I am a recent hire here at Xerox, and when I saw there was a Star Trek dl I gleefully added myself to it, expecting to receive at least some messages discussing this and that about the Star Trek show, books and movies. Alas, I have not received a THING! Aren't you people going to speculate on if and how Spock will be back in Star Trek III? Granted, he will most likely be back (although all that was ever admitted was that Leonard Nimoy was contracted to DIRECT the movie), but how will it happen? These are burning questions, here! 1. Will Spock come back in the flesh, or will he pull some sort of Obi-wan Kenobi and come back in some ethereal form? 2. Can they get away with a whole movie spent just looking for Spock, with him just showing up at the end, or will they (more probably) throw some extra intergalactic nastiness in just to keep us occupied? 3. Will the crew of the ENTERPRISE be wearing ANOTHER different set of uniforms to chan ry scene? --Well? "Speculation, Spock?" --Bill--

I'll bet talents to navy beans that the Genesis device will have brought Spock back to life. We (here in So. Cal.) don't have get a weekly dose of Star Trek -- this might explain the lack of messages. LLAP, Ron

The quote i have heard from Nimoy goes approximately "Well, Spock will be back, but I won't say in what form. We couldn't have a movie titled 'The Search for Spock' and end it with Kirk saying, 'Well, I guess we didn't find him.'" 2. There is supposed to be plenty of action in this, involving fights with Klingons and stuff. 3. This movie starts shortly (the same day) after ST II ended, so I don't think there would have been time for Starfleet to issue new uniforms. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar

I saw some advanced stills. The Crew of the enterprise will be wearing yet another set of uniforms. -Ron

For those of you reading net.movies, you may wish to restrict your postings of Star Trek-related articles to net.startrek. We can expect another flood of news around the release date of ST3 so let's not clutter up another newsgroup with our specialized traffic. Thanks. > I saw some advanced stills. The Crew of the enterprise will be wearing > yet another set of uniforms. > -Ron That's not correct. The uniforms are unchanged from ST2, but the principal characters all spend a bit of time off-duty and off-ship, so you probably saw "civvies". Roger Noe ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe

First, I loved this movie. It *felt* like an episode. It *felt* like I was watching a new episode of the ST series and not a movie based on that series, and for me, that was good. Now on with the pixie hats, and the asking of silly questions and the making of silly comments: 1. I was kind of disappointed that T'Pao didn't call Spock "Tspoke" the way she did in "Amok Time". The Vulcan Vestal Virgins were definitely what I would call visually disjunctive. 2. Will the Enterprise be regenerated by the Genesis effect? Since protomatter was used in Genesis, isn't the following scenario possible? David and Kruge are regenerated, but due to a time warp caused by the protomatter they go back in time to a Los Angeles high school and the streets of New York City. David becomes a nerdy/neo-punk student, and Kruge, due to brain damage from the regeneration, becomes a derelict who later becomes a cab driver (on Square Pegs and Taxi, respectively). Don't you remember Reverend Jim saying "I used to command a spaceship" from time to time... 3. Was it EXACTLY the same destruct sequence used in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"????? 4. WHAT ABOUT THE ORGANIAN SPACE TREATY??? Didn't that "treaty", imposed by the Organians, mean that ANY violence between the Klingons and the Federation would cause the same interference by the Organians as in the original episode, or am I misinterpreting the essence of the treaty? 5. Was the opening inset scene (shown in black and white) with Spock dying in the chamber talking to Kirk *re-shot*? His \\// hand didn't slide down the glass as I remember it? 6. To add a few of my favorite quotes to Roger's: "That's what happens when you miss staff meetings." "Because the needs of the one outweighed the needs of the many." That last one really got to me. In a way, as long as we're busy drawing analogies to the SW trilogy, "the needs of ..." quotes from both movies are slightly analogous to the trading of "I love you"--"I know"s in TESB/ROTJ. 7. In "Menagerie", when Spock showed the footage of the Enterprise under Pike, the "film" was stopped with someone exclaiming "No starship keeps (kept?) such records!" Do they do so "now" (in ST3 time)? (Apparently) I'm referring to Kirk's playback of the scene from ST2 in engineering. -- AT THE TONE PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME AND NET ADDRESS. THANK YOU. Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr

# I took it as: "The needs of the One outweigh the needs of the many." ... but I'm a pretty mystical guy. I agree with Rich, this was a fine TV episode that happens to be a feature length film. That's all I ever expect, and I'm never disappointed. (Well, the first one WAS boring). And yes, there were lots of inconsistencies and illogical things and historical inaccuracies. Who cares?
