I'm a fan and I enjoy every legitimate Star Trek movie, including TMP

I know I'm in the minority, but this is one of my favorite movies, let alone Star Trek movies. It's the essence of what Star Trek was about: Exploration. First Contact. The Unknown. I enjoyed the first season and a half of Enterprise because they focused on this.

I like Khan, and First Contact. But IMO, Star Trek is at its best when they dont focus on war.

You are absolutely right that the material lends itself to an episodic format. TNG struck a wonderful balance between space exploration episodes, strange anomaly episodes, and action episodes. Theres nothing wrong with having an episode where they fight the Borg, or a space battle.

I thought Star Trek 6 was excellent, with the combination of interstellar politics, revenge, racism, combined with a "whodoneit?" murder investigation.

The reboot is brilliant. Nero's arrival explains not only the tech advances when compared to TOS, but also the focus on militarization of Starfleet. Abrams first movie was great and seemed to satisfy both old fans and garner new fans. I loved Into Darkness, including the villain. It also allowed Abrams to address the militarization, deal with it, and send the crew off on a 5 year mission.

I really hope the next episode has some sort of Vger for the crew to combat (but hopefully not a straight up remake like Into Darkness. Get creative, JJ).
