"They" = Me. I wrote the story.
I'm not the first person to make the argument for "The Voyage Home" as best
movie. Star Trek IV has a lot going for it: they found a clever way to talk
about an ecological problem, it was extremely funny, it was very well received
by non-Trek fans (it had highest domestic box office of the non-reboot films),
and it didn't rely on a bad guy.
However, I will also admit that "IV" is not my favorite film. "Wrath of Khan"
is my favorite Trek film. In fact, it's simply my favorite movie of all time.
So, why not pick "Khan"? Well, when you're writing a list like this, sometimes
you want to avoid the obvious picks and give people something to debate. And
judging from this thread, I think I succeeded!

Sure, there are loads of great ship models. I personally hate the Ent-E
(sorry), but I agree the Warbird is a great model. I stand by my pick, but
recognize other folks will like other ships.
