Think I'll go see it.

I was a huge fan of their show, but this episode aired long before I
started watching.  I thought they hated Star Trek (and sci-fi in
general).  One of the things that annoyed me about Siskel and Ebert and
mainstream critics in general is they tended to give genre movies bad
reviews.

. . . and we didn't know how good we had it when producers of action-
adventure-thriller-suspense movies done as Western or Science Fiction
genre movies were trying to exploit an audience and not please
mainstream critics.
