MOVIE
This will be painful. So hold on. Movie opens with pain feeling on Arrakis. Cut to Shatner rock climbing. Then, our heroes eat beans and get gassy. Uhura interrupts their fun so they can drive her to Dune to perform interpretive dance. Then Sybok, Spock's really lame half-brother, takes over the Enterprise to meet God. God lives in the middle of the galaxy and wants to borrow Kirk's wheels. Kirk tells God to fuck off. God gets pissed, and hurls fireballs at him, destroying Stonehenge in the process. But he's not really God, so they eat more beans and the movie's over. All that action packed into only two and a half hours. Oh, and Scotty bonks his head.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED ANTI-TREKKIES.

KevinL> Who decided to stick a jazz oboist in the orchestra?!?
Ironf> I learned you can never get any straight answers when asking about downloading. :)
Kathmandu> sounds like someone's trying to step on a stork
Ironf> or a snork.
THX-1138> Downloading is a very private matter which you should only discuss with your priest.

SHATNER'S SCRIPT.

"So DAMN irresponsible!"
"You must be one with the rock..."
"I know you'll whip her into shape, Scottie."
"You know, you two could drive a man to drink..."
"Get that damn light out of my face!!!"
"Stop it, Jim!"
"They made love... with their hearts"
"A fantasy... concoted by pagans!"
"Each man's pain is unique"
"I say that danger is an illusion!"

HOMEGAMERS SEEK THE TRUE NATURE OF THE DIVINE.

BryanL1> The god of Ma'Ka'Ri?

M O N S T E R !
                   STAR TREK V
"Sybok"
Kingdom: Long-Lost Relative 
Genus: Weak Idea 
Species: Vulcan 
Special Powers: Some weird kind of forced empathy, allowing him to encourage everyone else in the movie to share their pain, or pair off with Shane, or some damn thing. This also makes people join up with him, no matter how goofy his eyebrows are.
Weakness: Theological shock, just about anything else.
Notes: Ah, Sybok. A.K.A. Chuckles. Really, you have to feel sorry for the guy. I mean, he's a poorly thought-out idea to begin with. Then you add in the ignominy of being played by Lawrence Luckinbill instead of Sean Connery. Then put him in Shatner's script, and give him lines like "Let me share your pain", and . . . well, he really didn't have any other lines, did he? I mean, with all that against him, it was no wonder he went looking for God. I'd want an explanation from my creator too.
