Star Trek V and the rock man creature. What are your thoughts?

[PCz911]

I was surprised they actually filmed the rock monster – and even more so at the deleted scene about young Spock’s pain when he cries out to Sybok,”Take me with you!”

I guess Shatner was really into rocks in the script, starting with El Capitan. The curved stone monoliths that erupt from the ground on Sha Ka Ree looked like a giant rib cage…which fits with Kirk’s line at the end, tapping his own chest - “maybe God isn’t out there, maybe he’s right here, in the human heart.”

i never noticed this before….
Very interesting!

They were actually going to hire younger actors to play Young sybok and young Spock in the film the scene but they never got around to it for time or money. I actually like the scene but obviously not Leonard Nimoy pretending to be a small child.
