      So Leonard Nimoy was actually a still photographer on the side the whole time he was acting. So Directing was a natural transition for him, although it's questionable whether he ever mastered action direction over the course of these films.

      Excellent reaction, Jen.
      It's a pity that you didn't watch 'Journey To Babel' from 'Star Trek: The Original Series' you would have seen Spock's Father and Mother and learned more about Vulcans. The next film continues the story particularly Spock's development.

      i get your point and i agree with it to an certain extend. yes it is right, just technically speaking, the enterprise is a ship, a "dead thing" that can be rebuild.
      and the the same time .... like in the old ages of sailing ships and the times of WW2 ...
      with time pasing by and with all the stuff happens over time, you as the captain or any other officer or crewmember, will build up a kind of connection to the ship. especially when you spend so much time on board. all the operations you achieve, all the battles you going trough, all the times when you, your crew and the ship is rescuing somebody or traveling max warp to another planet to bring a new antidote for a raging desease, and so on.
      what i wanna say is, you and those other folks on board will ( hopefully) evolve to a team, to a good team .... maybee even a family. and the ship it self, is part of the family!
      like is siad, i agree with you, it is a dead thing and if lost, they can build a new ship. but at the same time i disagree, because with that connection you will gain over time, it will become your home! your beacon of hope and light! the ship will become part of the family! it will become his own charakter!

      @@Wild_Wolve I do appreciate the opinion, but I see it more as a 'ship of Theseus' situation, where the Enterprise has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that they all carry that character with them, no matter the version (or timeline), simply by being an Enterprise.
      The sacrifices are still meaningful because it's their home. Each crew lives and dies by the grace of the Enterprise, and watching her go down is always sorrowful, but the crew knows there will be another so long as they make it back, as do we the viewer, so the cut is not as deep.

    I mean, the Enterprise is named after a US navy aircraft carrier (CV-6), arguably the most decorated US Navy ship in WWII. When that carrier was decommissioned, the US Navy chose to name their first nuclear-powered carrier (CVN-65) USS Enterprise as well. Then when *that* ship was decommissioned a couple of years ago, they selected Enterprise as the name for one of the new Ford-class carriers, CVN-80 (although the Ford class does not exist in the Star Trek canon, because there was a third world war and history took a different path).

    I was lucky enough to watch this back in the 80s. Wrath of Khan is my favorite of the original movies, but there's so much to love here. The way that Kirk stumbles out of the chair after losing David is such a simple, but powerful visual. The scene where they're activating the auto-destruct sequence has always been one of my favorites. You see the raw determination on Kirk's face, and Scotty and Chekov's shocked expressions. Scotty silently and grimly accepts what's happening. After he inputs his code and lets Chekov take over, he stares hard at Kirk, just to see if he's actually going to go through with it. Notice how he only breaks his stare when Kirk says the word ''destruct" in the final code; he knows there's no going back now. And Chekov just sits there in disbelief, almost hesitating to put his code in. Excellent acting from all three of them. And scene following it underscores the sheer weight of that decision, with them watching the ship's remnants burn up in the atmosphere. After all these years, the destruction of the original Enterprise is still one of the most dramatic moments in the franchise.

When the original TV Star Trek came on, they didn't expect it to go far, so they used the theme from the prior 12 O'Clock High, which was a very good show and can be found on MeTV channels. I watch 12 O'Clock High at midnight in Iowa on Saturday nights. You might want to hear it for yourself if it's shown in your area on cable.

    Lots of GREAT little moments in this one. The destruction of the Enterprise is iconic for those of us who grew up watching the show and were seeing the movies when they were fresh and new. The inversion of Spock's "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one" with Kirk's "the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many"... yeah, Shatner really knocked it out of the park AGAIN in this one. Not quite as impactful as the previous movie, but "Wrath of Khan" left some BIG OL' boots to fill.

    The novelization definitely puts a spotlight on Estaban being rigidly by the book. Kirk has an internal thought about him near the beginning (the transfer to his ship was in the novelization) about how he was a good man but with absolutely no creativity, and he figures he was given the Genesis assignment exactly for that reason, so it's strictly by the book. Starfleet just should have given the Grissom an escort.

    - The helmsman of the Excelsior was the late Miguel Ferrer, who a couple years after this played Bob Morton in RoboCop. He was the son of Academy Award-winning actor Jose Ferrer (Cyrano DeBergerac in the 1950s) and singer-actress Rosemary Clooney (White Christmas), and the cousin of George Clooney.
    - The sole surviving Klingon on The Bird of Prey was played by John Laroquette, who was best known for his Emmy Award-winning role as ADA Dan Fielding on the 80s sitcom 'Night Court', a role he returned to recently on Peacock starring Melissa Rauch (Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory). He also played J.B. Bigley on Broadway in the musical revival 'How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" which starred Daniel Radcliffe.
    - Mark Lenard who played Sarek, has also played the Romulan Captain in the original series episode Balance of Terror, and the Klingon captain at the beginning of Star Trek The Motion Picture.
    - I belive that this was Leonard Nimoy's first credit as a film director, and his second was Star Trek IV. One of his best films is Three Men and a Baby with Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg.
    - Dame Judith Anderson played T'Lar, the Vulcan priestess at the urging of her nephew. She was an Australian Shakespearean actress who also made classic films like Rebecca, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, and The Ten Commandments.
    - Robin Curtis replaced Kirstie Alley as Saavik, and would return as Saavik in Star Trek IV.
