But yeah, Shatner/Lloyd fight stretches credibility- to best possible breaking point! <br /><br />Mike,<br /><br />Just a heads up- Ferrer probably has three minutes of screentime, and Larroquette maybe 15- if you're fresh to STAR TREK I would humbly submit as a good start the Ricardo Montalban-Khan saga double feature: the classic episode "Space Seed," followed by STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (both on Netflix instant!). <br /><br />Cannon,<br /><br />Yeah, I probably should have mentioned the Horner score- he takes themes from the original series and orchestrates them in a manner worthy of John Williams- definitely leads to some good moments like the one you describe. And 80s ILM- definitely at the height of their game.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-76114963753633828972014-02-26T09:48:33.282-05:002014-02-26T09:48:33.282-05:00I'll be right up front with it: that moment wh...I'll be right up front with it: that moment when James Horner's score swells with excitement as the Enterprise is pulling out of Spacedock and the smug Captain Styles of the Excelsior says over the intercom, <i>"Kirk, If you do this, you'll never sit in the Captain's chair again,"</i> before cutting to the fate-accepting expression on Kirk's face ...<b>Search for Spock</b> has its limitations but that moment right there was pure movie magic for me.<br /><br />It's one of the ultimate Kirk moments -- Kirk, at heart, the ultimate rebel, who's just like, <i>"Fuck Starfleet and everything else. I'm gonna go save my friend's katra."</i> <br /><br />And, yeah, the FX in that movie are rad; when the Enterprise explodes and trails through the evening sky of the Genesis planet. 80s ILM rocked-out with their cocks out.Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886860130286869992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-91701556410839639522014-02-26T01:39:45.867-05:002014-02-26T01:39:45.867-05:00Wholeheartedly agree with J.D. above; I've nev...Wholeheartedly agree with J.D. above; I've never been a big Star Trek guy, but Larroquette AND Ferrer?

I always forget... but hey, Laroquette, Ferrar and Lloyd - not too shabby. That fight between Shatner and Lloyd certainly has its moments of scenery-chewing hilarity as a clearly too-old-to-credibly-fight Kirk actually wins... c'mon! But still, would STAR TREK fans ahve it any other way? I think not!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
