Well I still need to see The Motion Picture but other than that I have now seen all the TOS Trek movies starting with The Wrath of Khan and ending with The Undiscovered CountryMy feelings for the films are mixed. I definitely prefer the TV series. With all it's campy 60's style, it was fresh, unique and just fun. The Original series was not perfect ( Read more... )

According to Wiki, the last episode was Turnabout Intruder. Is that the one you're talking about? If so, as a ST episode, yeah, it's not one of the good ones. However, it is a nice acting job by Shatner as he gets to portray two very different personalities. I've only seen it once or twice myself.

Yes that would be the one. I might eventually watch it but as there are still a bunch of episodes on my to watch list, it doesn't get top priority.

You should definitely see the first movie too, for the squeeable friendship stuff ( ... )

Don't worry I do plan to watch the 1st movie, since I watched all the others it would be silly not too. Good to hear you enjoyed the friendship stuff ( ... )

A friend instead of a romantic interest is indeed a rarity in many series.

I was amused by them ignoring the orders. LOL. But I don't imagine they were able to keep that going for long. True, sadly, part of getting older is having to give up beloved jobs. But it seems like they were still physically able to keep going, so they shouldn't have had to quit yet.

I don't remember the mind meld in the sixth movie. Strange.

That's interesting that Spock and McCoy were originally going to be in Generations. Pity they weren't, but maybe it's just as well.

It looks like all the characters continued their career in some capacity as it looks like they were promoted from the end of the 6th movie. But I just see the final ending as them passing on the torch to the next generation which I think seems fitting, not that it was the actual end of them. And I think they can still go on their own adventures or camping trips

He mind melds the female Vulcan to find out where the peace treaty who was part of the whole betrayal. It makes me feel uncomfortable because it feels like a male dominating a female character (even though she was a bad guy). Needless to say it wasn't what I wanted as one of the last moments for Spock.
