McCoy, since he often served as looking at the goings-on from the audience's perspective, often got stuck carrying the heavy load of exposition. His monologue in STIV is probably one of the best examples of the form in any movie:

Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga, who wrote Generations, were simultaneously writing the tv series finale "All Good Things."

No problem with them being action movies, but even action movies have to adhere to some genre/franchise rules. And hopefully have a plot of some kind. You don't stick 50's Cadillac fins on a car in the F&F franchise.

It was also awesome when American poet Delmore Schwartz said in 1959.

You talk about *character* and point to Into Darkness as superior to Beyond? At least there was dialogue and development in Beyond. Into Darkness was just a pinball machine, bouncing from one flashy noisy bumper to the next.

$11.2 million 1982 dollars is about $28 million 2016 dollars. I doubt it would cover costumes, makeup, and craft services.

In its defense, Wrath of Khan was a relatively low-budget ($11.2 million) endeavor produced by Paramount's television division. The motion picture side spent $46 million making ST:TMP.

Indeed. Star Wars VII was actually JJ Abram's Star Trek III.

Oops. I forgot.

Star Trek: Into Darkness was aggressively, egregiously, purposefully, intentionally, maliciously stupid.

Or the equally funny "How can you be deaf with ears like that?"

Alexa, thanks for the fine work this season.
