(how about the communicators, and the bridge "beeping" noises?? Right smack out of the series!!! That's probably to the credit of Nimoy..) Anyway, I knew there had to be someone else out there who liked ST:TMP besides me, I must admit when I saw it the first time I was simply awestruck...I really thought it was great, but then I felt guilty for liking it when all the critics said it was so awful...(the critics didn't like 2001 when it came out, either) Has anyone seen the "special extended version" of ST:TMP?? I got the tape of it, and it really improves the picture...(characters and continuity...all that) Oh, well, I've responded enough... David "Up Your Shaft" Whitney !ctvax!uokvax!uok!dwhitney
