Star Trek into Darkness is awesome because finally Khan was allowed to be truly superhuman.

@PR: perhaps you should post a new 'worst star trek movie ever" poll. i only suggest a mod do this since you'll likely have to expand the pole to include all 12. would be interesting to see the results.

I can't go above 10 for some reason, but how about I make a poll that leaves out First Contact and Wrath of Khan? Both of those are considered to be, in general, two of the best Star Trek movies.
That's fair enough. I don't think there'd be much point leaving out the new ones though, as they're more polarising and more relevant, even if they aren't the worst in the series.
Yeah. I've been rewatching all of the shows (finished TNG and DS9, which were both great. On Voyager now) and just watched the episode where Seven of Nine has a multiple personality disorder due to a virus infecting a Borg beacon. There are some high points but by and large the show is my least favorite of all of the televised series. I like a few of the characters but a majority of them range from annoying to just not caring about them like I did characters on other series. Plus after watching DS9 and it's great recurring villains and character based storytelling Voyager leaves a lot to be desired.
of course you know this means quan won't be voting.
