re: #304 TedStriker
One of my favorite scenes from the movie is where Sulu is awakened by his comms officer (cameoed by Christian Slater), because Starfleet is asking if Excelsior knows the whereabouts of Enterprise. When Sulu tells his comms officer to tell Starfleet that they don’t know (even though he does and/or suspects that Enterprise is planning a rescue mission for Kirk and McCoy) and the comms officer double-takes, Sulu growls at him, “You have hearing problems, mister?”, to which the comms officer said, “No, sir!” and left.
I always loved that.
“Undiscovered Country” had a pretty significant problems (though it’s still my second-favorite Trek movie) but they did so right by Sulu.
