Miller@SRI-NIC (12/16/82)
From: Henry W. Miller <Miller at SRI-NIC> Between the first and second movies, did you notice the differences in the Enterprise? 1) Kirk's quarters were much enhanced. (naturally, since Kirk just "took over" at the last minute in ST:TMP) But, in TWOK, it looked as though the stateroom was tailored to Kirk's whims. Although it was not stated, could the Enterprise be Admiral Kirk's flagship? 2) On the bridge: in the first movie, it was stand-up-and- be-shaken-apart-in-wormhole action. In TWOK, there were alcoves and workstations around the place. 3) Most important: In ST:TMP, to the right of the main engineering console, ther was a corridor that Kirk and Scotty ran out of to try to get to the transporter room to override a beamup. In TWOK, that corridor was replaced my the intermix reactor chamber in which Spock died(?) How much time did intervene between the two movies? -HWM -------

How much time elapsed between the two movies?? NONE! Nowherw in STII:TWOK did they make any mention or acknowledgement of the first movie. Evidently, whoever is Responsible For Such Things realized how bad the first film was and how widely disappointed real ST fans were with it, and just chose to pre pretend it didn't exist. Good decision, if you ask me. Matt Landau ...decvax!wjh12!mjl
