How about the fact that she was fucking Gene Roddenberry back in the 60s?

You apparently haven’t read many of the Trek threads around here… 😉

ST: V is on one of the HBO channels now, so I flipped over to it out of morbid fascination – considering that I haven’t seen it all probably since the first time I ever saw it…

“What does God need with a starship?” **is** a good line.

- The jailbreak line is funny, but the blown up wall looks quite obviously like ripped cardboard.
- The fan dance. Ugh.

I’d probably have to agree with those that say TMP was more boring. Just an episode stretched out with lotsa padding.

I didn’t hate _Nemesis_. I enjoyed it just fine, although I thought the dune buggy scene didn’t really seem to fit or add much. And there was really no explanation why people just suddenly turned up and attacked them. I’m not sure I was too crazy about the B4 angle – when they found the head, I first thought it was going to be Lore, and he would end up put back together… Maybe if they’d developed the B4 bits better.

oops – drat. Meant to post the Nemesis bit in the thread about “Why does everybody hate Nemesis…”

Lost track that I was in a linked thread now… Sorry!
