Ultimate Trek Movie Moment

Spock's death. None of the top TNG movie moments hold up to the iconic TOS movie moments. Since TUC, there's not one film that stands out to me.

It might be because my hatred for TOS clouds my judgement but I give all TOS movies either a "borign as hell" to "kinda watchable".

Wait for it, I'm sure any VOY or ENT movie would be worse.

Their tendency pretty much since TNG has been to cram action and combat and impossible situations into all the plotlines, which I agree is overdone. But ST: TMP? The whole first half of it is like a documentary about migratory birds.

Yeah, it wasn't great but I can watch that it no problem. If I any TNG movie besides FC, I turn it off in disgust. Actually I'm pretty sure that TMP was done that way deliberatly, partially because Roddenberry wanted to distance Trek from the series and because he wasn't happy with Kirk. The opening of the novelisation basically confirms this.

Actually, you're wrong, Dusk - I find some of those documentaries mildly interesting.

Anyhoo, Spock's death. Both for the pathos it embodied and the "humanity" of Spock's sacrifice - much to his protestation - as well as for the fact that despite the fact that I know what happened in III and IV, it still doesn't cheapen the scene.

Yeah, I still choke up whenever I see the scene. Kirk's eulogy was perfect, as well. "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human"

Spocks death for me. Although the Nemesis ramming was close.

my father tells me to write down he votes for the Saving the whales....

ST IV was awesome, no doubt about that.

First contact is great. Insurection is watchable. Generations was very "meh" I kinda liked Nemesis.

A DS9 movie is almost impossible. Sisko is away and the station is at peace.

Voyager movie... what? The Doctor trying to find his own life? Seven trying to fit in to Earth society? A nice little after school special.

A ENT movie could be epic if Manny Coto does the Romulan war.

That would be great.

Unless B&B got a little too um... wierd.

B&B thankfully seem to have very little to do with trek nowadays.

Maybe the people in charge realised that they had driven it into the ground.

We can but hope.

I agree....B & B may as well have stood for bed and breakfast where those two where concerned.
