I think no one mentions it because it's supposed to have been such an 
embarrassing flop, and Snapefans that we are, we don't want to 
embarrass AR.

I rented that movie because I love, love, love Star Trek and even if 
it stunk (which I was inclined to think it would because I hate, hate, 
hate Tim Allen), I figured it would be a giggle.  I thought it needed 
about 10 times more jokes to keep the thing afloat--too bad, the basic 
idea was a good one--but I actually thought Tim Allen was fine, and 
more importantly it introduced me to Alan Rickman, who was very funny 
(I especially liked his nervous breakdown in the dressing room at the 
beginning).  I liked little touches like Sigourney's gradually 
dropping neckline--I guess I'm not the only one who thought Troi's 
blue dress was out of control!
