At some point they said something like "we let her be herself with the character", which is a polite way to say she was too retarded to be directed and act what she was asked to, so they let the actress do what she wanted. Meaning, maybe this character had another direction, but the actress being limited limited the character as well.
They should have made her a Luna Lovegood-type character played by a cute White girl, not a retarded and fat negress. No one wanted to know if SAM was fully functional in every way, programmed in multiple techniques, and a broad variety of pleasuring.
Kirk's log at the end of the film made it clear it was the command crew being decommissioned rather than the ship, which was barely more than a decade old at the time (maybe 15 years if we assume it was previously the Yorktown). He said Enterprise would continue on under the command of a new crew. The Enterprise herself being decommissioned after Khitomer was something retroactively canonised by Generations, when they decided they needed to have a new Enterprise for the big ship-name connection.
Alley for sure. She's got that weird repressed gremlin energy that seems to work really well for Vulcan women.
There's a non-zero chance she was thinking the same thing, given the way she was acting.
Even The Final Frontier had those great character moments between Kirk, Spoke, and Bones. It's a shame. It could have made a great two-parter in a series, but as a film it just didn't have quite enough heft.
This man speaks truth.
That's what is so funny.
Love my NX Refit, fast as fuck fully 4x dual AP heavy cannons, most fun I've ever had in that game.
The part where Kirk is telling Spock and Bones he knew he wasn't going to die from falling off the cliffside because he knew he'd die alone is honestly the best part of the movie. Shatner does a phenomenal job showing he's getting old, and if you ignore Generations, its a very sobering scene.
Sam: "Do you want to find out just how I am programmed in multiple techniques and a broad variety of pleasuring?"
I can’t get over Curzon and that ridiculous Chris Walken cut he’s rocking.
Jake sends such a message just so his dad will finally pay attention to him again, but just like his father's proclamations of love, his threats are empty and Jake is left alone. Again.
