Well, "The Best of Both Worlds" comes close, but I prefer intellectual depth to "wham bam thank you sucka" sorts...

When the Enterprise came up behind the Reliant, I yelled "YEAH!" :D

above), and the pointy ears were sexy! Same for Sub-Commander T'Pol...

...six out of 10!



(It's true, chknltl is a shameless Jolene Blalock fanboy)

ears...


I now notice she also looks better with the short hair. Hair always makes a difference in looks...


:hide:

In this fanboy's opinion if I had never seen Maxim's photos of Jolene, I would have had no proof to my assertion that she is by far the 'hotter' when compared to that gal who played Seven Of Nine- (Ryan something-or-other, married to a scandal ridden repug at one time if memory serves).

Actually it truly was her hair that first caught my attention, I recall that when I first saw her on early episodes of ST-E, I was only thinking how much I hated her hair style. It was only later on that I was able to look beyond her Romulan Pixie to appreciate her...ummm...talants as an actress.

Here's an example of that hair from early on as T'Pol:


and later in the series it was altered to this:

:rofl: MAO!


Nice pics, btw...

Blessed are teh fan-boys! (The meek can keep all that dirt that they are supposed to inherit, we fan-boys just want more realistic blow up dolls-is that asking for too much?)

Will try again later...

:shrug:

I like to grow old with people. Not be a surrogate offspring.

She looks, facially, almost the same now as she did in 1980. Good aging, or perhaps had some surgery done. I'm guessing the former; I've seen pics of people who go under the knife and it's not pretty. Especially by the time they get TO the age of 60...

Alley is a long standing member of the Church of Scientology<1> and spokesperson for its anti-psychiatry front group the CCHR.<2>

THEY are nuttier than Tom Cruise!

the engine was shot...


:(

asking a San Francisco city cop for directions to the Naval Air Station in Alameda. You know, where they keep the nuclear wessels.

Followed shortly afterward by Chekov being interrogated by the FBI...
Special Agent interrogating Chekov: Name.
Chekov: My name?
Special Agent: (sarcastically) No, my name.
Chekov: I do not know your name.
Special Agent: You play games with me mister, and you're through.
Chekov: I am? May I go now?

Second best film of the series, with the all-time greatest Spock line.

Finishes his mind meld with Valeris.

Spock: "She does not know."
Scotty: "Then we're dead."
Spock: "I've been dead before."

Chilling delivery.

I'm not sure why it would bother me...

:-)

Nothing of substance there.

:D

And I still remember all sorts of bits removed for the DVD release.

The blu-ray edition is said to be the theatrical cut. Given the negative reviews on image quality, I'll be waiting for the next re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release, where they might actually DO a proper restoration...

But since my birthday is this week, maybe I'll have one soon enough.

Spock's invocation of "linguistic legerdemain" is over-the-top hokey and forced. Likewise, when he refers to "incriminating footwear," it comes across as nothing so much as an attempt by the writers to make the Vulcan guy sound more smarterer. The scene in which the benighted bridge crew of the Enterprise stumbles through basic Klingon is almost unbearably bad.

I can't understand why Ensign Slater decided to wake up Captain Sulu by simply letting himself into the Captain's quarters.

I also can't understand why a helmsman wouldn't know to "turn her into the wave." That seems like Starship Piloting 101 if you ask me.

Is it standard procedure for the communications officer to run to wherever an unauthorized phaser is fired? And why would the ship allow the phaser to be fired at all, instead of shutting it off preemptively? And why was the cook hand-mixing mashed potatoes?

Attorney Worf's cross-examination is lame and heavy-handed, following the tradition whereby nearly every courtroom scene depicted in science fiction film or television is unwatchable.

Are you telling me that the more advanced descendant of a ship that can "find a matchstick" on a planet's surface can't track down two spacesuits stained with Klingon blood? If they couldn't throw the uniforms out the airlock "for all to see," as Spock notes, they shouldn't have been able to stuff them into an air vent, either.

And would Kirk and McCoy really be thrown into the "aliens' graveyard" without so much as a cursory inspection for tracking devices? For pity's sake, Kirk had a big, conspicuous patch on his shoulder--did nobody notice it? Nobody?!?

How long did it take them to be arrested and tried and convicted and sentenced and imprisoned? It seems like a matter of about six hours, according to the narrative pacing. The director should have given some indication as to the actual passage of time.

Chang's final line should not have been "To be or not to be." In his soliloquy, the troubled prince of Denmark is contemplating the merits of suicide, which has nothing to do with Chang's demise. Chang should have said "Oh! Untimely death!" Much more fitting.

i did like wrath of khan however.

:toast:

And Kirk, explaining to Gillian that Spock was "part of the free-speech movement at Berkeley in the '60s. I think he did a little too much LDS."

And the Great Hospital Gurney Chase. And, "Admiral! There be whales here!"

... from Wrath of Khan.

I love that whole scene... From when Kirk is explaining how he beat the Kobayashi Maru simulation and is interrupted by Spock... I thought it was SO cool that Kirstie Alley was speaking while she was materializing in the transporter on the Enterprise. A few seconds later... she says to Spock, "You lied." He replied, "No. I exaggerated."

I was trying to find a YouTube clip of this, but no luck so far.

and when people taunt fanboys into arguing online. :sarcasm:

The Wrath of Khan is still my favorite Trek film, but a specific scene I really love is Star Trek: The Motion Picture's opening scene of the Klingon D-9s engaging V'Ger.
