The Voyage Home -or Save the Whales, as we call it around here- is the 4th in the Star Trek film series. There are lots of reasons I don't much care for this one, but it's one of The Daughter's favorites. I don't like time travel stories and don't usually like the ST stories that go back in time. I make jokes about the number of writers involved ("too many cooks"?). One of my favorite scenes is the one in the hospital where McCoy interacts with patients and doctors. The Original Series cast is here. Mark Lenard is Sarek and Jane Wyatt is Spock's mother. Robin Curtis makes an early appearance as Saavik. Leonard Rosenman does the music.
This is easily the most absurd of the "Star Trek" stories - and yet, oddly enough, it is also the best, the funniest and the most enjoyable in simple human terms. I'm relieved that nothing like restraint or common sense stood in their way.
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.
