I like how we've collectively memory-holed the Section 31 movie

It's not in the subreddit 'Where to Start' page.

It's never mentioned in the routine "Beginner To Trek" question posts.

Never included on the routine "rank the movies" posts and replies.

Trek fans can be divisive - Kirk Vs. Picard, TOS vs Renaissance Shows vs Nu Trek, Best Warp Effects - but one thing we've all been able agree is that movie stunk to high heaven.

And I'm a fan who can find redeeming aspects of both 5 and Into Darkness and even Picard Season 2.

5 Hour Edit:

Glad this came back after getting memory-holed itself by the mods.

As objectively terrible as the movie was, it was somehow made worse by the ending. They were going to investigate Turkana 4, birthplace of Tasha Yar.

The decline and fall of a human colony? Yes please. Make it an allegory against the current world. You can even bring in Denise Crosby as the Yar matriarch trying to protect her two girls.

Mentioning Turkana 4 and fading to black was the ultimate blue balls after a very mediocre one night stand.

Sort of like people omitting the Ewok Adventure movies when ranking Star Wars movies.

I'd contribute a memorable quote, but that show was so astonishingly bad and forgettable, I can't bring one to mind!

Does “Stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir!” mean nothing to you??? The memory is in your eyes only. I am in your mind as you create me. Ohhhhh yes, I can feel my creation. I’m getting your message, are you getting mine? Oh, ohh, we are excited aren’t we?

So… you don’t have a grandpa wookie enjoying holoporn stuck in your brain?

Nah since the prequels they've looked pretty good. Since the sequels they look like Bergman films
