I agree with Kip that it was a good idea. I think one of the reasons that I like what they did is because I WANT MOAR STAR TREK MOVIES.
PS. I liked the last star trek TNG movie. It would be difficult to create a sequel to it though. I too believed that first contact was crap… even generations was better.
PPS. I think it’s funny that in Star Trek IV: The voyage home the whale lady states how no whale has ever harmed a human being and that Killer Whale killed his trainer last February http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-02-24-seaworld-whale-death_N.htm
