#Star Trek VI

One of my favorite scenes from Star Trek: General Chang's death scene in Star Trek VI, as he looks on at the torpedo coming to rain death on him and his ship.

Christopher Plummer doing some truly fine acting. RIP to a legend.

Way back when I first saw this movie in the theaters (I'm an old Trekkie), this statement from Spock caught me by surprise. I had always assumed he meant Sherlock Holmes. But I've noticed over the years that some in the Trek fandom here in the Tumblrverse wonder if Spock meant Arthur Conan Doyle.

Nope! He meant Holmes as confirmed by writer/director Nicholas Meyer in a recent interview at the TrekMovie site (x). Here's what Meyer said:

"[Leonard Nimoy] paid me a great compliment. He said I knew how to write Spock. In a way, I sort of modeled it a lot on Sherlock Holmes. And I write Sherlock Holmes novels. And if you know how to write Sherlock, then you’ll know how to write Spock because they’re very similar. And in fact, in Star Trek VI, I had Spock claim descent from Sherlock."

And it's the 50th anniversary of the Meyer novel The Seven Percent Solution in which Holmes' cocaine addiction has left him paranoid and delusional. Watson believes that a psychiatrist named Sigmund Freud may be Holmes' only hope for salvation.

Valeris should have gotten a redemption arc. I'm willing to forgive a lot for the "sabotage" gag.

I don't think The Undiscovered Country was supposed to make me cry as much as it did.

Every time someone says that Cornel West is running for president, my initial reaction is always “wait, THIS guy?”
