Questionable Humor
I came to believe Star Trek was going down hill with this movie for many reasons. One was because of some of the humor in it. Like Kirk's joke about beans and whiskey being a "potentially explosive combination", Spock smelling Kirk and agreeing that he could use a shower, and the Klingon ambassador belching right after the Earth ambassador refers to him as "charming."
Really? Is that the kind of humor that has made Star Trek great?
