The Starfleet commander in chief informs the stunned group that the Klingon Empire has fifty years of life left to it, before turning the meeting over to the Federation special envoy - none other than Spock. Sulu informs starfleet of the situation.Ī few months later Captain Kirk and his officers are invited to a high level Starfleet briefing. Sensors show that the moon has been largely destroyed by the explosion a message from a Klingon military officer confirms that there has been 'an incident' on the moon but refuses any offer of help. The science officer calculates the origin of the phenomenon as Praxis, a Klingon moon. When the subspace shock wave arrives it slams into the Excelsior, buffeting the ship badly but not causing any serious damage. Captain Sulu has recently completed a three year mission cataloguing gaseous anomalies and is clearly delighted with the way his ship and crew has performed. PlotlineThe film opens with a colossal explosion which sends a subspace shock wave racing out into space, before cutting to the bridge of the USS Excelsior. The only difference is regarding the electromagnetic shield around the prison! The speech made by the warden outside of the Rura Penthe dilithium mine is taken almost word for word from "War and Peace", where Rura Penthe was a prison in Siberia. Rene Auberjoinis, who plays Colonel West, would of course go on to play Odo in Deep Space Nine. The Undiscovered Country was originally supposed to be the title of Star Trek II. This is rendered even more absurd by the fact that, for the first time ever, there are prominent digital clocks mounted on the walls of the bridge, all of which display the time to the second. giving updates on the time every three or four seconds.

Okay this isn't a nit as such, but when the Enterprise is approaching Khittomer, Kirk asks Spock if they are there yet and Spock replies "Not yet, Captain. And indeed, we will see that he is still perfectly capable of being active and useful in the TNG era, when he's more than double the age he is here. Whilst that's getting on a bit for a Human, Spock is half Vulcan and can expect to live well over a century. In his quarters, Spock wonders aloud to Kirk if it's possible that "we two, you and I, have grown so old and so inflexible that we have outlived our usefulness?" Um, Spock is only sixty three. they have a weapons locker in the kitchen? Those chefs must have to deal with some really hardcore food critics! And why does Chekov, a veteran Commander with almost thirty years in space under his belt, and the ship's chief tactical officer, need this explained to him by a Lieutenant?

Worse still, these are his personal quarters - and we've seen that the doors on personal quarters don't open automatically, you have to ring a doorbell and wait for somebody inside to let you in. Huh? The doors on the ship are automatic - they open when you approach them, and then close automatically behind you, making a hissing noise each time. So when Kirk is making his log entry about not trusting the Klingons, he turns around to find Valeris standing at the door listening, prompting him to complain that she "could have knocked". Although Valeris is only a Lieutenant she is wearing a commanders insignia.
