Star Trek II should have been a direct sequel to TMP

I have a lot of enthusiasm for Star Treks II, III, and IV. TMP, to me, is a guilty pleasure. There are plenty of things wrong with it. However, TMP is also very imaginative, and most people who enjoy the movie enjoy it for that. Just listen carefully to score during the V-Ger sequences; I find that unique. It's a piece of visionary filmmaking.
Bottom line, it was a mistake to call TMP a failure, when they clearly can do far worse. I, for one, want to forget Star Trek V and Star Trek Generations; both were embarrassments. They could have used a TMP-style treatment in both cases; it's like they're afraid of the first movie.
I'm actually braced for the worst with this new movie. It sounds too much like it's going to be another Star Trek Generations.

I expect, like the Klingons and their bumpy foreheads, they don't talk about it...
And, thankfully, unlike the Klingons, they didn't try to explain it in Enterprise

Quote:As I remember Ceti Alpha IV exploded, thereby changing the orbit of Ceti Alpha V. Now if you believe that, it seems reasonable that Ceti Alpha IV might have been mistaken for Ceti Alpha V, except that one might immediately wonder why there was one less planet in the system, and how Ceti Alpha IV exploded, and how it could have changed the orbit of Ceti Alpha V without completely destroying all life on the planet.

Why no flags for the Ceti-Alpha system in the database?
I don’t see what your problem is.
Although I did kind of like Wrath of Khan.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.
Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.
