The best set piece sequence out of all of the films is Stealing The Enterprise. And that's because it is positively suffused with character, brimming with stakes. Nothing, but nothing, in any of the other 12 movies (nor any of the TV series) touches that sequence (yes, that includes Countdown to Genesis). From "Thanks for the drink" "Any time." to "Good morning, Captain", it's my favourite Trek set piece ever.

I actually don't like TVH very much TBH. It's charming in a kind of hokey way, but I simply don't find the jokes funny (not my style of humor) and thus it fails for me as a comedy.

I still want to know who ate the leftover pizza Kirk took aboard the Bird-of-Prey.

Wide Fan shot is good for taking out a group of People standing around.

Needs to be used more.

 

[cooleddie74]

A spread setting/wide fan setting was also used in at least one TOS episode to take down multiple people at once.

I concur.

It happened in "A Piece of the Action," one of my favorite episodes.

Kor

 

[Farscape One]

That was the ship's phasers, which were somehow able to be set to stun. (That trick would have come in handy for a lot of things in the 24th century...)

It was, however, used in "THE RETURN OF THE ARCHONS".

 

[cooleddie74]

Yep. When Kirk, Spock and McCoy have to fire into the crowds of weapon-carrying Landru followers approaching from two different directions.

 

[Lord Garth]

Controversial Opinion: "Exploring the Human Condition" means exploring the Human Condition, not just the parts that people like or feel comfortable with. All of it. The perfect future is impossible. It can only be a better future. And that doesn't mean there won't be bumps along the way or setbacks. Sometimes colossal.

Scotty.

 

[comsol]

Scotty.

Something else to give him a sour stomach.

 

[cooleddie74]

"Was that bloody pepperoni?"

"I'm not sure. It was trying to consume the mushrooms."

 

[gweeps]

Star Trek should be more like Lexx and show their toilets.

 

[Oddish]

I think the first time anything toilet-related was mentioned was the "First Contact" movie (don't you people from the 24th century ever pee?)

 

[Grendelsbayne]

Pretty sure there was a shot of a fancy space toilet in TWOK (or was it TMP?), but it was cut out of the final film.

 

[at Quark's]

^ Some also say a toilet is shown in TNG's season 2 Q Who, in the hull section that the Borg extract. Apparently the Borg are interested in this form of advanced technology

(A screenshot can be found on the memory alpha page on 'toilet', though I'd say myself that the screenshot is just a bit too vague to claim it's a toilet for absolutely certain).

 

[F. King Daniel]

Kirk sits on a
(brig) toilet with the seat down in Final Frontier.

 

[Orphalesion]

I don't understand the wild interest some fans have in Star Trek toilets. It's not like we ever hear of how anybody relieves themselves in Star Wars, or the Lord of the Rings (though how those tree-dwelling elves solve that problem is anybody's guess). So why all the fan speculation about the toilets in Star Trek?

 

[Oddish]

Of course, Voyager's brig doesn't have a toilet. Did Tom just have to cross his legs for 30 days?
