To a Trek-Starved fan who loved the Original Series, that whole awful movie was an amazing moment. Friends of mine (who drove) took me to the theater. I realized they were there because they knew I wanted to see it when one of them leaned over and said "Why did everyone in the theater cheer when the guy with the ears walked onto the ship?" She was serious.
I perked right up when I heard the theme and was complaining out loud "Why are they playing the Star Trek theme? They aren't doing anything about Star Trek! This doesn't make any sense!! Oh. They're just going to commercial. All righty then."
