ladybug_archive[Error: unknown template qotd]Star Wars. I was enchanted by the characters and their adventures from age 5. I grew up with Dad watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and I liked it okay, but I didn't really get into it like I did Star Wars. And I've honestly never seen any of Star Trek: The Original Series beyond a couple of episodes and the first six movies. I liked some of the movies (you can go through my Star Trek tag to find out what I said about them), but not all. However, my likes and dislikes are not the likes and dislikes of the general Star Trek movie fandom. I.E., I didn't care much for the fan favorite whale movie, for one thing. To me, it just wasn't as deep as some of the others. I don't know; maybe I'd like it more if I'd seen more of the original series. I hear that the whale movie is closest to what the television series was than the other movies were. I didn't really like movie 6, either. I didn't like seeing main characters arrested for stuff they didn't do, and the ending kind of bummed me out.
What I hear is that fans tend to like 2, 4, and 6 and not 1, 3, and 5. I like 2, and I liked 3 when I saw it, but I think I might find it harder to swallow now. I greatly enjoyed 1 and I appreciated the depth of 5.
I'm happy that they didn't let Spock stay dead; of course, me being the queen of reviving dead characters, I would feel that way. However, I didn't particularly like how they brought him back (having to grow up again; why couldn't he have just revived at his current age, but without his memories, etc.?) or that he never really seemed the same in any of the succeeding movies after they brought him back. It seemed like he wasn't really "all there" (he seemed very far-removed/distant in some scenes), he wasn't as serious, and he randomly swore more after that. Sigh.
