Talk:Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country/archive

The first two items in Background Information sound like they belong in Star Trek IV not Star Trek VI. Could this be a mistake by the person who placed it in the article? --TOSrules 07:30, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I've roughly figured out the time of of the month for Star Trek VI. It takes place between the 18th to the 23ed of an unnamed month. The president can be thanked for this little tidbit, in his speech he said "As I imagine this work will occupy us threw out most of the week, it is my hope that the delegations can return to there capitols by the First of Next month". Tracking back a literal week the movie would have ended on the 23ed, give or take a day. Tracking within the movie would suggest that it may have begun on the 18th, Minus the Opening scene.

There's no point in including it without a month. I have removed it. And your logic is flawed. The full quote is "As I imagine this work will occupy us throughout most of the week, it is my hope that the delegations can return to their capitals to implement the conditions of Phase One (italics mine) no later than the first of next month". Phase One is preparation for evacuation of Qo'nos, so those conditions are to be met by the 1st of the following month. Doesn't mean that that date is a week away. -- Michael Warren | Talk 22:07, Aug 23, 2004 (CEST)

"return to there capitol to BEGIN implementing the previsions of Phase 1" You are not going to wait a week or two to BEGIN to implement the previsions of Phase 1. TOSrules | Talk 13:13, 23 Aug 2004 (PST)

There is no "begin" in the line. I've just checked. The point stands. -- Michael Warren | Talk 22:18, Aug 23, 2004 (CEST)

Besides, the movie spans a few months (something they missed in VOY:"Flashback").. Spock states Excelsior monitored Praxis exploding a matter of months before the command briefing, Flashback places it immediately concurrent. So if its any consolation, ST6 probably occupies the 18th through 23rd of two or three months--Captain Mike K. Bartel 23:17, 23 Aug 2004 (CEST)

See, I forgot that too... "Two months ago, a Federation starship monitored a large explosion on the Klingon moon, Praxis." Ta for reminding me. -- Michael Warren | Talk 23:23, Aug 23, 2004 (CEST)

Brass tacks, President says this work will occupy them threw out the most of the week, He also says he hopes they will be able to return to there capitols by the first of next month so they can implement the prevision of Phase 1. This is basic cannon, The Presidents Estimate for returning to the capitol by the first of next month is based off his idea that the work should a week. ALL Cannon, and exacting. Basically a small margin for Error. TOSrules | Talk 02:18, 23 Aug 2004 (PST)

Backround Information

As well as Nichelle Nichols, DeForest Kelley also makes his last Trek appearance here. Tough Little Ship 19:16, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Leonard Nimoy would also have made his last appearances here as well, as Unification was filmed before Trek VI wasn't it? Tough Little Ship 20:25, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Ooh, good catch... --Shran 20:47, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Wrong Film.

In Background Information, you say:

Chang's description of Kirk, during his trial, as "the quintessential devil in these matters"....

This line was from Star Trek IV and spoken by John Shuck's Kingon Ambassador.

I changed it and added a pna because the background info is overwhelming with all of that info and no subsections. It needs to be organized further I think. --Vedek Dukat (Talk) 02:52, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Costume errors

It appears by the time this film was made new actors and extras got whatever uniform pieces fit - whether they matched or not. Tunics and jacket straps don't match and rank pins don't match the ranks for the characters wearing them. Why, for example, is Valeris wearing red "trainee" tunic under her sciences uniform?--GreatBear 09:25, 22 Dec 2005 (UTC)
