   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.   
      
   --    
   I'll be seeing you,   
      
   - "We don't need no education..."   
   - Yes, you do. You've just used a double negative!
