After watching The Wrath of Kahn last night at a dorm party, we started
argueing about whether or not the change from 'to seek out new life' to
'to seek out new life forms' was proper. I say not because that would
seem to me that they would only be looking for non-human life and if they
did run across a planet inhabited by iguana's, they would ignore it because
we already have recorded information about iguana's. I am interested to
hear what others think about the change. (for those that don't remember,
spock said this at the end after he had died and they were showing a
space scene as he repeated the old introduction speech). Thanks...

I am interested to >hear what others think about the change. I disagree. Although the "iguana" planet might not have any "new life forms," it certainly falls under the classification of "strange, new worlds." I think that both versions say more or less the same thing. All I want to know is how they're going to manage the Enterprise's "ongoing mission." (That's not a serious request for info, btw. I hit the 'n' when I saw the ST IV synopsis, and intend to stay in the dark until opening night in December.) ------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | James D.
