PNQ: If you could see any ten theatrical movies in a theater again, which ones?


You can ask for Star Wars or animated now.
I don't know, but I saw Close Encounters since then and it was worth it. The detail on the mothership on a big screen . . . mmm.

Think about it for a second. The Sherman's Planet plot was only foiled because the tribbles were there, sheer luck. The Chang plot was only foiled because of Valeris' sloppiness, sheer luck. The E-D's mission was supposed to represent a new era of peace and exploration following the Kllingon treaty, but they still weren't really ready, as Q neatly showed.



Frankly the bluegill stuff should've been returned to after Gene died.
Starfleet is never competent nor is it incompetent. It is precisely as sloppy as it needs to be.
