That actually turned out to be a pretty good movie and it was quite funny. There was also a similar-themed movie about skiers called "Hot Dog." Did you see that one too?

When I was, I dunno, 12 or 13, my friend David and I told my parents we were staying up until 1 am to watch "Wrath of Khan." It was a clever misdirection: we actually watched "Hardbodies." I've still never seen "Wrath of Khan," but I feel well-disposed toward it nonetheless.

Everyone raise your hand if you knew it was a Doobie Bros. reference even though I didn't mention it in the sig.

It requires processing.
Nah, it's a good movie. But TNG is what I always thought "Star Trek" is. The classic cast somehow doesn't seem very "Star Trek" to me. Blasphemy, I know.

I absolutely agree with you on this point. I came to an opinion, years ago, that WoK was a great piece of fiction, not just science fiction. You could have done the ending with sailing ships and a large explosive or military aircraft carriers and one carrying a nuclear weapon and the story would have been just as compelling.

I'll admit, I'm having trouble processing some of the opinions expressed in this thread.

It was, in my mind, a constant. Sure, everyone understands that Wrath of Khan is the best Star Trek movie, and in fact, one of the great science fiction movies of all time, now what else would you like to discuss?

But now, this is all shaken.

Processing.

It's not real Star Trek without Picard and Data having a discussion about a philosophical matter for 30 minutes.

Can we agree that of anything involving a spaceship that can shoot, it is the best of its breed?

Can we agree on that?

It was just OK. It wasn't life changing or anything, like that whale episode was, it was just OK. I knew they weren't gonna let Spock die. Cliffhanger tactics don't sit well with me, especially with a three year wait for the next installment. Spock is too big a character to just kill off. Look at the Pear Blossom parade back in 1967. Nobody but nobody is gonna kack a grand marshall from the Oregon pear blossom parade.

Wait what

You mean you thought the big-screen presentation didn't terribly enhance the experience, or are you saying Wrath of Khan was an "OK/meh" movie?

I thought it was OK/ meh. Stoo bad, cause I like me some Star Trek.

I never considered any of the things you mentioned to be boring or cheesy. They were always awesome, even on a 24-inch tube TV in 1989.
