The original version of the sequence is depicted in the original hardback novelization which was changed for its paperback release to match the film.ġ4.

In the original version, Kirk was shot in the back by the deranged scientist, during a much more sedate sequence than that used in the final version, that resulted in the fateful bridge on the captain death scene. The version of the film released includes a re-shot section where Kirk and Picard come up against Soran. The actor’s nephew, the artist currently known as Alexander Siddig (previous stage name: Siddig El Fadil), had already started to play Doctor Julian Bashir in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s sixth season.ġ3. Not content with being controversial in A Clockwork Orange and Caligula, Malcolm McDowell plays Doctor Tolian Soran, who kills Captain James T Kirk near the end of the film. If Douglas Adams is right, surely the Warp Drive is redundant? Better make the use of one of them, there’s only 47 minutes until the nexus ribbon reaches the Veridian system.ġ2. One of the components is labelled Infinite Improbability Generation. On the Main Engineering set of the Enterprise-D, there is a schematic of the impulse drive system. The set hands also appear to have forgotten to change a few expired lightbulbs…ġ1. Oh, and a new carpet, just in time to wreck it. The sets were also refurbished, with the bridge gaining features that were foreshadowed, to a degree, in the episodes “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” “Parallels” (and others.) The changes included lifting the captain’s chair area up from the level of the forward stations and the addition of further duty stations to the port and starboard.

Separation of vessel components was mentioned as far back as the original series episode “The Apple,” when jettisoning the warp nacelles of the Enterprise was considered as the ship would be pulled into the planet’s atmosphere in 47 minutes.ġ0. Saucer separation was first seen in the Next Generation pilot “Encounter At Farpoint,” but was originally storyboarded for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Galaxy class starship’s little party trick of ‘routine’ saucer separation comes to the fore for the first time since Best Of Both Worlds, Part 2, this time to act as the lifeboat for the ship’s crew as first depicted in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, including a slightly less controlled version of ‘landing’ the saucer on a planet surface. The model had a minor refurbish at the end of filming too, as the effects team made a little assumption about the next Starship Enterprise…ĩ.

This is why the vessel appears a little different from the TV show in exterior shots. All new shots of the Galaxy class Enterprise NCC-1701-D were done for the film after the model was refurbished, and a limited amount of CG shots were also used. This story also marks the only time William Shatner played Kirk without Leonard Nimoy playing Spock.Ĩ. At least he bowed out saving 47 El-Aurians. This was the final filmed performance by James Doohan as Captain Montgomery ‘Scotty’ Scott, though within the chronology of Star Trek stories the character would end up visiting the Enterprise-D between the events on the Enterprise-B and D in this film. The actress recently won a special jury prize at the 2015 Sundance Film festival for her work on Advantageous.ħ. Ensign Demora Sulu (Captain Sulu’s daughter) is played by Jacqueline Joan Kim, who you may recognise from Xena: Warrior Princess as Lao Ma, and from various other smaller roles on TV. It is revealed in the Voyager episode “Flashback,” that Tuvok served aboard the USS Excelsior during the events of Star Trek VI, however.Ħ. Tim Russ appears as an officer on the Enterprise-B, but without pointed ears and eyebrow changes, so it must not be his usual Star Trek role of Tuvok, from Star Trek: Voyager. Similarly the Ambassador class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C that appeared in TNG‘s “Yesterday’s Enterprise” was a significant departure from the sculpture on the wall aboard the Galaxy class Enterprise.Ĥ. The 1701-B was different to that depicted on the wall of the Observation Lounge on the 1701-D, which showed a ‘normal’ Excelsior class, albeit in a stylised form. As a result the model was never returned to its original Excelsior configuration and appeared in it’s MK-II state, rechristened as the USS Lakota, in the Deep Space Nine episode “Paradise Lost.” All other Excelsior appearances were CG. The ploy failed when the effects team realised that the glue used to attach the extra parts had, in fact, damaged the Excelsior underneath. The Excelsior MK-II class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-B is, in fact, the original Excelsior model, from Star Trek III with extra bits added specifically designed so that they could be damaged without damaging the original model.
