Actually it’s a long mocked SF landmark. The simple fact of the matter is that most Trek is crap. Half of TOS is just dumb, the first 4 seasons of TNG are crap, DS9 is probably the most consistent Trek ever and even it has plenty of clunkers, V is complete junk, ENT started off OK but went bad fast, truth be told the only of the original 10 movies that any good at all is Kahn. The fact that you think THAT track record is something that should be hallowed ground shows you don’t know crap when you see it, because you’ve seen plenty of it and are griping that somebody actually found a way to make that universe entertaining.
You’re whining, Stu.
Star Trek 4 was fun no? Save the Whales!
