not the whale one

[sergebroom]

Since I wanted to celebrate Labor Day without any excessive laboring, I spent many hours on Sunday scrubbing the grouting of the tole floors of the kitchen and of the bathrooms. My knees are still going thru recovery from that. Yesterday though, I took it easy. SyFy was having a Star Trek marathon of the original cast's movies. I caught the beginning and the end of "The Motionless Picture", with a gym workout and some grocery trip in the middle of it. I watched all of "The Wrath of Khan". I skipped "The Search for Spock" except for its one good scene - when the Enterprise burns thru the planet's atmosphere. I missed the whale one and the whole cast's last one, but I caught enough of universally reviled "The Final Frontier" aka "The Search for God" to begin thinking it might be better than I remembered. Heck, we got to see Uhura dancing while wearing only ferns. By the way, it feels strange to realize that I am one year older than Shatner and Nimoy were when they made that movie.

We did watch "the whale one" not that long ago, and it was a lot of fun.

I still hesitate to ever rewatch the Final Frontier, but surely it can't be as bad as ST:the Motion(less) Picture?

It has brevity, if nothing else. I thought it was interesting that Nichelle Nichols let the gray in her hair show while Shatner and Nimoy didn't.

Hey, I *like* "The Search for Spock"! It's the only odd-numbered Star Trek movie worth (re)watching.

That's ok. We still like you. :-)
