Random Trek film post. I've been rewatching the films (1-10), and The Final Frontier was not...as bad as I remembered? I'd certainly rank it above Insurrection and Nemesis, probably Generations too. Maybe it's just because of some personal things in my life but the vision with McCoy and his father's terminal illness was really powerful. The music for the film was also quite lovely.

The cap's good, but I reckon silver leaves instead of gold would be better. It's how it's usually shown, anyway.

Final Frontier is goofy and has pacing problems (especially the endless sequence on not-Tatooine), but it's also a fun and appealing movie with a lot to love. It's just that there are a few things like mountain climbing and rocket boots that never should have made it to the final draft and that's a lot of what people remember.

It's goofy, and definitely qualifies as the worst TOS-era movie. But the Final Frontier isn't quite as bad as it's made out to be. The themes are pretty ambitious: finding God, the path to enlightenment. The main problem is that the movie weaves a story together but doesn't connect it coherently. Whereas The Wrath of Khan's disparate themes came together into a multi-layered story, The Final Frontier is disjointed and poorly written. You're right, though: the Bones' father scene is probably the best one in the film. Even bad movies can sometimes have a lot of hidden depth.

The camping and bonding over marshmelons are the only good parts, actually.

Hearing Picard say "a highly unusual project undertaken by Commander Data" made me laugh so much I had to pause it. I don't know if this is actually as hilarious as it feels or I'm just in a mood tonight

Considering Data's apparent devotion to gender norms, I wonder if Data would have made Lal taller if it had decided to be male.

I think he's supposed to be the same age, which is fifteen years old at the beginning of the series.

"For Lal, makeup designer Michael Westmore did a plaster cast of my entire body, done in sections. The body of the costume consisted only of latex buns and an angular bra that was glued on, plus metallic contact lenses. The rest was naked me sprayed with metallic gold paint. Then Michael did his wonderfully creative sculpturing of the face in latex. I was very honored to read that Michael Westmore considered it one of his best efforts."

Unless you're a filthy AI/android. Then they're going to have a scientist petition to dissect you at least once every season or so.
