Smith Thank you for telling me that I probably don't like STAR TREK. Now I can stop buying the novels, watching the re-runs, considering dropping $40 each for Beta Hi-Fi copies of the first two movies and $1600 for the complete set of tv epi- sodes when Paramount starts the Trek-of-the-Month Club. Boy, is *that* a relief! Just because I don't call myself a Trekkie, or Trekker, or whatever you want to call yourself, just because I don't buy TREK fanzines or go to TREK conventions, and just because I don't believe that every single minute of TREK video is pure gold doesn't mean that I don't like STAR TREK. Are your opinions engraved in stone tablets so that anyone who doesn't agree with you "probably doesn't like STAR TREK in the first place"? Blow it out your ear! I *wanted* to like THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, a lot! I was looking forward to that movie more than anything else this year. I didn't *dislike* it, but I was disap- pointed, and if that doesn't suit you, tough! And by the way, I *have* discussed my disappointmennt with the movie in net.- startrek (in fact, my review and its followup went to sf-lovers, startrek, and movies), and they haven't "roasted" me. Unlike you, they are willing to accept differences of opinion. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
