Star Trek V: The Final Frontier 4/9 @ 10 PM ET

Sebok tries to do the right thing, he’s brave, gotta give him that.

“Damn you sir. You will try.”

Sigh. Smile. Sigh again.

That shuttle is looking punier and punier by the second.

Chekov is thinking “Hmmmmm…Yeah, I will fire a photon torpedo and Kill kirk and then I’ll REALLY be captain!! Mwwwahhhahahahaha!!”

Why are they using TOS sounds?

Okay, think TOS original series visual effects.

Now imagine them being created in the mid-eighties.

Now imagine it with less budget.

Man, I wish this movie’s effects had even that high quality. :stuck_out_tongue:

Uh, did he just call himself Captain Claw? “I’ll get you, Kirk” (ala “I’ll get you, Gadget!”)

Again with the rock-climbing?

So, what is not-god?

I think there’s a reason there was a barrier.

Spouse has been playing WOW instead of watching with me, and his most recent comment upon looking at the TV: they made it too fantastic this time.

Gods and computers are no match for the Kirk.

uh, okay, the klingon ship DEFINITELY made bother Terminator and Star Wars sounds just now…

Faster Kirk, faster.

You are correct sir.

His last god slain, AFAIK.

“Please, Captain, not in front of the Klingons.” LMAO :smiley:

Not in front of the Klingons.

Me like that :slight_smile:

Please Captain, not in front of the Klingons. Best line!

Not-god is just another god-like putz super-being. Kirk is always kick the ass of such types.

So say we all.

William Shatner’s first outline for this film was entitled An Act of Love and according to Shatner’s Movie Memories book, would have been a much darker tale and would have seen the first true falling out between Kirk and Spock and McCoy. Also, Spock and McCoy would also have joined with Sybok, leaving Kirk alone. This was changed when Nimoy absolutely refused to play that, stating that there was no chance that Spock would ever turn on Kirk, especially after what Kirk did for Spock in Star Trek III. Afterward, DeForest Kelley also refused, believing that McCoy would not turn against Kirk either.

In the original script, Kirk was attacked by ten large “rockmen” emerging from the rockfaces of Sha-Ka-Ree. Unfortunately, with an extremely limited budget (which was responsible for other “high budget” items being removed from the final script, as well as for the use of cheaper effects for the space scenes), only one animatronic “rockman” was created. The single rockman was filmed attacking Kirk, but the scene was thought too poor to include in the film, although an extremely brief (a few frames) glimpse of the creature occurs in the final print during the scene where “God” fires energy blasts at Captain Kirk. Some test footage of the creature is available in the Special Edition two-disc DVD release. The idea did make it to theaters in the Star Trek parody Galaxy Quest.

There’s more in Shatner’s Movie Memories, recommended reading IMO.

Spock: Wait 'til we get back to our quarters, Jim. :smiley:

FatKlingonDiplomat: “Now Clawy, apologize to the nice man for breaking his transporter…”

Okay, veto my own Scotty/Uhura under the archway idea, what about Kirk and Spock under an arch with the Klingons watching? :stuck_out_tongue:

A klingon apologizing? Unsettling !!
