Any reference of V in VI?

[Captain59]

Is there any reference at all of what happened in The Final Frontier found in The Undiscovered Country...or at all in any Star Trek after it? When I was watching VI for the first time and Martia told Kirk and McCoy to climb, I was sure McCoy was going to say something like, "You're the mountain climber. After you."

Star Trek 5 did so bad in the theaters that I don't think they would have wanted to make any references to it in the next film so as to not remind people about it, they probably had a lets forget about it attitude.

Captain Klaa demoted to courtroom translator ?

 

[F. King Daniel]

I don't think V is ever referenced again, unless you count the Jefferies tube where Scotty bangs his head being repainted and resused in many Voyager episodes.

Discovery recycled the idea of a secret sibling for Spock.

Captain Klaa demoted to courtroom translator ?

That's right, I forgot about that.

 

[trekfan39]

Was Klaa really supposed to be the same person in 6 though? The actor was also in Star Trek 2 but we know he wasn't Klaa in that film.

True, but we know there were no Klingons in ST II. So there was of course no possibility that it would be Klaa.

ST VI was full of Klingons, and (as @Khan 2.0 pointed out) it makes sense that this character is Klaa. They don't have to spell it out. We know it's him.

It's indirectly referenced in Star Trek Beyond, with NuSpock looking at a photograph of the Enterprise-A crew and bridge from V, but that's about it.

I'm guessing Meyer just avoided referencing V because there wasn't anything of real relevance to talk about in the sequel, bearing in mind that Klaa's attacking the Enterprise wasn't ordered by the Klingons, and Kirk never actually engaged him in combat. It's also worth bearing in mind that The Motion Picture also isn't referenced at all, whereas II and IV are only referenced very fleetingly with regard to Spock's death and Kirk's demotion respectively.

But the TNG onwards writing staff certainly seemed determined not to reference V at any costs - I remember Ron Moore saying somewhere (probably with his tongue in his cheek, natch) that the only reason they didn't order Jonathan Frakes to redo the closing shot of First Contact (which was a replica of V's) was that actually doing so would have been too expensive.

the closing shot of First Contact (which was a replica of V's) .

Interesting. I didn't know that. Good point about the photograph in Beyond, too.

Speaking of First Contact, Jerry Goldsmith did start using the "A Busy Man" from TFF theme as a secondary main theme, mostly in that score, though it is also used in INS and NEM.

I'm pretty sure that's a TUC publicity shot?

The Encyclopedia says that Klaa and the interpreter are the same guy, but I seem to recall that the credits for STVI list him as "Klingon interpreter" or something like that. So I'm not sure that at the time he was supposed to be Klaa.

 

[Paradise City]

ST:V like or lump it, is essentially a standalone *episode*. It's not a piece of a larger, specific arc. Plenty of TOS episodes don't get referenced either.

 

[Paradise City]

This *seems* to be a bungled attempt to reference V in Evolution. If it is true, it's a reference that doesn't carry as we didn't see "a systems-wide technological failure" in V.

In the TNG episode "Evolution" (broadcast as the third-season premiere), it is mentioned by Lt. Commander Data that "[There] has not been a systems-wide technological failure on a starship in seventy-nine years." The episode was the very first filmed TNG installment to air following the June 1989 theatrical release of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (in September 1989), and this line of dialogue was very likely written by Michael Piller as a "nod" to the events of the most-recent movie, placing the events of the film in the year 2287 (seventy-nine years prior to the year 2366).

While that photo is from STV, I doubt they used it because they wanted to reference that movie. I think they used it just because it was a nice shot of all the crew.

It's V. You can tell because Uhura has the frosty hair.

Secret sibling for Spock??? I didn't know this was something Sarak was keeping from... everyone?

 

[Captain Clark Terrell]

It's V. You can tell because Uhura has the frosty hair.

And Sulu’s still a commander.

 

[JonnyQuest037]

Outside of the bridge set using the same basic components as V, I can't really think of anything.

Nimbus III is listed on the star chart in Generations.
