Space the Final Frontier

I think Spock saying the legendary saying was chilling and fantastic! William Shatner saying it would've been out of place.

Shatner had no place to give the speech in this movie since he wasn't in it.

I think Nimoy was the logical and best choice for this movie's speech.

I agree. Same as Star Trek III, even though Shatner was in it, it wouldn't of made since for him to say this line since the movie was mainly a Spock movie.

I was mildly annoyed with the use of "seek out new life-forms" rather than "seek out new life" - my response to the first term is always that it's sci-fi jargon and takes the poetry out of the phrase - but I'm guessing that since Spock said it that way at the end of TWOK they thought there was some value in it.

The fact that he said "where no one" rather than "where no man" bothered me not a whit, though I'm sure that it will outrage someone.

The phrase "to seek out new lifeforms" just doesn't have the same ring to it as compared to the original "to seek out new life". It seemed to me that adding "forms" was overdoing it; it was excessive.

Nevertheless, I have always found Nimoy's use of the word "lifeforms" rather than "life" to be amusing.

I have only heard Nimoy's voiceover use that word. I have never heard Shatner's or any other ST cast's voiceover using the word "lifeforms".

This "Admiral Buzzkill" character, for example... I haven't seen him around here in quite a while. Wonder whatever happened to that guy?
