When it comes to Star Trek movies, there are roughly 5 commonly accepted good movies (The Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, The Undiscovered Country, First Contact, and the 2009 film) and 7 mediocre to bad ones (all the rest), although tastes and opinions vary. With a track record like that, its no wonder that fans like to think about what couldve been, especially with a rich (if sometimes ridiculous and convoluted) expanded universe providing all sorts of material that couldve been adapted.
