[QUOTE="Orius, post: 9240194, member: 8863"] Everyone knows that -- Chekov was in the bathroom, Khan had to wait forever for him to finish, and on top of it, Chekov used up all the toilet paper! Khan's FAR too petty to let that pass. My rankings: II: Still the best Trek movie ever made. III: Gets this spot because none of the other films deserve it. Not a great film, but better than people give it credit for. Plus the rest of the crew get used decently well here, particularly Sulu's "Don't call me Tiny" scene or Uhura's scene with "Mr. Adventure". I also like Scotty and Sulu arguing over the Excelsior when Sulu is pretty impressed with it while Scotty is old, cranky and grouchy about it because he's even [B]more [/B]possessive of the Enterprise than Kirk is. IV: It's an okay movie, but the whole save the whales plot is so '80s. Also, sending Chekov out to locate a nuclear submarine wasn't the best of moves either. TMP: Yes it was rushed, badly needed editing and feels very bloated, but it's still closer to what Trek is than the [I]really [/I]bad films in the franchise. VI: It's popular and a lot of people like it, but I never cared for it much. There's too much of it that feels off, somehow. Uhura doesn't speak Klingon? (and those big dictionaries just make the scene worse.) And I have a hard time believing Klingons would like [I]Hamlet; [/I]they'd probably think he's an indecisive wuss. Klingons really like their revenge*. V: Yeah, it has to go here. It's still better than any TNG film not named First Contact or the Abrams-verse Dreck...err I mean Trek. Maybe Star Trek Beyond [I]might [/I]tie it. *This is how the Klingon [I]Hamlet [/I]would really go: Act 2, Scene 1 Hamlet bursts into Cladius' throne room the next morning wielding his father's bat'leth. Hamlet: You killed my father, prepare to die! Hamlet slays Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius, and probably Laertes. Possibly those idiots Rosencrantz and Guildenstern too if they get in the way. Act 2, Scene 2 Hamlet is crowned King of Denmark and takes Ophelia to be his queen. Act 3 Hamlet goes to war against Fortinbras, utterly kicks his ass and forges a powerful Danish empire.
