Re: Star Trek VI

Oh, V. Let's not. Too rushed. They didn't make enough of a passionate Vulcan. SFX were terrible, so obviously CGI. The only thing at the centre of our galaxy is (we think) a supermassive black hole.

The first has, a little unfairly, been called The (Slow) Motion Picture. The Director's Cut is an improvement. II was good (though I do think that something as dangerous as Genesis would be more strictly controlled by Starfleet). III had its points. IV was pure fun. Generations, Insurrection, Nemesis - all had their points. First Contact - brilliant except for shooting itself in the foot re the Borg Queen.
Marina was terrific comic relief. "This is no time to argue about time! We don't! Have! The time!" (pause) "What was I saying?"
Data played the Borg Queen like his favourite violin. Classic strategy - pretend to go along with the baddie. Even I was convinced - until the torpedoes missed the Phoenix. If he weren't virtually certain to fail the Bridge Officer's Test, I'd say he should be promoted.
Of course he would. He would logically deduce the true purpose of the Test - to determine whether or not the candidate has the moxie to sacrifice a crewman, like the submarine captains in WWII - and refuse to do any such thing. With his engineering knowledge he would analyse all possible solutions...and realise that the only viable one was to sacrifice a crewman. Of course he would fail it.
