- I agree on that one robert! When the movie came into the video store a
- long time ago, I read the back and thought it had some pretty good po-
- tential as a sci-fi flick. As a trekker, I was interested to see Walter
- Koenig in a new role.
-
- But I was poorly disappointed. The thing that still stands out in my
- mind is how Koenig's script had him swearing quite often, but when the
- words came out of his mouth, it just wasn't appropriate/believable.
-
- Let's just be thankful they never made a sequel! *shudder*
