Something's missing

As Steve once asked, if speeders are so easy to come by in the Star Wars universe, why do tables still have legs? I feel the same way about Star Trek, and I've been a fan since I could walk (or at least it feels that way).

My homeboy James was in town this week for the holidays and we went yesterday for cheesesteaks at the new Jersey Joe's and then to see Star Trek: Nemesis. While I enjoyed the humor, it was clearly no Star Trek VI or First Contact. Not only has the Federation still not learned about liquid-crystal touchscreens (871-6230? oh yeah, shields up), but 1701-E has apparently ditched the kick-ass stellar cartography room of Generations and taken up the Matrix as its computer interface. And could we please get some personal forcefields in here? Sheesh.
