She said it to Jim on the Guardian's planet when her whole universe disappeared, also. While I get the complaint that that it was "the woman" that said she was frightened, she had damn good reason and stated in a clear and even tone. To me it was portrayed as an honest sense of what just happened rather than any type of "hysterical woman" nonsense. I think Checkov was frightened once, too, he reacted much more hysterically.
I'd settle for just some more animated stories. Season 4 would have been cool. I'm one of the people that really didn't have a problem with season 3, so it wouldn't have been a big problem for me. I'd also have liked TMP to be the pilot or start off feature of a Phase II television series instead of just getting Wrath of Khan and 4 more movies. I think Star Trek is lends itself to episodic format much better than the "all or nothing" nature of a lot of movies. You can get away with an episode that's too cerebral or not very much happens, a movie like that is a bomb. But constantly having it be the end of civilization as we know it for each movie makes it trite and removes the very thing they are trying to make, the dramatic tension and "seriousness" is turned into a cliche. So to sum it up for me, not so many movies, more shows with the orginal crew, maybe even a handoff to a new crew in time, have the transistion to the new crew be gradual. A random idea, have Picard start out on Phase II as a newly transferred XO for a season or two and then transition to him being on his new ship.
While I can't stand the rollerskating and disco dancing in Buck Rogers, I loved everything else, (mostly). It was a nice little show, and I thought the second season, while not as "fun" really was a better Star Trek show than some of the "official star trek" we got latter in the 90s. And while Hawk seemed to lose his individuality, I got a real "Jim and Spock" vibe from them, Buck could nod or move his eyes a certain way and Hawk would know the whole plan, and he was Buck right hand in a way I haven't seen much. I thought it was cool, but then maybe I was just wanting to see something that wasn't there. Mark Lenard and Paul Carr also made it feel a little more "Star Trek". But what GR would have done, it's hard to say.
