Restoring what made Star Trek great

[F. King Daniel]

Star Trek always made their storylines in line with major happenings in the world. With all the terrorism and religious persecution and even North Korea wanting to do something to us for making a movie about him, etc, there is ample ammunition for great storylines in Trek. Seems to me that is how to restore it back to greatness. I liked the new films but something is lacking when compared to the TOS movies - just my .02 that means nothing in the entire scheme of things.

If by "always" you mean about 5% of the time, you'd be exactly right.

You mean you don't remember the Borg invasion of Spring and Fall 1990? Where were you at man?!?

This thread gave Troi a migraine.

That is a terrible illustration. It looks more like Julia-Louis Dreyfus than anyone close to Marina Sirtis.

Two for the price of one.

"people who have such little respect for the movies and the rest of the people in the audience, they belong at the gathering of the Juggalos instead of in a movie house."

A very nice review, and one I happen to agree with, although he skips over how DS9 did a nice job of mixing in some power "message" episodes.

STID was good as long as you leave your brain at the door.

Will should look around for his.
