Personally, I don't watch all the Star Trek 'spin-offs" and had a hard time dealing with all the Star Trek "new" movies under JJ Abrams, who delighted in changing time lines and romantic relationships, I couldn't tell which is the actual So, be that as it may, I still think of both LTs as they were in their last movies. Obviously, Saavik getting the most attention as she was in 3 movies.

Why even talk about it if that was all cut out of the movie???? Lots of scenes end up on the cutting room floor, which may have totally changed the movie. After all, we can only discuss what was actually shown on the movie screen

Who cares? Love it, hate it!!! Does it really matter? I don't watch any of "new Star Trek spinoffs because it's really pointless. I had a hard enough time watching "Enterprise". I actually liked Star Trek 5 because it actually did take the Enterprise to a place it had never been before. Who cares whether or not the crew met GOD. Plus Jerry Goldsmith's music score was excellent, as always. With Star Trek 6, the series was complete. Good enough for me!!!

Good grief!!! Was that article written by woman??? Who cares if Alan Grant had children or didn't have any???? It's a trivial point. In the first movie, he was just glad to get off that island alive, and he saved those kids. No big deal!!! But, hardly something to write a whole article about.

I did not see that this episode had anything to do with Captain Kirk. It was an experiment. It was whether or not a machine/computer could operator as efficiently as a Starship Captain. Kirk had nothing to do with it and it was a decision made by higher authority. Even if the experiment had been successful, I doubt M-5 would have remained onboard the Enterprise, especially with Spock to point out its flaws. Spock had often done that with the Enterprise computer in playing chess.
