      Spock’s death and the destruction of the _Enterprise_ in the next film was the Red Wedding of _Star Trek._ Or Dumbledore’s death in _Harry Potter._ The “subverting of expectations” thing. But it might have been more shocking than that because it never even crossed our minds that Spock might die saving the _Enterprise_ and that the _Enterprise_ might be destroyed to save Spock.

    Honestly, Shatner's portrayal of Kirk has been unfairly caricatured as over-acting in the TOS. One rewatching TOS last year, I was actually struck by how restrained his portrayal of Kirk is. Kirk is a thoughtful, caring leader. He is confident, but not overbearing. Brash when he needs to be, but *very* cautious with lives and the Enterprise. Sure, there are a few scenes where he hams it up because the script call for it, but otherwise he did fine. He gets more hammy in Star Trek V and VI, and especially Generations. I think Star Trek II is his best performance as Kirk.

      In defense of Star Wars, prior to the annexation of the franchise by Disney and the mistake of putting Kathleen Kennedy at the helm, the franchise did grow up to accomplish things other than plain good and evil issues. That was the beauty of The Expanded Universe novels which Disney chose to ignore.
      However the philosophy is in the titles. As its title dictates, at its core Star Trek is about exploration. While in contrast Star Wars it is about conflict.

      Execution will be the proper word for what happened to Star Wars under Disney and Kathleen Kennedy.
      Both Star Wars and Star Trek are victims of the current agenda which UA-cam critic The Critical Drinker has termed "The Message". For details I recommend looking at his channel but you're already seeing part of what the message entails with your mention of Star Trek Discovery Picard season 1 and 2 and Strange New Worlds.
      But back on topic of what you would mention regarding morality. Some time ago, I came across information that stated that Star Trek 2 was not liked by Gene Roddenberry because of the fact the resolution in the movie was a battle and not a diplomatic solution which were the core of many if not all of his stories in the original series.
      I found that disappointing. Star Trek The wrath of Khan was good because not only did it have the space battles that everyone loves but it also showed the morality that's always been display by the original series when Kirk ceased hostilities after disabling The Reliant.
      Morality In Star Wars is a little bit more tricky and extremely difficult since it depends solely on individuals rather than organizations. And many times that morality comes in conflict with those organizations, with that appearing most spectacular within the Jedi where you have individual Jedi who are more moral than the entire Order.
      On a side note, I know that whenever the EU is mention the first thing out of everyone's mouth is The Thrawn Trilogy. While it is good , I still have yet to read it, there was also the Darth Bane trilogy which should be recommended has an example of how morality works out in The Lucasian Galaxy. And quite honestly it was Star Wars mature enough to give me back into the franchise many years ago when I left it.

      Glad you're considering a crack at the original series (a.k.a. TOS). As you note, there are quite a few episodes, and if everyone is honest here, we can agree there are some klunkers.
      It may be a good idea to poll your Patreon supporters for their top 10 or 20 episodes to find the top 10 most people cite. There is no season long arc to worry about getting things out of order, and only The Menagerie parts 1 & 2 (which would be in my list) need to be seen in sequence. Other episodes ony short list, in no particular order:
      1. The Corbomite Maneuver
      2. Balance of Terror
      3. The Conscience of the King
      4. The Galileo Seven
      5. The Doomsday Machine
      6. The Devil in the Dark
      7. The Trouble with Tribbles
      8. The City on the Edge of Forever (at the top of a lot of favorite episodes lists)
      9. Amok Time (gives an insight into Vulcan culture)
      10. The Changeling (only if you want to compare it to the first Star Trek movie)
      11. Journey to Babel (insight into Spock's family dynamic)
      There are a couple others (e.g. Metamorphosis, which I believe won an Emmy) that I considered adding. Because I found myself considering, I didn't.
      Season three has some interesting titles, which (sadly) are more interesting than the corresponding episodes.

I can assure you that this series was very groundbreaking for the time and was the first major tv series to be filmed entirely in color from start to finish. Somewhere between that first episode and today, Star Trek has become the most successful television franchise of all time. If you like good sci-fi like myself, you can feel confident that the original series will deliver most of the time. The biggest thing to remember about the original series is it's heart, which you will find out for yourself as each episode passes to the next.

Clarke ("2001: a Space Odyssey") type, slow and plodding in places, but beautifully shot and directed, and a big "idea" movie. If you can take a movie that reads more as an art film than an actioner, you might well enjoy it.
      Also in regard to your comment about Star Wars and Star Trek being apples and oranges: yup. Star Wars is strictly an example of "Space Opera" where Star Trek is hard science fiction, but more than that, Star Wars was about making a "Hero's Journey" sort of modern myth, where Star Trek, from the get-go, is about US, and what we might accomplish if we solve our petty problems on earth, and grow up to explore the cosmos together. As you watch the original series ("TOS"), you'll see that many episodes have important social allegories and themes, about racism, for example, or the mutual assured destruction (MAD) doctrine of the Cold War. Gene Roddenberry wanted to tell stories that made his audience think about the times in which we live.

Scotty destroyed hundreds of Klingon warships by deliberately taking advantage of a paper about weaknesses in klingon shields when in formation. The weakness was programmed into the battle sim but the paper was in error and he knew it. It had just not been removed from the sim yet.On top of that he was probably only one of a hundred people that knew of the original paper in the first place. He wiped out a large portion of the klingon fleet before the exponential spawning of klingon ships finally overcame his advantage.

I tear up every time watching that scene, and I've seen it a dozen times. Shatner is often accused of being melodramatic and over-acting. But when his voice breaks at the "his [soul] was the most human" eulogy, that conveys emotion that few actors could match. Nimoy is just as good. He never played Spock as emotionless, but played him as a character always striving to suppress his emotions. That made him believable, relatable, and a rival to Shatner for the most popular and beloved character.

    Another thing that makes this movie great is how Ricardo Montalban hit it out of the park playing Khan. When this movie came out, most people knew him as the star of Fantasy Island, a weekly network TV show filmed in Hawaii. His character of Mr. Roarke was a suave, charming wish-granter; the polar opposite of Khan. If you ever get a chance, check out an episode or two of that show. It was fun.

    I was eleven years old when The Wrath Of Khan came out and it is my favorite of all the films. I grew up watching the original series on re-runs and I loved that as well. And nothing can adequately describe being an eight-year-old boy and seeing the very first Star Trek movie in the theater in 1979. That is one of my most cherished memories. As for Spock's death, that scene never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Even though I know it is going to happen, I still cry every time. As for Khan himself, much credit to the amazing Ricardo Montalban in one of his most, if not his most, iconic roles. He was amazing as Khan. I grew up watching him play Mr. Rourke on the TV series Fantasy Island, as well as being in two of the films in The Planet Of The Apes series. He was also the villain in a made for television Wonder Woman movie in the 70's. I loved your reaction to this movie and I, for one, would love to see you react to the original series and the films. While I love all the Star Trek characters, it is the trio of Kirk, Spock and McCoy who have always been my favorites. I also truly believe that James T. Kirk is also the greatest captain in Starfleet history. Star Trek has also always made me look to the stars and imagine the possibilities of what may be out there. Really makes me wish there was a Starfleet; I would have joined that instead of the Navy. Even though the Navy was ten of the best years of my life.

As time has gone on and the original actors have aged or died, new actors have portrayed those characters, in the same way that there are multiple Macbeths or Sherlock Holmes portrayals. I don't think the original actors knew that their work would live on.

    Your right in that you can't really compare Star Wars and Star Trek, but I love both franchises and they both do things very well. It's much more uncommon, for example, to see a major space battle in Star Trek as opposed to Star Wars, so seeing one like in this movie is a treat.

    WOW!! Great Video. TWOK is my favourite movie of all time. My dad recorded it on VHS back in the early nineties and I have loved it ever since. No exaggeration I have watched this movie over 200 times. It premiered 4 years before I was born sadly and I always wished I could have seen it in the cinema. Luckily for me for my local cinema re-screened it for its 40th anniversary last year in 2022 and I was finally able to experience it on the big screen which was something I will always remember.
    This movie gets better with age. As a kid It was an exciting movie with great characters and space battles, a real good vs evil flick. The older I have gotten the more I appreciated the many subtleties and complexities that the story arc and the characters bring. It is laced with messages about morality, happiness and fulfillment, self sacrifice, friendship, parenthood and facing up to the mistakes that we make as human beings.
    It was amazing how much understanding and compassion you showed towards characters you had very little prior knowledge of. When you cried, a lot of us have cried at/with you. To watch a character with such a hard exterior like Kirk, so confident and self assured in TOS, break and look so vulnerable after the death of his best friend really hits hard.
    I always felt the scene in his ready room when he tosses his broken glasses on the table depicted his current state of mind " guilt ridden, broken and no longer fit for purpose" when David reconciles with him it gives him a huge lift and a renewed sense of purpose as a father with the genesis planet signifying new beginnings and restored optimism for the future. Beautiful Video, Great Movie, So glad i stumbled across it.

The show has comical and serious aspects at the same time.

    Since the Original Series is episodic, if you REALLY don't want to watch all the episodes, you can get away with 5-10 selected episodes, and get everything you need as far as understanding relationships, and getting necessary backstory to prep for watching the rest of the films. --- The Naked Time, Balance of Terror, Errand of Mercy, Journey to Babel, Amok Time, and The Trouble with Tribbles.
    These 6 episodes give you everything you need to know about Star Trek, if you really want to limit your exposure. They introduce all the major villains, show the relationships between the characters, and provide info to the lore. Also, they are among the most entertaining and thought-provoking episodes.
    There are other great episodes, as i'm sure people will tell you. But to really "get" Star Trek, these are the essentials. To add a few more great, but not 100% necessary episodes, City on the Edge of Forever, The Doomsday Machine, Mirror Mirror, and The Enterprise Incident are considered among the best.

    "I feel young!"
    My thoughts- the point of the Kobayashi Maru test is for Starfleet officer cadets to face death and deal with it. But Kirk never did that at the academy- he "cheated" the test because he believed he was too smart for a no-win scenario. He believed he would never have to deal with death as he has always had a trick up his sleeve... Until now.
    Now he has lost his best friend. But Spock's sacrifice has not only saved Kirk, it has forced him to go through that "no win" situation whether he wants to or not. He has been given a new lease on life. And so he feels young again now having completed that important "test" he side stepped as a cadet all those years ago.

    - Third - Star Trek movies 2, 3, & 4 are all one story arc that would answer some of the questions you have. They are meant to be watched as a trilogy - kinda like 'Lord Of The Rings'.
    *Star Trek vs. Star Wars - Yes, these are apples and oranges.*
    - Star Wars is more of an action fantasy in the guise of sci fi. Certain elements had been influenced by Star Trek but it is a completely different animal. JJ Abrams doesn't really understand Star Trek at its core and tried to convert his version into action.
    - Star Trek is closer to being more 'hard science fiction', although it is still a bit of light fantasy when compared to the real 'hard sci fi' stories. Star Trek is also heavy with social commentary. ST TOS was way ahead of its time and is a great look into the culture of the 60's.

      "JJ Abrams doesn't really understand Star Trek at its core and tried to convert his version into action."
      He's on record as saying he never "got" Star Trek and wanted to make a movie somebody like him would enjoy. (He did say that he didn't get Star Trek when he was _younger_ but it didn't seem too convincing, and of course he wasn't going to say that he didn't presently like the thing he was making a movie for.) One thing he hated were the briefing room scenes, where they were sitting around a table and discussing options on how to deal with a problem, and I frankly think that's some of the most interesting stuff in the series. Basically, he wanted to take away the contemplative aspects of Star Trek and replace them with action, lens flare, a hundred rays shooting in all directions, and people getting punched in the face with attitude... and it makes me unhappy. I really like the submarine/capital ship feel of warfare in Star Trek, where each shot means something and there's purpose and decision behind it, rather than everything zipping around and shooting all over the place in Star Wars fashion (which be exciting and fun, but it isn't Star Trek). The worst part of JJ Trek, however, is the fact that I hate Kirk. He's an obnoxious, bullheaded brat who is basically a distasteful exaggeration of a Kirk stereotype/meme, and I was actively rooting for him to die. Spock was good and Bones was great, but Kirk was absolutely insufferable, and apparently this is a softened version, because I read that in initial screen tests, audiences felt Kirk was unlikable, and so they went back and tweaked things to try to alleviate the problem. I shudder to think how irritating he originally was. I honestly have trouble getting into Chris Pine in any role now, because I have this strong knee-jerk response against him due to his portrayal of Kirk (even though it really wasn't his fault and he was just working with the script he was given). Abrams is a good director from the stand point of quick, exciting pacing and keeping things interesting, but I strong disagree with choices when it comes to his influence on the story, and you can even look at The Rise of Skywalker, something he's much better suited to, to see how he can capture your attention and make things interesting moment-to-moment, while completely ruining a movie with stupid, nonsensical plot and creating narrative arcs that are shallow and really don't work. Abrams makes dumb movies that are much more enjoyable if you turn your brain off and don't think too much, because if you do, the flaws will eat away at your amusement. And he had absolutely no business having anything to do with Star Trek.

      JJ Abrams is also ridiculed for his 'mystery box' approach to writing. He can introduce questions just for the sake of introducing questions. It can keep the viewers' minds busy with speculations that later turn out completely pointless, going nowhere.
      One good example of this was the character Finn in Star Wars 7. Finn had great potential to be an interesting character with a proper character arc. Instead, Finn just meandered about in the background throughout the series.

    You got the Kirk/Spock friendship thing (I'm sure you've read this somewhere, but Kirk plus McCoy plus Spock thematically make up a whole person: logic, emotion, and the strength to bring both sides together), you got the what it's like to get older and get sidelined part of it, you got all of the metaphors, and all of the emotional beats hit you perfectly.
    Oh, and extra bonus points for you for not shitting on Shatner's acting. A lot of us love it for exactly the reason that you did. He's a really good actor, and inhabits Kirk in a way that people sense Shatner haven't been able to do.

    I've found Star Trek to be very worthwhile and it's been a big influence on my thinking.
    If you decide to continue by watching the original series then I'd be there for it.

      If you do decide to watch the original series, you don't have to watch every single episode in order (or at all)-although don't let me talk you out of it if that's your plan. Like most TV series from that era, every episode is a standalone, with the exception of the two-parter "The Menagerie."

    It is nice to see a young lady like you appreciate watching Star Trek movies. Yes! An Admiral (James Tiberius Kirk ) is a similar level rank to the same level as a General in the army. An Admiral has top authority over all officers in the Air Force and Navy defense forces today.

    You seem to be really enjoying the Trek universe so far so I say continue. I can't speak for others but I'll definitely keep up and watch your videos. Star Trek is a grand and very rich universe that you'll probably get a lot out of. It's all about the characters, their relationships with each other, and the morality dilemmas we all face and strive for. It's a hopeful future and it's told through a broad lens. It's a human condition story and vision that we can all take inspiration from.
    Oh, and the tech is cool too 😊

    I've been a Trek fan for going on 30+ years. I probably saw this movie for the first time around then. The death of Spock always hit hard but since Leonard Nimoy himself actually died it's been extra hard.

    The original series has 79 episodes. Three seasons. You will not regret it. It's been my favorite series since I saw it as a kid when my local station began showing it in 1969 when it went into syndication.

    First, your reactions are mint - worth the price of admission. Second, your analysis taught me a thing two and I've seen this film 10 times. What a gift...and very well done! If I may suggest: have your own experience and watch what draws you to it next. The experience from our perspective spanned over many years at different stages of our lives than yours, so the experience cannot be recreated. Actually it'd be fun to go on that journey with you. I really hope you enjoy it!

      @@bunnytailsREACTS for sure! I was 13 and I missed the premiere because I actually had a stroke and was in the hospital for two weeks, but my parents bought me the cassette of the soundtrack and unlimited batteries for my Sony Walkman. Seeing the movie in the theater was my victory celebration when I was released from hospital. I think i had probably read the novel while in the hospital, which would mean that the death of Spock was spoiled for me (edit: definitely, because I can remember the descriptions by Vonda McIntyre of the radiation assaulting Spock's body), but I know I cried buckets anyway. Hope you watch Star Trek III: The Spoiler is in the Title, and Star Trek IV: the One With the Whales.

    Yes, please enter into the world of Trek. Just remember, the Original Series, or TOS, was a product of its time. And the shows were remastered in the 90's (I think), so what you'll see is a little sharper and more detailed than what we grew up with in the 60's and 70's. Nevertheless, enjoy. There will be no regrets.

    The occupied parts of the ship are the primary hull or the saucer, where living areas are, and the secondary hull, the cylinder beneath the saucer, where most of the functional departments like engineering and the shuttlebay are. The two cylinders on wing-like pylons are the engines. The idea is that they are a pair of gigantic coils that produce a field that warps spacetime, contracting space in front of the ship and expanding it behind, pushing and pulling the ship forward without actually using momentum, since the speed of light is the physical limit of momentum. Basically, instead of moving the ship, you move space by changing its shape, and that lets you get to places faster than the speed of light.
