Well, not on our real-world timeline, but it happened on Star Trek timeline. Who said otherwise?As for the even-numbered Trek films are better than the odd-numbered ones, it started with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, then it was followed by Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home which has the best box office record of all Trek film to date (it was an environmentally-minded film, that opened when caring for the environment was the focus of our society, doing Earth Day and whatnot), then Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (the second of two Nicholas Meyer films, the first being TWOK ... a sociopolitically themed movie that mirrors the end of US-Soviet superpower rivalry). All of these three films have either a good story to tell or it catered to the audience of that time.After VI, new people took over the franchise and pretty much messing with the pattern. It was a fluke that First Contact (the eight Trek film) did well in the box office, despite criticisms (many fans cannot ignore the characterization and casting of Earth's Father of Warp Drive, Zephram Cochrane). The tenth Trek film, NEMESIS, pretty much broke the pattern.</blockquote>
