Star Trek had sub-par episodes, and great episodes, just like DS.
Original Star Trek doesn't get respect either. I've even heard the same old DS-ish "camp" dismissal used against it. We've got an increasingly superficial society in which surface polish is valued more than human drama and substance.
To retzev, who was nice enough to ask my opinion on the new film in a PM-- I can receive PMs here, but not send them, for whatever reason. I'd like to say this to Taeylor, too....
retzev-- I can't get to the theater to see it yet. Thanks for asking.
