As kids??....Some of us closet geeks are still "keeping it real" :) You should see the almost epileptic fits my better half throw when she realizes that I've flipped the TV over to a ST episode. Sometimes I do it out of sheer evil and say one of the character's lines before the character does while she's watching. It drives her nuts and amuses me to no end. I'm a bad, bad man. :)

The writer missed the ideology factor of the current anti-war crowd. They are anti-Bush and pro-Saddam. Saddam is a Stalinist/marxist and so are they. Same is true for Nam - only in that anti-war movement they even opposed a democrat, albeit a southern populist one.

If Saddam were a "right-wing" elected President using martial law to fight a marxist/rebel insurgency in his country they would be all for taking him out, i.e. Nicaragua, Bosnia, Serbia, etc.

But if the Enterprise vanished because it had never existed... how did Kirk end up on the planet?

You aren't supposed to ask that. There was a Stainless Steel Rat book with the same premise.

[altair]

Remember the episode where the Nazis are back in power?

Yeah, but I forget the name. Die Zayon pig!

How about the one with the mob bosses running things?

A Piece of the Action. That was a good one. I loved the version of poker they played.

He's dead Jim.

You grab his tricorder, I'll grab his wallet.

That movie wasn't for you. It catered to the hard core trekkies. My favorite scene was the one the reviewers didn't understand, it was that wonderfully long sequence as they slowly approach the Enterprise in a shuttle.

Amen to that. TMP actually nudges out TWOK for my favorite Trek film. I also had the pleasure to meet its director, none other than the legendary Robert Wise (who also directed "West Side Story" and "The Sound of Music"). Having seen the previews for the upcoming Trek film, it looks like they continue to move away from what the original series was supposed to embody, and it looks to be more like a sequel to "Hellraiser" complete with a fella that looks like "Pinhead" minus the pins. *Sigh*
