I remember seeing it in the theaters with my mom’s boyfriend at the time, who was kind of an art/sci-fi mentor, and I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. It was the first ST movie I got to see on the silver screen, which still really meant something back then. Now I see it with slightly jaded eyes, but I can still see a shadow of the vision that somehow just never chanced to be. I must say, the book was pretty damn good, and was much closer to the ideal I though I was seeing as a kid back in ‘89. I really like the plot, and I think if Nicholas Meyer or Leonard Nimoy had directed it, it would’ve been a hit. The effects didn’t have to be that bad– they were just overused in order to prop up a screenplay that wasn’t being solidly executed.

Worst movie was JJTrek not Trek V.

V was actually about something and had a message. XI Had zero message or was just plain empty action flick with eye candy.

I understand your pain, I’ve had many people close to me pass away……………an old friend, from Britain, once put it in perspective for me when he quietly, and reassuringly, whispered, “you didn’t really expect to get through this life without shedding a few tears, did you?”

At the time I understood he meant it in the best possible way…………………

In it’s own way, life IS a tapestry that unfolds the way it must.

As Picard would observe, “c’est la vie!”

#352 In my rambling way (sorry!) I don’t think I made clear that I carry no pain because of choices that I made. I can live with those.
My pain is entirely due to bereavement. I wish I could undo the losses that have happened in my life.
That being said I guess even those terrible events shape you, but the price seems horribly high.

Do please listen to that song i’ve linked to. Nice song and the video is quirky.

#331 Absolutely!

#343 What if the possibility of undoing some point in your life led to unraveling something that is good in your life right now. Ex: A child that is never born? A relationship that never comes together? We’re defined by all of it, good and bad.

#345 Sorry Harry. I’m told that if you slingshot counterclockwise around the sun you might get your 5 minutes back…..

#349 I rooted for Potter in the SNL skit….it was a classic.

337#341 Star Trek III, Spock ” you came back for me”

Kirk ” you’d have done the same for me”

That’s why Generations failed for me!

Loved V, that why we went to Yosmite in 91 :-)

Was I the only guy, when watching that movie, who rooted for Potter?
