Star Trek V is awesome and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. It’s just become a meme that it’s “the bad one” from people who haven’t watched it in 25+ years
The only one I struggle to say anything nice about at all is Nemesis.
Have you forgotten (or tried to will from existence) Insurrection? That movie is f'ing awful. It visually looked good, and Riker did a decent job in directing, but the writing was just awful. The whole allegory with Data and that super annoying kid was horrible. Worst Trek movie by a long shot.

Insurrection was like a middle of season Voyager quality plot line that they decided to give a movie level budget.

I wasn't going to jump in on that because I'd hoped the Calpuck collective had purged that piece of crap from existance.
Worf complaining about his zits. Riker asking Worf to feel his baby smooth skin. Flying the Enterprise with the emergency thrust master joystick. The whole god awful opening series with Data and Picard singing.
Yeah, it was a bad movie and F. Murray Abraham couldn't save it, and he's saved a lot of bad movies.
But Nemesis was I think the worst Star Trek movie every made, It almost killed Tom Hardy's career, and the end was an incredible poop sandwich that really wrecked what should have been a poignent but really badly conceived self sacrifice plot.
Shatner's Star Trek V wasn't great, there were bizarre choices in it. But at the heart of it, you left wanting more, because there was a really solid storyline in there that could have really been something that a good writer and director could have sunk their teeth into

The TNG movies were like a set of ugly children. I still loved them anyways. Plus I think Enterprise E is beautiful.
It really pains me to see how prominently they're trying to feature michael in the 50th anniversary crap. Worst character in all of star trek history. Worse than the paris-janeway lizard babies. Worse than the original ferengi. The only satisfying future left for that series is if discovery can somehow mcfly itself out of existence. Maybe it can go back in time and run into Michael's mother or something.

Gotta say, I’m really enjoying this season of Lower Decks so far. This week’s episode wasn’t my favourite but it was still a fun 25 minutes and gave me a few good laughs. It’s my favourite Trek in a long time. I find some of the Easter eggs a bit too on the nose but I love the heart of the show and won’t hold that against them.

Also, count me in for the “Star Trek V is not the worst” camp. At the very least, it has some fun Kirk/Spock/McCoy moments that seem true to the original series. And the unintentional comedy is great. Don’t get me wrong, I would never recommend it as a good movie but I always enjoy it in my own way. Thank god they got to close the movie series (I’m thinking “The Undiscovered Country”, not “Generations”) with a dignified sendoff.

Undiscovered Country is a very good film and a perfect send-off for for the original crew. That movie is easily in the top 5 for me, right up there with Wrath of Khan, First Contact, and Voyage Home.

I just got the two second blurb on Discovery's new season, because of it's nearing release. I haven't watched season 2 and 3. What the splash revealed was that the ship was in the year 3100ish, and the Federation was destroyed, and they might have to rebuild it.
They are going to Kurtzman Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, aren't they?

Still think that what should have happened was the Discovery pops into 3100, which is several hundred years in the future.
they encounter a shuttle or garbage scow from 3100 that one shot kills it.
They open communications, and the future ship decides that they are too annoying to let live.
The decrepit ship if named Enterprise, and is captained by the Klingon descendant of the guy who told Scotty the Enterprise was a garbage skow in 'Trouble with Tribbles'. He looks like a normal Klingon. If asked about why the Klingons of Disco's Era look weird, he will respond, "we do not talk about it".
They then flash to Barcley on the holodeck, shaking his head at the failure of his new program, and ordering Disco erased forever.
