I agree with you about Excelsior to an extent, I believe a great deal of the
fire the Excelsior is getting is more or less reaction to the death of our
(yes, our) Enterprise...I really don't think anything can quite take the place
of the NCC-1701......Anyway, the Excelsior is so-so in my humble opinion, 
but the bridge very strongly resembles the ORIGINAL bridge of the Enterprise--
has anyone else noticed that??? (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...
