November Nexus Episode Poll
Added 2024-06-27 16:19:54 +0000 UTCHey Folks,
We are gearing up production for a whole host of stuff before we take our August break and we need your help on choosing the next Full Length Movie Review Nexus episode for We ❤️ Movies Month in November! There's a lot to choose from so see below and Vote! Oh, and yes, we did do Star Trek IV as a live episode in San Franscisco, but it was recorded terribly and is lost forever! Similarly, we figured we've only covered Star Trek: Nemesis as a Commentary a million years ago, so it might be fun to revisit as an actual Episode. The choice is yours below! What do you want to hear in November?
PLEASE NOTE: This November Nexus, while happening during We ❤️ Movies Month, doesn't necessarily need to have a We ❤️ Movies-caliber Trek film as the selection. We just want to cover all the Star Trek films in the franchise, and this space allows us the opportunity to do that. So vote for one of the great ones, or vote for one of the shitty ones— we don't care, we just wanna talk Trek!

Ya, by run it back I meant just do it again.

2024-07-13 10:13:59 +0000 UTCDamn I didn't think I'd get this outbid. C'mon don't you want to make the guys suffer through Nemesis??
Felix Forrester
2024-07-04 00:06:12 +0000 UTCInto Darkness is definitely one of the worst
Clint Rivas
2024-07-01 18:04:04 +0000 UTCI've requested that before as well.
Mark Ibarra
2024-07-01 04:28:31 +0000 UTCFuck off

Smaug
2024-06-30 16:47:45 +0000 UTCOh I'll be happy with either of the front-runners
Smaug
2024-06-30 16:46:27 +0000 UTCHow petty do you have to be to see this poll and still waste your vote in Nemesis?
Felipe Sobreiro
2024-06-30 15:44:52 +0000 UTCtime for those last place voters to re-vote for one of the top two
Lunar_Prodigy
2024-06-30 14:15:09 +0000 UTCHmmm, IV and VI neck and neck. I’d be happy with either but I think VI might be my favourite of all the Trek movies so I’m voting for that.
Craig
2024-06-29 00:06:02 +0000 UTCHad to vote for secret second best film in the entire franchise Star Trek VI.

2024-06-28 20:38:17 +0000 UTCI was at that Voyage Home live show in SF. It was just so damn good they should just run it back!
Julien Schwab
2024-06-28 17:05:33 +0000 UTCUhura's impatience and annoyance at having to figure out the mystery of the gravity boots might be the funniest acting that Nichelle Nichols gets to do in the entire series.
Tim O'Connor
2024-06-28 14:10:01 +0000 UTCI know Wrath of Khan is the best one, but Undiscovered Country is my *favorite* one. It's a real Empire Strikes Back / Return of the Jedi situation.
Tim O'Connor
2024-06-28 14:08:00 +0000 UTCI just want to hear the guys calling each other "double dumbasses"
Michael Colon
2024-06-28 13:30:34 +0000 UTCBeen rockin with these guys since 2015 they are PRETTY DAMN JOKES
Tom Mann
2024-06-28 08:48:03 +0000 UTCI approve of both.
Paul
2024-06-28 03:03:32 +0000 UTCIV and VI are WLM. Nemesis and Into Darkness are WHM. I rewatched Nemesis for the first time in a long time recently, and still have some bubbling rage about how bad it is. So that was my vote for selfish reasons.
Toronto Will
2024-06-28 01:30:49 +0000 UTCI voted VI but IV would be great too, as long as I get to watch old Kirk and Spock be gay in preparation
Rhea
2024-06-27 23:39:52 +0000 UTCInto Darkness is my fav 🤞🤞🤞
Jamie
2024-06-27 23:34:42 +0000 UTCI love both for similar, but different reasons. More than any other entries, these were the two Trek movies that seemed like the people making them looked and realized "We're making a movie here. We don't have to abide by all the rules and limitations the TV show put on us." As a result, they're the two stories that feel like they really made a good effort to explore that freedom. Wrath of Khan gave us a story where the 'everything goes back to the way it was' rules of television were lifted. The Enterprise took genuine, lasting damage. Deaths weren't simple disintegrations or actors slumping over bloodlessly (and credit to Meyer, after all the jokes about dead red shirts, there's few Trek moments that hit quite the gut punch of Scotty's nephew effectively asking Kirk for permission to die while his uncle watches on the verge of tears - complete with his blood staining Kirk's uniform for the rest of the movie.) And the normally unflappable, unbeatable, James Kirk finally had to come face to face with a scenario he couldn't bluff or charm is way out of and had to learn to process genuine defeat. That ending set the course that really changed where the subsequent movies went, both in the long journey to get back to 'normal' and how Spock's death changed his character. Which brings to The Undiscovered Country - a movie where they realized this was basically the curtain call for the TOS crew as TNG was on the rise. Rather than send them off with just another mission, we get a story that explores the idea of not just the end of their voyage, but of the world they helped pioneer and explore with the end of hostilities with the Klingons. Like WoK, hitting that great balance of sci-fi action set pieces (albeit with more political thriller this time out) and genuine exploration of these characters freed from the static confines of television serialization, all topped off with great supporting performances by Christopher Plummer and David Warner. I appreciate that we got one last hurrah from Kirk in Generations, but it could have just ended here and it would have still been a perfect ending to his, and the crew's journey. ...so yeah. Definitely voting TUC for this one.

2024-06-27 22:24:02 +0000 UTCKhan should have been a fakeout. Bandersnatch could have been an imposter with the real Khan dead or elsewhere. But Abrams gonna Abrams.
Mark Ibarra
2024-06-27 21:57:16 +0000 UTCAGAIN with the Klingons.
Mark Ibarra
2024-06-27 21:54:17 +0000 UTCI voted Into Darkness because it's Starfleet at its most fascist and the biggest wasted potential since Nemesis.
Daniel Garcia
2024-06-27 19:56:45 +0000 UTCIV & VI are both good and I'd love to hear you talk about them but I'm going with Into Darkness which I think is really interesting and one of the ST movies that is least talked about.
jscro
2024-06-27 19:29:15 +0000 UTCI only voted Nemesis because I love hearing you people suffer
Felix Forrester
2024-06-27 19:24:43 +0000 UTCI keep emailing it in for user request month like an asshole lol
calrodsomething
2024-06-27 19:06:01 +0000 UTCIt's during We Love Movies month, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the Trek flick is a WLM. We just wanna do all the Trek films and this allows us that space, so vote with your heart, Howard! - Andrew
We Hate Movies
2024-06-27 18:26:57 +0000 UTCWell, the Voyage Home show in SF that was lost was in May of 2023, so by July 2024 when we would record it, looks like we'll be good to go, Drew! - Andrew
We Hate Movies
2024-06-27 18:26:22 +0000 UTCYou just finished TOS, so its time to cover the Undiscovered Country, the perfect farewell to the TOS cast
Andrew Dean
2024-06-27 18:25:55 +0000 UTCIt's during We Love Movies month, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the Trek flick is a WLM. We just wanna do all the Trek films and this allows us that space, so vote with your heart, Frank! - Andrew
We Hate Movies
2024-06-27 18:23:20 +0000 UTCGang, we were at your SF show and had a blast. So sad the recoding didn’t work out but hoping for a take 2!
Amanda and Daniel Pietsch
2024-06-27 17:45:42 +0000 UTCAgreed, I would love a Galaxy Quest WLM at some point!!
Liz Self
2024-06-27 17:42:21 +0000 UTCDouble dumbass on anyone who doesn’t vote Voyage Home
andy
2024-06-27 17:36:01 +0000 UTCIt's a tossup between IV and VI for me, either way I know I'm gonna be craving Bones' love of the greatest radio hits of the Earth 1990s by that point
Dave
2024-06-27 17:34:43 +0000 UTCI would LOVE that.
Frank Grimes
2024-06-27 17:33:15 +0000 UTCGalaxy Quest!
calrodsomething
2024-06-27 17:04:18 +0000 UTCHard agree. Nemesis should not be within a thousand yards of the L feed.
Brandon Ford
2024-06-27 16:56:33 +0000 UTCI think its about time Star Trek XII : So Very Tired got an episode.
Les Whinen
2024-06-27 16:56:06 +0000 UTCI think you should do IV or go back in time and murder the tech who screwed up the live recording.
Christopher Hainsworth
2024-06-27 16:54:33 +0000 UTCGotta have a do over of IV before VI. Nemesis and Into Darkness deserve to be on the Hate feed, where they belong.
CharlesGrodin'sToupee
2024-06-27 16:51:18 +0000 UTCGlad I read your comment. My eyes glazed over that this would be a WLM instead of a WHM. Had to change my vote. Nemesis and Into Darkness are WHM’s all the way.
Bryce Zubriski
2024-06-27 16:49:51 +0000 UTCVoyage Home crew 4 life! It sucks the original recording was lost, but having experienced y'all retreading familiar around multiple times, I have every Faith you'll have fun and make it engaging
Gavin
2024-06-27 16:46:12 +0000 UTCVoyage Home forever
Thomas Adams
2024-06-27 16:40:32 +0000 UTCI initially voted nemesis but saw its a we love movies....nemesis is horrid. It does deserve an episode but not a WLM episode lol.
Frank Grimes
2024-06-27 16:40:00 +0000 UTCI went Star Trek 6. You guys having done Voyage Home recently, maybe wait a few years before tackling it again
James C Harris
2024-06-27 16:39:37 +0000 UTCStar Trek IV has space whales and bus punks, I'm sold
Michael Daniels
2024-06-27 16:38:06 +0000 UTCI think the second take on 4 should wait at least a year, personally, which is why I’m going for 6.
Drew Stewart
2024-06-27 16:32:53 +0000 UTCWhich would lead to a great riff in Picard impressions
Nathan
2024-06-27 16:32:49 +0000 UTCOf course, when Old Shakes talked about the Undiscovered Country he meant Death, not the Future.
Tom Prentice
2024-06-27 16:32:47 +0000 UTCThere's an honest to goodness PRISON PLANET in that movie... "Uuuuhh folks, I've been sent to Rura Penthe. The Federation Cabal has finally gotten to me"
Felipe Sobreiro
2024-06-27 16:31:19 +0000 UTCI feel like the only person in the world that loves Nemesis 😂😂
Britt W
2024-06-27 16:31:01 +0000 UTCWhale Trek! Whale Trek!
Seth Busino
2024-06-27 16:30:56 +0000 UTCI'm hoping you do 4 and then Undiscovered Country later so you'll have eps on all the TOS ones.
Kemper
2024-06-27 16:30:36 +0000 UTCNemesis cannot be a WLM, sorry. What a horror show.
Howard Fienberg
2024-06-27 16:30:18 +0000 UTCUndiscovered Country was the first Trek movie I saw and it still holds up so it's got my vote.
Craig Ainsworth
2024-06-27 16:29:35 +0000 UTCI got to see the Star Trek IV live show in San Francisco and it was all-time great. I would love to hear another shot at it.
Depression_Bard
2024-06-27 16:29:24 +0000 UTCClassic big fur coat movie
Vio Darc
2024-06-27 16:28:31 +0000 UTCNeed In To darkness !!!!?
Cody
2024-06-27 16:28:20 +0000 UTCNemesis all the way it's bad.
Lee Jones
2024-06-27 16:27:16 +0000 UTCWe're spoiled for choice here but I think I'd love to see you guys dip back into the recent trilogy for sure.
Busiris
2024-06-27 16:25:57 +0000 UTCThe Undiscovered Country is my personal favorite of the TOS movies (sure, Wrath of Khan is also great but VI holds a special place in my heart)
Felipe Sobreiro
2024-06-27 16:24:57 +0000 UTCPlease do a second take on star trek 4!
