea of making the series finale of one show the pilot episode of another entirely disagreeable - especially considering it was a pilot that was never picked up.

That wasn't the finale of TOS, it was the end of the second season.

They went a bit heavy with the messianic parallels

I'll bet Spidey expected Lil Hulk NOT to live up to his name.

Is this thread currently limited to the male Hulk, or can his shapely female cousin join in the fun as well?

Until recently I thought Who Watches the Watchers? was the worst TNG episode ever made. When I watched The Chase today, however, I realized that wasn't so.

I don't see what's wrong with either of them.

In fact, I can't think of a single bad TNG episode...

Welcome to the antimatter universe's version of nostalgia.
