Rewatching TWOK....

[BK613]

One thing that annoyed me about TWOK was the way it sorta throws the following under the bus:

The human adventure is just beginning...

Works great as a microcosm for Trek, or at least how people think of Trek.

Well, actually I was thinking of the whole of the ending, with the band back together on their shiny new ship and heading out into the unknown.

You know, "Out there. Thataway."

They tried something science-fictiony, talky and thinky, didn't work. Next movie: must have action and a villain, clearly.

Worked for me; I saw it twice in 1979.

Just like there's room for 2001: A Space Odyssey and Predator.

You've been talking with Shane Black haven't you?

There goes the surprise. 2001 vs Predator = Predator 4.

I merged TMP and Predator in my youtube comic! Maybe I should go the whole hog and re-write Arena?
