FILM DESCRIPTION:
The plot involves a peace conference between the Federation of Planets and the troublesome Klingons. The Klingons are hoping to perform a little damage control after triggering a mining disaster on one of their moons; their spokesman is the seemingly contrite General Chang (Christopher Plummer). All negotiations abruptly cease when a Klingon vessel is attacked, and Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) are accused of the crime. As they stand trial for murder, Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Vulcanian trainee Lt. Valeris (Kim Cattrall) try to locate the real culprits. It turns out that Kirk and McCoy are victims of a conspiracy to foment further hostilities between the Good Guys and the Klingons.

I'd give the script credit for the villain here. This scene, like every other one with Spock and Valeris playing detective, has Valeris and Spock in a close, arch and subtle conflict, as she deploys every feint and distraction she can to throw him off the trail, Moriarty pretending to be Watson. You can buy that she's his pupil.

It wouldnt be close to my favorite, but its clearly a cast that despite whatever personal differences they had (and there where many, it was a rowdy family at times, Takai and Shatner still loathe each other) had a lifetime of experience in their roles, and it really does show. If feels like watching a family.

[@kendallrivers1119]

@@logotrikes Magic? No, sir. Doohan WAS Scotty. The JJ Trek cast are good actors but don't hold a candle to what these legends did.

[@logotrikes]

@@kendallrivers1119 Well, I agree with all of that Kendall. The only Star Trek movies we watch repeatedly are the first six with all the original actors, especially Numbers 1 and 4 which I can watch over and again. But, times do move on, and the ones with Simon Pegg and Chris Pine are certainly watchable.... I did read somewhere that when they were casting for an engineer, it was decided that the Scots had a long history of engineering and innovation at the start of the Industrial Revolution. So a Scottish engineer was the logical choice. The choice of James Doohan was probably less logical since he was a Canadian, but his Scots accent was excellent to my English ears, having been born less than 100 miles from the border with Scotland. I must ask some Scottish friends of ours how close Montgomery Scott came, but the Scottish accent varies every bit as much as the English accent and can change within 20 miles, as can the accent from whence I came. There's the posh accent of good breeding, and there's mine, the accent of the working class poor. Scotland same... His later performances in the movie franchise were better I felt. He had matured in years and was as ever, perfectly cast. I've read elsewhere of his inspiration to future engineers...

This is a very cleverly written scene when you think about it: the use of the phaser demonstration not only explains why the boots weren't vaporized to the audience, but also works as a humorous way to get other characters into the room for dialog involving them, rather than the lazier way of having them on the intercom which cuts down on their screen time.

[@Milnoc]

@@TheDancingRomeo It does have a couple of glitches in the story. Sulu's Excelsior was added late in the script development. The Enterprise was the Federation ship that was suppose to detect the destruction of Praxis. When the Excelsior took the Enterprise's place, the plot point about the equipment used for detecting and cataloguing gaseous anomalies got confusing. if the Excelsior was on the mission to study gaseous anomalies, why did the Enterprise have the same equipment when they weren't on any such mission? The second glitch was how a multilingual communications officer with as many decades of experience as Uhura wouldn't know how to speak Klingon. I believe it was a very sore point with Nichelle Nichols. It would have been easy to make the scene work with a Klingon speaking Uhura and still include some decent humour in it.

[@ShamrockParticle]

@@Milnoc the second issue returns to the terrible joke telling that started with the voyage home. But the first issue had a scene cut where it was explained why Enterprise was doing that work. I wish the script as envisaged would have been kept but I'm glad the movie even got made.

[@animegenesis7]

​@@MilnocI thought the same thing, but you have to keep in mind that they had been at war for a long time. It is a resource to explain that they were enemies and really knew little about each other. But above all it was a comic resource that worked quite well. As for the "Enterprise" mission, as already mentioned, there was a scene where they explained it. Anyway, there is no such thing as perfection in art and that includes cinema. Even great works of art have mistakes. Still the movie is very good.

Of course, he should have known. What this is, is an example of how writers like to SHOW their audience things, not just explain it in exposition. It's not that Chekov didn't know. The writers just had him ask a question that the movie audience might be asking themselves. Of course, the writers could have reversed the roles and had Valeris ask the question and have Chekov answer it. But then that might have brought up the question of why would a Vulcan not known the answer already.

[@turps383]

The implication is that it's not a widely known fact. McCoy doesn't know either later in the film when he asks why the dead assassins weren't vaporized. The idea is supposed to be only someone who has done a lot of research on how to get away with something like this would know about it. This scenes payoff is when McCoy asks why the assassins weren't vaporized and Chekov responds that it would set off the alarm--implying whomever did this was knowledgeable about this obscure fact that thus far only Velaras seemed to know about.

I like all the classics, because they all have something special and different, but my two favorites were always "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" and this one. I never tire of seeing them.

[@tron81]

Hey I checked the Star Trek wiki after I posted that reply. They did have food synthesizers on starships in this era of Star Trek. I had forgotten about them. I guess the answer is they used both synthesized and non-synthesized food.

[@ryanhanks4852]

I love how everybody shows up without phasers after someone fired a phaser onboard.

[@VegetaLF7]

At least the security officer showed up with phaser in hand.

[@Xerxes2005]

Damned! You could lay bricks with these mashed potatoes...

[@AgentExeider]

Interesting how the Phaser vaporized the pot but NOT the mashed potatoes inside. I wonder if it was because the mash probably had a very high amount of water and thus acted as an ablative layer that boiled off thus protecting the potatoes and whisk. Also, why the hell is there a phaser locker in the Galley? I mean I know this is from the war era of the federation, but can someone who is in the navy tell me, are there weapons lockers in or near galley's aboard ships?

[@cyberjoel]

No more critics of the food since its installation.

[@lydiaarodarte-quayle2943]

No, weapons are stored in the armory and only specified members are allowed to have them. This of course is a fictional show and they wanted dramatic effect.

[@AgentExeider]

@@cyberjoel Ah i knew there was a reasonable explanation... 🤣

[@AgentExeider]

@@lydiaarodarte-quayle2943 Well like Joel said, it would cut down on the food critics.

[@SantomPh]

typically in a real navy ship the weapons are stored in an armory, but in Trek weapons lockers are found in most major compartments in case of boarding. In the Enterprise D and Voyager phaser rifles seem to be accessible with a code from many places- though the latter ship seems to be meant to be this way

[@NLaertes]

Its nice and handy to have a steady set of handphasers in the kitchen...

[@triandfit1]

Did you notice the YEE ha! look on Valaris’ face when she shot the phaser....thinking they used the wrong cut!

I like the timing of the end of this clip... just long enough to show that, no, the captain was not deep into planning his escape.

[@seanwebb605]

At ease? You just shot dinner!

[@EvilPikachu]

Love how KZbin's auto generated subtitles claim Spock said without the boots they'd have floated off the Klingon transporter pants. That seems like a one way ticket to a disastrous accident. One brief moment of signal loss and you've transported your own bollocks off. Talk about a wardrobe malfunction.

[@brucelee6815]

Love this movie it was awsome to see the original cast in a mystery

[@kevinhancock1391]

Spock very briefly drops his Vulcan cool and shows irritation towards Scotty for not keeping up. I always appreciated this touch as he must be feeling desperate underneath to save his best friends.

[@mattdaugherty7865]

Star Trek and Kim Cattrall, it doesn’t get any better than that!

[@panickedpaladin3966]

Love the easy and immediate access the kitchen staff has to a full complement of phasers. Just in case the Klingons try to steal the Enterprise's biscuits.

[@Bladerunner93]

Initially I wondered if it was really necessary to fire the phaser when she could have just explained it...but then really the next logical step would be testing if the phaser-alarm had been sabotaged, so...two birds, one stone!

[@gordonmills2748]

Scotty missed the entire conversation about the assassins' boots, yet when he wandered into the room, he acted as if he'd been fully briefed. Continuity, folks!

[@fhfs]

Spock: "The Captain is planning his escape." Kirk: "Working on it."

[@cush6827]

In the entire movie Uhura is more or less ignored. Here, Spock does not respond to her question and he asks Valeris to inform Starfleet Command although Uhura is the communications officer

[@SantomPh]

Uhura is the comms officer and Valeris the helmsman, but she is also being mentored by Spock, hence his order to her. The Enterprise is a bit strange in terms of rank and command structure as they have two Captains (Kirk and Spock), A Captain of Engineering (Scotty), one Lieutenant Commander, Uhura ) and McCoy holding a Commander rank alongside Chekov. It's a similar case on the Enterprise D, where Worf is usually the comms officer but Data or Wesley are often asked to contact other ships. In this case it's easier for Spock to order Valeris to contact Starfleet Command-and also gets her out of the room so he can talk to the more trusted officers.

[@Kyosukedono]

This is the best star trek movie in my opinion, hands down

[@iankennedy2626]

All the original cast movies were great but the last one was superb IMHO

[@cellytron]

Poor Chekov, always looking like a dork...

[@Felamine]

It's even more shameful when you realize Checkov was the Weapons Control Officer. He of all people should know the rules of phaser use on a starship.

[@Trek001]

If you watch closely, you'll see the Yeoman turn around twice holding the same dish - and at different times too

[@jwiese100]

Thank you for that clarifacation

[@damocles8417]

Enterprise protocol 101: if someone fires a phaser at high settings Uhura should first show up looking confused, then the Chief engineer follows shortly after with a question.

[@darthjadus8279]

All the Enterprise-A sets were deliberately modified to show the aging of the ship, it went through a lot between the end of 4 and 6, just as the characters grew a lot.

[@CaptainM792]

That’s not the mess hall, that’s the kitchen.

[@NyuuMikuru1]

Never mind the fact there’s a computer panel with christmas lights on the walls.

[@WhiteScarsEmo]

I think that was a choice by Nicholas Meyer. He wanted little things like that for the ship. Like he wanted tactile controls, like physical buttons and sliders, on the bridge, replacing the touch-panels from the last two movies.

[@zombieshoot4318]

I just realized that as well. LOL

[@TheNN]

Y'know it's a great joke where Uhura and Scotty both come running into the galley like they do, but from a military standpoint it kinda makes sense. The captain is not onboard, and thus Mr. Spock is in charge. Lt. Valeris sudden fires off an unauthorized phaser, causing an alarm to sound, and upon hearing that, the other ranking officers that are not in the galley, are the first to respond, as there's a very real chance that the highest ranking officer (Spock) could be hurt or even dead at that moment. Ergo as far as they know, they could be the acting captain. Plus like...everyone's on high alert due to the assassin's being (most likely) on board the ship, or so the characters would think at the time.

[@SantomPh]

and yet Uhura and Scotty are unarmed!
