Does TT have a problem with Star Trek IV? He has a problem with Star Trek, not just film 4. OK. Film 4 is my favourite - nice goofy plot, and I can track the course of relations between Russia and the west by how funny a man with a thick Russian accent asking where the nuclear vessels are is. |

The intro of music in this film reminds me of the intro of colour in Wizard of Oz.

Incidentally, the ideas for the story came partly from Jerome Bixby, who wrote some great SF back in the day. I think I spent a lot of my childhood reading SF, mostly in secret, since my parents were suspicious of anything even approaching SF. My mum let us read what we liked. Trusted us, I suppose. We were also allowed to read what we liked. I am very grateful to my mother for this - so many of my friends seem to have been forbidden this or that. |

Fifteen knots?? Surely knot! A knot works out at about half a metre a second! Hopefully they scaled down the speeds as well!

I'd just like to say that the military of the cmdf could never where their uniform in public, it being a top secret organisation and cmdf being writ large upon their breast.
