No matter how bad they try to tarnish the name I can still go back and enjoy the original trilogy (and even Episodes 2 and 3). I wasn’t into Star Trek until I met one of my (now) ex-girlfriends. She and her father would watch together, and she cried at the end of Nemesis when Data was killed. Needless to say I wasn’t that emotionally invested in either sci-fi series. (more…)
