Of all the Star Treks to watch for kicks, you picked V? I'd have no complaints if it and Start Trek I ceased to exist.
Honestly, I think in a single act I nearly destroyed my youngest son's interest in the series by having him watch the first one with me. I haven't seen those movies in years, but it really reminded me how big Star Trek was back then to be able make such bold assumptions of the audience on so many levels.
You know though, all this talk - I think I'm going to dig up another and watch it tonight. There's actually a couple I still haven't seen.
