Cool

Joshua Langweil

Don't feel too sad, there's SO much more to come. :)

Some time ago, when you watched Conscience of the King in TOS S01E13, you asked if they would feature more Shakespeare, and I said "YES" but couldn't tell you more. And there is still more to come!

Ron

Just a heads-up for anyone who is like me and didn't know -- this reaction is for the Director's Cut which is 113 min vs the Theatrical Cut which is 110 min.

Just so you know, because going from TOS material to TNG (despite this movie being made season 5 of TNG) there is a change in how sectors and quadrants are referred to and mean, someone far smarter in these matters can explain it better. But in TNG our Milky Way galaxy is divided into four quadrants, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta, Earth and the Federation are in the Alpha Quadrant. Sectors and segments are smaller areas similar to the way they are referring to quadrants in TOS and this movie. This continues to the rest of the franchise, I don’t remember what.Continues did for that. Someone can explain that better. And your momentary thought of the Klingons might be right, we can investigate klingon life more in tng but I won’t say how much

I read most the James Blish "Star Trek" paperback books before I ever watched a single episode, starting with the sixth edition of the series. Thought it was kinda' funny my OG experience began and ended with "Star Trek VI". When I was younger, Kirk was my guy but now that I'm old(er), I have to say McCoy has grown into my favorite character.

Comments on the cast: Chirstopher Plummer did the voice over for the movie promo you viewed at the beginning. He did a lot of Shakespeare work in the 50's and 60's, so that may be why his character quoted him alot. The Federation President was played by Kurtwood Smith, who is best known as Red Forman on "That 70's Show" The President was an Efrosian but little more is known about them. Christian Slater was the crewman who woke up Sulu about Enterprise. The shapeshifter was Iman who was a supermodel starting back in the 70's. She was married to David Bowie. I've been watching Star Trek since it premiered on NBC in 1966, I'm now nearly 72, and see the characters, a bit differently now. They have had a good run, but they feel they are moving on in their careers and step aside for the next generation (pun intended) I retired from my career after 40 years, and it was a good time to leave since everything was changing and the career as I knew it could not be enjoyed the same way today. I do still keep in touch with some of us that are fortunate to still be here.

IMHO STVI:The Undiscovered Country is an excellent movie and the best of the series! Same director as WoK. Incredible actors! Iman plays a shape shifter and the voice and makeup resemble David Bowie, her husbando. It's in bunny's wheelhouse with the Case of the Missing Torpedo! I miss the lava lamp displays everywhere on the old Enterprise, for lots of graphs and spreadsheets, although the radar dish is a nice touch. Love the Klingon Gulag! The Enterprise being holed by a broadside like the Temeraire violates the sanctity of the Enterprise and it's hard to see how the ship does not disintegrate. Amazing what they were able to do with the original cast, especially when at the time Batman was starting with entirely different people in the key roles. What an accomplishment!

thats the dad from sound of music. klingon antagonist.

I've never watched the Director's cut. I was looking for the differences but could not see them. Although, 3 minutes, is not very much.

Mark Gosine

It's not the end. Only the beginning. At least until 2005. That's the end.

Ron

I used this to help me manually sync: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=2466 Unfortunately, my 4k bluray only has the theatrical version. So, I had to do manual resyncing about 4 or 5 times. Most of the differences are around 38 and 43 min. in the Director's Cut though. The changes after that are really small.

James

Christopher Plummer always great lol “you have a singular wit” and “you prefer like this don’t you Kirk?”

John DiGiantomasso

Lovely review and lovely sendoff by a lovely young lady. It is wonderful to see how deep you have dived into this universe. I took my first dip into Star Trek in September 1967 when my mom let me stay up late to see Captain Kirk win an argument with Nomad(Ton Ru). It was her favorite show. You've done it all, seen TOS, Animated, even new actors in Star Trek Continues. As a legitimate old-timer, let me say this: since you love the crew and the characters, I HIGHLY recommend you review the new "remake" movies. They are entertaining, and have nice callbacks to TOS. And you get a different view of Kirk, Spock, Bones, even Carol Marcus in a parallel universe sort of way. I think you would enjoy them, because I did.

bunnytails

That is a good point! I am excited for the future!

bunnytails

Yeah someone did mention that afterwards. I wonder if I would have liked that way better or worse if they had gone that route. I would probably be pretty pissed. I think the reveal still worked here even if it was a new character.

bunnytails

Thank you! It was a last minute swap to the director's cut by suggestion so I forgot to mention it.

bunnytails

Eventually I will check out the remake movies, I suspect!

Silverstrike

I am so proud of you! You got through the entirety of the original series. I enjoyed watching with you greatly. Now it is time to see the posterity of the next crew and the continuing voyages of the ship named Enterprise.

Desmond

Glad you enjoyed the film, and congrats on getting to the end of this amazing journey with the TOS crew. But I feel like to properly appreciate this film, you must be aware of the political allegory that the story is based on. The Klingons, of course, are Star Trek's stand-in for the Soviet Union while the Federation/Starfleet represent the US (and NATO). Throughout the series, the Federation and Klingons are presented as opposing blocs, competing for political influence in the galaxy, just as their real world counterparts did throughout the Cold War. The release of this film came at a time when the Cold War on Earth was coming to an end, and the same happened in the Trek universe. Obviously, the writers saw this as an opportunity since it was the crew's final journey as well. There are several direct parallels that you may want to read up on for extra context. Praxis explosion = Chernobyl disaster Chancellor Gorkon = Gorbachev Rura Penthe = the Soviet gulag in Siberia Chang's line where he tells Kirk "don't wait for the translation!" was a direct reference to Adlai Stevenson's famous words to the Soviet representative to the UN during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Even the plot against Gorkon had a real world parallel, as there was a coup d'etat against Gorbachev only a few months prior to the release of this film. Anyway, just some things I thought you should be aware of, can't wait to see you experience TNG and beyond as well.

Joining late in the game, but glad you enjoyed what is my favorite Star Trek movie. The original concept behind it was “The Federation and the Klingons duke it out for peace” and I can’t think of anything more Trek than that. A few nuggets that made me love this movie. I know Nick Meyer returned from Wrath of Khan to direct, but Leonard Nimoy produced, and despite a truly bare bones budget, he arranged for DeForest Kelly got get a million dollar salary for the final movie. Kelly had health issues and made nowhere close to that before and it helped set him up for retirement. The idea was to bring Saavik back as the spy, perhaps motivated also by the death of David, but Kirstie Alley was unaffordable and I don’t believe they appreciated Robin Curtis, so they created a new character in Valeris rather than recast again. Rewatching the film is a trip. All the little moments are there. You see Spock slap the patch on Kirk’s shoulder, and it’s there on the Klingon ship and throughout the trial. How did Valeris know that Kirk said “let them die!” in the meeting on Earth? You can see her in the room when Spock and Kirk are having their fight before leaving for space dock. 😊

RJ MacReady

I had to sub just for this! So glad you are watching what I consider the best ST movie, on par or slightly better than II!

phillip giroux

Feels like we need old school Trek now more than ever. I want to believe that humanity is still heading towards a better future even though it's really really hard to see it right now.

phillip giroux

Star Trek 1 directed by the guy who made The Sound of Music, Star Trek 6 featuring one of the stars of The Sound of Music.

bunnytails

Wow, I love the story about Nimoy and Kelly! Thanks for sharing!

Jeremy Montanez

This is the very first film I saw in the series which led me to have my own Star Trek adventure, like you I didn't go in order. This is my favorite star trek film. I do think you need to watch generations because this is not Kirks last film but that's up to you. Once again great reaction like always.

Trilogian

I finally caught up with Star Trek 6! I’m so far behind! Glad you enjoyed it, Bunnytails. It’s a pretty great send off to the crew, and it moves along well. My favorite bit is when McCoy is conked out in the snow only to have Kirk and Iman roll over him in the fight! Yes, Kim Cattral/Valeris needed a little sideburn (tho I don’t know if they call it that on girls)!

bunnytails

It's okay to go at your own pace! Will you join us for TNG as well?

Trilogian

Absolutely! Curious how you compare it to TOS!
