But english is only my second language, so if get grammar like this wrong, I am going to use that as an excuse.

I am glad you think I always speak truth.

I think that with a world like this, an idea like hell is pretty redundant. As is heaven for that matter. We’ve got everything here, and it’s not a 50/50 ratio.

But I’m sure the “if he was alive” was implied in your criticism.

But as always Henrik, you speak the truth. I did blasphemy Roddenberry’s beliefs.

I don’t believe in heaven myself (but I do believe in hell), so I guess I was making a general comment for those who do believe. I think Tasha Yar stated Roddenberry’s belief in her holographic eulogy when she said that “we live on in the memories of others.”

Smiling down from where Reed? I’m not entirely sure he would appreciate your allusion to mysticism.

The only dialog that was amusing to me was when Kirk had to keep telling Spock to sit down and relax. That’s pretty low for a high point.

Anyway, I’m sure the Great Bird of the Galaxy is smiling down on you for appreciating his movie.

Just like Star Wars, I think the first one is always my favorite because it’s the first time I met those characters. Of course I knew the Star Trek crew from tv, but it was the first time I got to see them on the big screen. Wrath of Khan, which is everyone’s favorite, always makes me think of Fantasy Island.
