 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.

Critics (movies, TV, books, art, etc.) are simply snobs. They only like the arty-farty garbage that nobody else would ever want to watch / read / see.  :-)
They often announce that something is "classic", when in reality it is utterly boring, yet lots of people stupidly rush out to see / buy it anyway.
