Tonight’s viewing is:

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan

Who would have thought?

Notes:
- Totally forgot Kirstie Alley was in this movie. Hilarious.
- She’s a Vulcan? Or a Romulan? I didn’t think Romulan-Federation interaction had been solidified by that point, or if they ever were. Maybe I’m forgetting a later episode of Star Trek that dealt with that. Or supposedly she’s Vulcan-Romulan? Whatever.
- Watched “Space Seed” on cbs.com before watching this to make sure I remembered Khan’s origins correctly.
- As such (see last bullet point) I was really mad when Khan said he recognized Chekov. Damnit! Canon, people. CANON!

Today’s viewing is Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Comments about the film thus far:
- Kirk/Spock OTP
- Dr. McCoy looked like a total pimp when he first came aboard
- Spock is going through major acclimation issues. He’s been away from humanity for too long.
- Spock looked hilariously incredible with the long hair.
- I really hope that whatever our version of the Earth Federation is will end up being will be HQ’d in San Francisco.
- TNG stole the entire soundtrack of this film.
