can I hijack this thread a bit for some 'post your favorite Trek moments'?
Avery Brooks and Andrew Robinson are terrific together - In the Pale Moonlight is so good you could show it to someone who's never seen a second of Star Trek and it would still hold their attention.
I've seen this scene more times than I can count. James Horner is terrific. Ignore the goofy costumes; it's the future, you don't know they won't all dress like that. Perfectly encapsulates the relationship between Kirk, his crew, and his ship.
They don't make movies anymore that allow for 6 minute scenes to showcase the visuals and the composer. Jerry Goldsmith's finest hour, and he has many of them. Yes, TMP is slow and more than a little boring. But this makes up for it.
