"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" was highly entertaining.
They haven’t made a good Star Trek movie yet. That includes Khan which was a little better than most.
I watched an episode last night, “The Menagerie” which was remarkable considering they rehashed it from the original pilot.
All true. The Menageri was way advanced for the time. It had to have been around 1965.
Come on, now - Star Trek II was the greatest-ever cinematic clash of ham vs. ham! I still watch that one when it comes on. As for the rest, each has its moments (and some which would best be discarded). To illustrate that, they guy behind the "New Voyages" fan films did a re-cut of Star Trek V (called "In Thy Image") and pared it down to around 60 minutes with Original Series style "act" breaks. He turned one of the worst films into his vision of what the proposed 1970s "Star Trek - Phase II" pilot would've looked like. It's much improved.

No argument there, it's some of the best work ever done by the franchise. Excellent use of the old pilot for flashback scenes. It's the first episode I can recall seeing on TV when I was young - my mother was aghast at the "Stop this illusion or I'll twist your head off!" scene. I thought the scene was great. Years later, I came to appreciate the episode more for Susan Oliver's character. :-)
