I like Star Trek V

I loved Star Trek V. They shot God in the face with a photon torpedo.
If I squint really hard, I can even pretend it's a good ending to Battlestar Galactica.

Just saw that for the first time two nights ago on my first-ever DS9 run. Still disturbed by mental image of Quark en-femme.Don't forget 'Profit and Lace.'
On a scale of 1 to 10. I gave it a 6. It was stupid, but it was ''FUN'' stupid, know what I mean?
Every so often I dust it off and wonder if I had been too harsh with my initial judgement of it. So I put it in the DVD player, watch it again and realise, sadly, that I was pretty much right.
Almost everything about it sucks, except the music which is great. And the 72 decks thing makes me want to kick in the tv everytime I see it.
I've got the soundtrack on CD. I play that often and enjoy it quite a bit, but viewings of the movie itself are few and far between.

Did not notice that, good catch ''Praetor''
"What does God need with a starship?"
This movie is full of win.
I can't believe how many people actually care about that. Whatever.

Seventy-eight decks.

Oh no! They're EVERYWHERE!!!!
TFF has some good scenes, some good Kirk/Spock/McCoy interactions, but it makes Sulu, Uhura, Chekov and the entire crew seem just ridiculusly weak. Sybok uses no mind control, yet they completely betray their Captain. Then being totally inept at their jobs, failing to notice a klingon bird of prey approach until it fires and blindsides them out of them watching the landing party on the bigscreen.
Oh yeah and the Enterprise being broken, the NEW Enterprise we'd been so happy to get after TSFS, not good. Not at all.
I love the bit in the lift where Kirk states that he needs a shower, and Spock turns to him, pauses, and then says "Yes".
Nice wee comedy moment.

I love those funny moments. And I love the movie.
Even better is the follow-up:
"What are you doing?"
"I'm asking a question."
"You don't ask the almighty for his ID."
And to think that they might not have had De Kelly for this outing. Due to Kelly's health, Hal Halbrook was nearly cast as a replacement.
As I have said before I like the captains chair and other bridge chairs and the shuttlecraft! Thats it!
Wait wait wait wait wait. Somehow, I've managed to never hear this before. They were going to recast Dr. McCoy?!?
I never heard that before either.

I had heard that De Kelley came pretty close to not being in the movie, but I always assumed that would have meant an extensive rewrite to do the story without McCoy in it (which is pretty hard to imagine, I grant you), but I can't believe they would have recast the role.
^I can't see it either, not at that point. Not after they'd gone to all the trouble to reuinte the original cast for The Motion Picture, and then had three more movies since then.
After talking with JKTim, I'm convinced this is bunk. Both Kelley and Nimoy were hesitant about signing onto The Final Frontier, but it was due to them having problems with the screenplay (Kelley was uncomfortable with the religious angle; Nimoy thought it plain sucked), not Kelley's health.
