I actually agree, while good, Star Trek 2 kinda seems overrated now on repeat viewings. I even like Star Trek 1 a bit more. Then again, my favorite of the films, First Contact, seems to be hated by a good chunk of the fanbase now so what do I know?

Vulcan annular warp drive is an application of Cochrane's warp drive design and wasn't in use prior to his warp flight in c/daystrominstitute@startrek.website

I don't like this idea because it ties everything to humanity. Why would the Vulcans, who were more advanced than humans, use their inferior technology?
