This past weekend was Creation Entertainment's big Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, and it broke my heart not to be there (my Vulcan heart, that is, which is where my liver should be and beats several hundred times per minute). Still, Twitter and social media made me feel as if I was there at times, as when the fans gathered to rank the Star Trek movies.

Led by my pal Jordan Hoffman, who writes a column called One Trek Mind for Star Trek.com , the panel enlisted the help of the Trekkies (or Trekkers if you like) in the audience to determine the best and the worst of the Star Trek movies. Here's how it all broke down in the end:First of all, notice that Galaxy Quest made the list! While not technically a Star Trek movie, one can certainly see how it could make the cut. It's more Star Trek than a couple of the actual Star Trek movies even.Of course, Wrath of Khan was ranked number one in the end. But what I find interesting here is that the diehard fans apparently hate Star Trek Into Darkness, ranking that other Khan movie as the very worst of the series. This is definitely not in keeping with the general consensus of critics or the mainstream public. But if you want to poll actual, costume-wearing, get-a-life Trekkies, the Vegas con is the place to do it. And those fans have spoken.And speaking of getting a life, listen to my Star Trek podcast right here ! And watch my ranking of the Trek movies video (pre-Into Darkness) below.
