Many of us who were underwhelmed by the movie tend to subtitle it "Where Nomad 
Has Gone Before".

Of course, I was never all that impressed by the original series.  When it 
debuted I was 11 and had been a heavy reader of real SF (dead tree stuff) for 
three years.  Watched it anyway, there wasn't much else worthwhile on TV in 
those days.

In my opinion, the worst unintended consequence of the Americans with

steps of his club when the steps have been replaced with a ramp.
