I enjoy the Star Trek movies, but I don't study and critique them.

I saw it in IMAX 3D last night and was thoroughly pleased. Worth the $30.

Thanks.

Aren't you a bit of a hardcore Trekkie, Donger?

Not really. I've never seen an original episode, although I've seen all the old movies. I've also never watched any of the other TV iterations, except TNG.

Huge TNG nut.

It doesn't suck. It's decent. The third act is just an insult to anyone who loves Star Trek II, though.

Wow, that's strange and impressive you've never seen a TOS episode, especially considering how much you like TNG.

Try it on for size sometime. A lot of that series didn't age well, but there are a few gems to be found in there. Deep Space Nine is very good after the first season, as well.

Thanks for your opinion.

No thanks.

Seasons 4-7 of DS9 are better than TNG.

I don't care.

Well, I do.

The original series has been remastered, and the special effects completely redone. These are available on Netflix for streaming. They couldn't really do much to improve the interior sets and cheesy planet soundstage locations, but the space shots are actually better than Next Generation now.

Honestly, there are only a handful of original episodes I'd watch at this point, but there are some real gems. Three you should absolutely watch are:

Doomsday Machine
City on the Edge of Forever
Balance of Terror

And for the love of god, watch Amok Time.

Par. is a marketing wasteland these days. They can't open a film domestically, meeting expectations, to save their lives. It is really strange.

Maybe they should consider putting out original movies instead of reboots and sequels.
