Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I still have not heard anything about the designing, building and filming of the Excelsior bridge in STIII. Do you have anything to share on that?

I do indeed. Hopefully I will be able to get to it as I move through the various Star Trek movies.

Great presentation, as usual Jim. I was listening to an interview with Blackie Lawless (W.A.S.P.). The other day. He said when they were doing the photo shoot, for their debut album (It debuted in 1984.). One of the Star Trek sets was next door. Filming had just completed, on Star Trek lll. Lawless said he spoke with Leonard Nimoy. He asked if they could use the set, for their photo shot. He said Leonard Nimoy was very gracious and accommodating, and let them use the set. I thought that was a cool story. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your channel.

7:08 Leonard Nimoy had also directed at least one episode of T. J. Hooker, William Shatner's cop show, before he directed ST3.

What a lovely and neat set. I love the 80s era Press Kits.

My two picks from the Genesis Trilogy are The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock, which I like to watch back to back. I was born when The Voyage Home came out in theaters.

The Alley/Curtis thing is weird. I have to side with Alley. _It was an un-forced error by Bennett and Nimoy IMHO._ Alley loved Star Trek and if they had actually negotiated they would have come to a reasonable price. Nimoy's explanation really doesn't hold water for me. 1) As you become famous you don't get paid less than your first film. That is very common. She had greatly increased her number of credits between 1982-1984. 2) The screen-time difference is a poor excuse. Whereas the run-time is about the same for her character being in a scene, much of that in TWOK was Saavik on the bridge with everyone else, she was only the focus of a couple scenes. In TSFS, she was the primary character in a lot of scenes. Saavik carries all the Genesis scenes. To say her screen-time is less in TSFS is highly disingenuous of Nimoy, unless the script was greatly altered by the casting change. TSFS ran under-budget. They absolutely could have paid her commiserate with her increased experience and for carrying more scenes.

Alley was not a major celebrity until after 1987. 2 things happened in 1987 that WEREN'T in her resume prior to then -- 1) Summer School, which probably got her "in the door" moreso than Trek II and led to Look Who's Talking (1989, first of a trilogy co-starring John Travolta and various known actors in speaking roles), and more importantly, 2) Cheers, where she replaced Shelley Long after she left that series the previous season. This was huge... probably the pivotal point in her career that really established Alley's career. Cheers was the biggest NBC comedy of its time! Prior to Cheers and Summer School, there's really not much that stands out in Alley's career aside from Star Trek II (1982). To be honest, I don't think there's a lot of actresses aside from Sigourney Weaver (Alien) and Linda Hamilton (Terminator) whose careers have benefited from starring in science fiction features because science fiction features don't generally have as much high-energy action and firepower as straight-up action features (unless they're Star Wars). Alien and Terminator are action films with trappings of science fiction. I don't think any Star Trek feature film has been a huge boost to any actress's career thus far. It was comedy that made Kirstie Alley's career and legacy, not Star Trek! At this point, unless you're a hardcore original era Star Trek fan, barely anyone remembers Kirstie Alley was in Star Trek II!

@@AvengerII I didn't say she was a big celebrity, just had more credits, and carrying a larger role in Star Trek III. If anything, around the same amount of money as TWOK is warranted, but not less by any measure.

Star Trek III was Nimoy's 5th time as a director.

Correct! But his first time directing a motion picture for theatrical release was ST3. Sent from my iPad
