Week 17

"Hello, Computer!" - Scotty

So for week 17 I watched the remainder of the original cast films, 3-6. I also saw the new film, but I will post separately about that once I've seen it a second time.

The odd-numbered movies do suck, the curse was true. I think part of it is whom they allowed to direct. Nimoy directed III and Shatner directed V. III had some redeeming qualities, such as storyline and setup for future movie plots, but the directing, action, and writing were over all poor.

The Voyage Home was a comical break from traditional Trek. The idea is not foreign to TOS, so I feel like it was appropriate. And finally, The Undiscovered Country was a good note to finish on for the entire crew. The plot was great, the directing good, better writing, and the story is very timely where it reflects on a changing world with aging actors. It was a good way to go out and say farewell.
