Or, "The Man from Earth"... and, well, I don't recall anything else
recent at the moment. LOL. I'm sure there are others though, there must be.

Maybe Generation, but I disagree on First Contact. Unless you are saying
that FC was a ST:TOS movie, in that case I sort of agree. The
kirkization of Picard in FC was complete(d).

Insurrection and Nemesis don't exist. I had them removed from my memory.
They are god awful things of evil. :P

I still have nightmares of the inflatable Data and of the Enterprise
driven with a joystick...  and that is disconcerting because having them
removed from my memory I don't know where those idiotic ideas come from.
LOL.
