I too would LOVE to see a Klingon --- Federation War in
ST IV. Lord knows, after all the money Paramount is making, they
could afford to borrow I.L.M. for a year just for the special
effects. 

Can you imagine 50-100 ships all blasting away (just like Jedi!!).
However, I can see one fault with this, in advance. All you SFB 
players out there would probably rip the battle scenes to shreds
for non-believability, even though the makers of the game know no
more about battles than I.L.M would...

Anyhows, rambling on, I thought ST III was the best picture so far, by far.
As has been pointed out before, it had flaws, but, personally, I couldn't
give two craps. Nimoy should direct ST IV, he has proven himself worthy
of the honor by his work on ST III.

Now that Paramount has money and public reaction on their side, I hope
they sack Robin Curtis and go begging to Kristie Alley. That's about all
I can think of that ST IV needs.

Ooops, i almost forgot.. the ENTERPRISE.... ah yes.... again, i say
BIG DEAL. As long as Kirk doesn`t get stuck on the garbage scow called
the Excelsior, things will be fine. I`m not gonna hack on the dead issue
of whether the Enterprise had to die. It died, and no amount of bitching
and crying is gonna bring it back. If Paramount resurrects the Enterprise,
would you EVER thenafter believe ANYTHING could happen to anyone or
anything important on the show?? We brought Spock back, but as far as
I'm concerned, the Enterprise better damn well stay dead@!!!
