And to behave badly on the Internet and further expound upon my own posting, if the space earwigs killed the majority of the Botany Bay’s crew, Khan and maybe two or three others raised 10-15 kids **all by themselves**!!

Yeah; I’d be a little cranky too.

Peace. Live long and prosper.

#63 & 65: That’s what I always figured. That was the next generation, if you will, of the Khanites and that the space earwigs did most of the other adults in.

THX, upon seeing Spock’s death scene, I literally couldn’t speak for an hour after leaving the theater. The second time I saw it, that’s when I cried.

Peace. Live long and prosper.

A huge disappointment after the previous film. Whilst TMP may have had problematic pacing and limited characterisation, this film dispenses with any attempt at philosophical ideas and turns Star Trek into a space shoot-up, albeit one with a few more literary allusions than normal.

Whilst a sequel to “Space Seed”, this film in many ways rehashes more ideas from “Balance of Terror.” Just as Gene’s original pilot episode was critiqued for being too intellectual, here again is evidence of him losing control of his own project as Star Trek heads into lowest common denominator territory. A waste of the good ideas that are present in the Star Trek concept, ideas that have never ben satisfactorily realised on either the small or large screen.

The planet was most likely a terraformed Regula I. That would mean there would have to be a star for it to orbit. C’mon people, it’s not that hard :-)

As I recall First Contact even used the old Enterprise in it’s trailer. That was a real head scratcher when I saw that since we all knew it was destroyed in the previous movie. Obviously the new model was not ready for the trailer either!!!

Even the TNG movie trailers used music and shots from other Trek films and even TV. The First Contact trailer has shots from Best of Both Worlds, The Emmisary, All Good Things, and something from Voyager. And music from TMP, Khan, and TNG

As far as where the planet and sun came from I always assumed that it was the moon that they high-tailed from into the nebula. And unless it was somehow just floating in space I would also assume it was in orbit of a sun that was just not shown in any wide shots. Based on how far the Genesis effect spread out even if the moon were a ways away it would have been effected.

Re: #139-
So I’m a bit confused. When we all watch the trailer for the upcoming movie, none of the special effects may be in the movie? It’s not a preview, but a false view?

I don’t know when this trailer hit the bricks, but I saw the 3 minute reel that Susan Sackett carried to St. Louis the last week of April in 1982 that only had effects shots of the Enterprise (no reliant) and used TOS music that included almost every seen that ultimately ended up in this trailer.

It began with a VO of Shatner saying, “This is William Shatner, we’d like to show you some scenes from a movie we’re all proud of” and ended with “We need warp drive in 3 minutes or we are all dead” and the Enterprise flying away to ‘end of the episode music from TOS.

I will always consider this the _real_ trailer for Star Trek II . . .it was like being a kid in a candy store.
