Hej Mortar!

At my age I should know better than to totally rely on memory.  :::sigh:::

That helps to explain my mixed memory of the tv episode with the movie version. 
 Despite this I still will default to the tv episode simply because of the 
cheesie el-cheapo special effects.  Also it took less than an hour to resolve 
what took the movie more than an hour of overdone graphics for more or less the 
same plot, with the same actors.  Vger ... V'Ger ... V'ger, was a nice touch 
although Voyager wouldn't have existed when the tv episode was aired.

Getting old ...

Het leven is goed,
