Hmm. You raise a good point. ST1 was disappointing after such a break from
TOS/Animated. I'd agree, if STII flopped, that would be it. No question STII
was decent but I really thought the pinnacle was STVI. 

Interesting when you look at II, III and IV.. essentially a trilogy of sorts.

It's not bad.. slightly different take on trek. Although I enjoyed watching
it, to me, seemed like just a scifi movie and not the trek I wanted.. and I'm
still trying to figure out why. I think a big portion of that is how new and
modern things look... after many years of trek. In all fairness TOS fans prob
felt that way with TNG.
