I was just going to say it has to do with Plotanium, but alurin's explanation is better.

I didn't make the rules, son.
Most nerds I know call it "The Reboot".
Nomenclature, people!
Trek movies go by their subtitle acronyms. Thus, "The Motion
Picture" is TMP, "Wrath of Khan" is TWOK, etc. Every time I see you guys typing "V" I have visions of red-shirted space lizards. It's very disconcerting.
Patrick Stewart could read the phone book and make you laugh or cry if he wanted, but killing his brother etc. was just a writer cheat to set up the fantasy family scene. We didn't need it.
Uhura wasn't the translator, she was the Communications Officer. Not the same thing. She was never shown having a facility with languages, AFAIK.
I hated hated hated what they did to Picard's family in FC. Or was that Generations? Well, hated it anyway. And given what Picard has been through, you could easily argue dang near any character aberration on his part.
Fark you. Aliens rocked. Alien^3, now…
This is one of those movies where, even at the time, I knew it was bad, but really didn't care. I've always had a soft spot for stories where there was a supernatural vibe.
My regret
Is that I don't know enough about Kinky to comment much about him, but I do know enough to know he's a guy that deserves a long comment thread. So here's to you, Jewboy.
The Apostle was a dang good movie, but Fawcett was just along for the ride in that one.
It ain't free, but if you just want to watch them, as opposed to keep them, Netflix seems to be the way to go here.
I mean it!
Together?
Probably worth a letter grade all by itself.
Jake was probably the best-written kid we ever saw in any incarnation of ST. Low bar, I know, but still.
I love me some Zelazny, and LoL is just about my favorite book, but his protagonists tended to be cut from rather similar molds.
I'm willing to bet the Japanese have whole series of movies already devoted to this. No, I'm not going to look.
Only Poseidon was consistently portrayed as a non-douche. Well, him and Apollo. And Poseidon being Percy's dad and all, I'm not sure he should count.
You're thinking Scylla and Charybdis.
