star trek poll

When I watched Free Enterprise with Rand on the weekend, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The plot and premise sounded and were somewhat lame. Acting was so-so. Many of the jokes fell flat. What I enjoyed the most: all the sf references, casually slipped into dialogue and action, from movies and shows like Logan's Run to Star Wars to Planet of the Apes and of course...Star Trek. There's a scene, for example, with the characters spontaneously burst into a few lines of that song from "The Way To Eden" (the hippie episode from Classic Trek, remember?). I recognized it immediately, and wondered how many references I -wasn't- getting. One of the reasons I have to get the DVD is that apparently there's a special feature where you can see subtitles throughout pointing out the various references and where they come from...how cool is that?? (Lyanne: is this true? You said you had just received the DVD as a gift?)

Ja, I'm a bit of a nerdgeekgirl.

I suspect that whether or not you like this movie will depend heavily on your own experiences with the sf genre in media, especially Classic Star Trek.

Speaking of Classic Star Trek, here's a poll for those of you who like it (and a Star Trek episode index in case you can't quite remember certain episodes):

What was your favorite Classic Star Trek episode and why?

What was your least favorite and why?
