Or were shot for a solid thirty seconds, perhaps.

I don't know if this is in the novel, but I got the impression that it was also where they were shot. Maybe being hit at extreme range in, say, the temple might do it.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I'd imagine if you got stunned in the temple or down the throat, you'd be history as well.
...or if they did ya "buckwheats" style and shot you up your asshole.

quote:Originally posted by MrNeutron: Okay, so I watched the film and the extras. Here's my quick rundown:
FILM. This is essentially the version we've seen for years, including the extra scenes not in the original theatrical release (Operation Retrieve, Spock, Scotty and Valeris in the torpedo bay, the revelation that the "Klingon" assassin is Colonet West).
If you compare this film to the previous Trek SEs you'll notice the size of the letterbox bars is smaller. This is due to the format Meyer shot on, which is a slightly different aspect ratio to the other films.
Meyer did do a few small edits, though. The ones I noticed are: 1. Added a wide shot of the officer's mess at the start of the scene where Scotty discovers the uniforms.
I have that in my video version that you got in the wide-screen boxed set. Scotty's on the very left reading his 'schematics'.

Actually its a nice piece of continuity/a funny considering for the whole 25 years? of Chekov he was the one to CONSTANTLY point out the obvious in most situations.

I remember an interview with Michael Dorn about Star Trek VI - and he said the spent a fair amount of time filming an impressive scene at the Khitomer Conference with all the various parties entering in full regalia etc. So is this not on the DVD?????????????? That's rediculous if it isn't.

Have you seen the Special Edition DVD for sale anywhere yet, AndrewR? It was supposedly released in Australia yesterday but none of my local shops seem to have it yet.

I remember that scene (or parts thereof). It features the President walking in with his wife... I guess the scene was on the 'standard' STVI DVD or something?
Sadly, like in most Trek movies, a lot of effort was put into designing great aliens, but they were barely glimpsed, and apparently not documented at all...

No I haven't seen it yet, but I haven't exactly been looking - I only realised that we should at least have ST:V SE on DVD now... bit behind!

Don't remember the wife bit!! (Well at least on the video - funny that they should add it in for the non SE version DVD)
Michael Dorn said it was an elaborate scene that took all day to film and they announced the arrival of each 'government'. Must have been a lot of film on the editing room floor, as the only 'entrance' we get is a matte shot of a Fed and Klingon outside the auditorium-cum-rebel-borg headquarters-cum-some-library.
