We got in this afternoon. Stayed in Richfield, UT, which is a nice halfway point if one is taking the most direct route, up I-15 from SoCal, then I-70 to Denver.
Meanwhile, Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie, bar none. We should watch it again over this holiday period.
“Meanwhile, Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie, bar none.”
Mega Ditto.
Happy Thanksgiving, Rand.
That is a great movie, but I put it third behind Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home
You are correct sir.
By Grabthar’s hammer, it truly is the best Trek movie.
Nope. It’s in the Top 5, to be certain, but the #1 Star Trek film is ‘Master and Commander.’
Watched the “Hornblower” series on TV quite a while ago. After a few episodes I figured it was Star Trek with sailboats and the French were the Klingons.
Little did I know that Gene Roddenberry had modeled Star Trek on Hornblower, at least in part. Forbidden Planet also has Star Trek DNA.
Forbidden Planet is based on “The Tempest” with Robbie as Caliban. It also has the finniest scene in SF movies, where we find out IQ == dick length.
Isn’t just about every other TOS episode pretty much The Tempest, with the most Tempest-ie of them all being Requiem for Methusaleh?
Star Trek as originally sold by Roddenberry to the networks didn’t quite live up to the promise of it’s predecessor series. I always wondered what it’d be like to have a fleet of Starships set out to expand humans to Strange New Worlds and not just hop around Navy style.

These stories are probably the best Star Trek stories…
