What was the best decade?
The 70’s when the reruns took hold and captured us all. We wanted more Star Trek. When the movie finally came out, we loved it. It was Star Trek! Never mind that it was an awful and slow movie, we were enamored. It was Star Trek. I can still watch it today and clearly remember how exciting it was at that time, still love that movie.

When I saw the motion picture for the first time in the 90's as a kid, never though it was bad, slow, or even boring, as most would say. When I first read a review of the movie stating as such, I got triggered. What?? There was all kinds of weird and interesting shit, we got a VERY good look at the Enterprise, and mother fucking V-GER... shit damn this movie was great in my opinion!
Fast forward 30 years, they've completely destroyed the franchise. Hate Nu-Trek with every fiber of my being.
You have to watch the LaserDisc version for the full effect. The later DVD runs of the first movie removed that gawdawful computer voice you heard in the shuttlebay during the opening scenes.
I have an extensive LaserDisc collection. I actually have an unsealed Star Trek The Movie LaserDisc. I’ve watched it on dvd and cable, but I’ll unseal it and watch it on my last working laserdisc player. Thanks!
Do you know if any clips of the voice exist on the tubes? If not, don't bother looking for me... I'll figure it out if I can. That's some weird obscure shit I want to see!
I more meant you being an older guy, which decade to live in, although I definitely prefer TNG
1969 to 1978 was perfect except for that stupid war. Socially the music was great, the protests were tame, nobody was being assassinated overtly. Skateboards were becoming popular, rock music was magnificent. Everything went down hill after disco came on the scene
