Some that immediately come to mind would be 'Let that be your last Battlefield', with the two survivors picked up intent on trouble, and Kirk and crew threaten to self destruct The Enterprise (something that actually went ahead in 1984's The Search For Spock), and it's a very good episode, and I also thought of 'The Way to Eden' with the party in search of paradise - "Get down from there you fool!" - and 'The Tholian Web'- which is one of my all time favorites they did, and can never look away for a minute. Also have to mention, 'Charlie X', and 'The Trouble with Tribbles'
I am simply unable to watch the latter with a straight face
TMP isn't a bad movie. I consider it the TOS series finale. Then Wrath of Khan the reboot for the TOS film series. :)
TWOK is a total reboot and is brilliant on his own merits (like ALien & Aliens).
I do admit liking the Genesis trilogy a lot, ST V lack the finances to have great finale and ST VI is farewell to classic Star Trek with my favorite crew. That bald guy was kind of okay sometimes and the only other series I liked was DS9, after the 1st season and before the last season.
Did enjoy the new trek and undoubtely will go and see the new one.
Among my favourite episodes are: The Doomsday Machine, The Naked Time, The Omega Glory, Shore Leave, The City On The Edge Of Forever, Mirror, Mirror, Amok Time, Elaan of Troyius, The Immunity Syndrome, Journey to Babel.... I'd better stop. :))
My favourite movies are TMP, TVH & TUC, but I love 'em all!!
And I thank the gods themselves for the remastered TOS Trek with the new FX!!!
The episode is "Court Martial"- Kirk & Finney are fighting in Engineering, and Finney grabs a big silver-coloured standard 20th Century wrench off a small platform & swings it at Kirk, who dodges and wins the fight anyway, so a little different than you remember, but definitely a WRENCH. /:)
Sorry for my bad... :\">
My ranking out of the ones I have seen:
1. Star Trek (2009)
2. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
3. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn (It's decent but overrated)
4. Star Trek The Motion Picture
5. Star Trek III: The Search For Spock (I've only seen a little bit of this movie)
I'll update this list once I've finished "The Final Frontier".
The ending is a bit Meh and could have used some money for effects to make it more interesting.
Shpock! Wesh got to find god! :))
It's very easy to speak Trek talk with a Connery accent.
Well here you go!
1. Star Trek (2009)
2. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
3. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
4. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
5. Star Trek The Motion Picture
6. Star Trek III: The Search For Spock
To be honest I wasn't sure if this one was better than "The Wrath of Khan". I know it's taboo to not have 'Khan' in first, or at least second, place. For years I heard how great 'Khan' was and by the time I got around to watching it, it didn't live up to my expectations. It's one that I will watch again and hopefully I will have a better viewing the second time around.
As for "The Final Frontier", I actually had low expectations, because I heard mostly bad things, and ended up liking it. As someone mentioned above, one of the best parts were the characters and the friendship between them.
However, Wrath of Khan is far more deserving than Goldfinger.
If Anything Generations is the worst.
Mr. Shatner should have let The Undiscovered Country be his final turn as Kirk IMO.
If you've read "Up Till Now" He regretted appearing in it. It was literal Character Assassination as Rick Berman and Ron Moore IIRC hated TOS so they came up with this Kirk meets Picard scenario only to kill him off. However the Beginning of Generations was okay. But leading into the TNG portion kills the film. Nothing against TNG but aside from First Contact. there films were bad. I'll watch ST V 100 times over generations.
I'm glad Nimoy and Kelley didn't appear in it like they originally were supposed too. But I wished all the TOS cast turned it down.
Insurrection...to me is at the watchable level of The Final Frontier, It's okay but doesn't have much Rewatch value.
I did and I'm enjoying it. :)
I don't know where you could get the idea Moore had anything but undying love for TOS. Now whether he could do it and them justice ... that's a whole other issue. But I think you may be confusing Moore with Braga, who hadn't even seen TOS and thought Zefram Cochrane was a girl.
I pitched to TNG for about 50 painful minutes back in 1991 and Moore was totally on his game even back then, spotting my veiled references to TOS and even trying to improve one of my pitches so that Jeri Taylor would buy it (but instead she just kept saying, 'Picard wouldn't do that') ... funny, since one of my pitches was essentially HENRY IV pt 2, which I found out a couple months later is Patrick Stewart's favorite play. Would have had Wesley partying hard like Prince Hal, with a Falstaff like guy I imagined Brian Blessed would have played, with PIcard basically being the Gielgud role in CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT (the welles film adaptaing several shakespeare plays, mainly HEN IV 2)
howzat for a helluva digression?
Well I know Braga and Moore wrote Generations that's where that idea came from. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I wasn't sure hence why I used IIRC when I was referring to Moore.
