Ten Days of Trek: Day 6

The last film to feature the entire original cast. Sad.The Undiscovered Country
Thoughts:

  • Spock was so interestingly out of character in this movie. Interestingly because Nimoy helped write the story and produce to the film.
  • Kim Cattrall? Hilarious!
  • For such a mighty race, I find it quite entertaining that Klingons have bright pink blood.
  • I got really confused by Colonel Worf. They only call him Worf, so naturally I thought of the Worf we all know and love from TNG and Voyager. This Worf is even played by Michael Dorn, although the ridges in his forehead are different. Apparently he is supposed to be Worf's grandfather. I kept thinking during the film, "this was released in 2001, after TNG had been on tv for four years. Wouldn't this be confusing?" I guess it's okay to have this film overlap TNG, even though it's supposed to have happened well before Picard took over the Enterprise-D. I'd look into that further if ... I cared that much. Which I kind of don't. Maybe that makes me a bad Trekkie?
  • I'm glad they dropped the whole Uhura/Scotty thing. I was not a fan.
