Yeah, my favorite Trek movie is “The One With the Whales”.
He said they had to use the legal name but then kept talking about some journey home or something. The legal name is "the one with the whales".
it's a joke....
@@winter5774 Indeed
The worst is the one with the question we all were no doubt asking: "What does God need with a star ship?".
Mine too
The excitement at this video elicited a colorful metaphor.
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Stop taking so much LDS
they are not the hell your whales
This is a wholesome chat. You guys like pizza?
Yes. And so do you.
I was a teenager in San Francisco when this was being filmed and covered by the local news. Awesome times.
This film holds a special place in my heart as it was the first Star Trek film I got to watch in the theatres with my parents. My mom was so excited for it and even more excited to find out that it's success got ST:TNG the green light. While I'm not a big trekkie like my mom is, I still enjoy watching this movie. Fond memories.
This is the first Star Trek film I saw in theaters and loved it.
Very cool, thanks for sharing this memory.
I saw the motion picture as a Xmas treat in NY but yes, this film moved me
I like the condolences from Cast and Crew to the Challenger. Also i like they kept the promise to let the Chanllenger live on ---- as Geordis ship
A little funfact about real lifes Challengers "teacher in space programm". Alongside Christa McAuliffe, the teacher Barbara Morgan also trained for the flight. It was by pure choise that Auliffe would end up on the Challenger and Morgan on the Endeavour. However, after Challenger, the "programm" was stopped until to 2007. Barbara Morgan started to space, on 8th August 2007. Making her the longest serving Astronaut with 21 ! years between first training and first flight.
"Challenger".
A not so fun fact... The crew did NOT die when the Challenger exploded. Several members were still alive as the shuttle fell and died on impact with the Ocean.
There was an inquiry done by the government and this news was released some time later, but it was buried deep in the papers. The myth that they all died in the explosion persists to this day. How do they know some crewmembers were still alive? They radioed an SOS after the explosion.
The special effects really hold up well in this film, especially the whale models.
Novelizations are generally based on early shooting scripts, not the final script and certainly not the cut/filmed version. So often there are little gems and hidden vignette that never make it to the filmed version. This is obviously so the novel can be released simultaneously with the film.
The three that stand out from Vonda's treatment.
1 - Akira Sulu
2 - Kirk uses a Vulcan neck pinch in the hospital, looks down at his hand, and exclaims, that worked, that never worked before.
3 - Scotty is well aware that Dr. Nichols actually did invent Transparent Aluminum, and so he presumes that providing the formula is simply your everyday predestination paradox.
4 - Spock ate chocolate and got intoxicated
The scene with the transparent aluminum has always been a favorite, Not now Madeline!!
Star Trek VI was what got me into Star Trek, followed swiftly by Next Gen. I had no idea the two were so intrinsically linked. Really cool 👍. Thanks, Seán!
You mean you started with IV me too. But my next film to see was 5 in theaters.
It's obvious, with the name " Star Trek " they have to be connected somehow.
YAY! I asked for this list after Star Trek III's top 20, now here it is! So bloody awesome! Looking forward to The Voyage Home: Star Trek IV, Part II.
make it so!
I remember watching the Challenger shuttle. Live on tv with my father. Such a tragedy.
My dad and I watched that too. I was 5 or 6 and very confused.
Six Flags Over Ga. even eliminated a ride named the Challenger due to the tragedy. I'm glad they did.
My friend and I knew it was all BS back then long before the internet proved us right.
In Germany the Titel is „Zurück in die Gegenwart“, which could be translated as „Back to the Present“. You see what reference they tried in the promotion process? 🖖🏻
Not to forget Quantum Leap, which you in Germany call "Zurück in die Vergangenheit" (Back to the Past).
@@syntrilliumc.e.p.9326 Still better then "Todesstrahlen aus den Weltall (Deathrays from Outer Space)" for the Toho WW3 movie "The Last War"
7:47 What? No, no, no! Rebecca Romjin must play both parts; Number One AND Nurse Chapel!
(I'm kidding. No, she mustn't. 😊)
I just call it "Star Trek IV: Save the Whales!", cos, y'know, that was on bumper stickers all over the plac in the 80s and 90s... :P
So, I'm guessing the whole "PREGNANT" thing from the thumbnail is in part 2?
Star Trek 4 also brought in a whole new audience. It expanded the Star Trek universe from the usual audience to bringing in save the wale activists
Admiral, there be whales here!
Aw man I read the novel when I was like 9. When you mentioned it I teared up a little. ❤️
Here I am looking for part 2 without recognizing that part 1 was released only hours earlier.
been waiting anxiously for this one 😍 forever my fave Trek movie
Shut out Seán for his top work churning out so many videos recently! From a fellow Irishman!
Great information!!!
yay good job as ever!
Where did that giant Tube-thing come from? I always assumed it was made and piloted by super advanced humpbacks. Did they colonise earth eons ago but miss the dangerous humans evolving on land when they picked earth as a colony and thought it would be safe?
ask Cetacean Ops
I always though it was a tall boy beer can with aluminum foil wrapped around it.
Star Trek "science" vs. real science. The closest land mammal to which whales are related to are hippopotamuses (evolutionarily speaking). And neither whales nor hippos have the requisite manipulable appendages like hands, fingers, etc. to use the tools necessary to construct a spaceship.
@@eq1373 That is now NASA does their special effects. See the CZcams channel DITRH
I assume that, even though you usually only do it on up or down videos, there will be a cetacean observations in part 2. Cause you know, whales.
So where's the bit about Saavik being pregnant? I smell clickbate :(
I would assume in part 2. Maybe they split it in to 2 parts after the fact
She did the Pon Far with Spock as a teenager before the planet blew up. How could this be David Marcus’s child? David Marcus fought to protect the group but I don’t know if he was protecting his mate. We don’t see any scene showing that they were a couple. I would say that if she got pregnant on the planet it would be Spock’s not David’s.
If not mentioned...Ana De Armas redux ~ 😒
@@xowishuwereherex Saavik and David had sex in the novel.
Fascinating.
Great film!
The Challenger disaster, my slightly younger little brother watched it live in High School.
pregnant? the reason i clicked? savik?did i blink and miss it?
She did fuck Spock in the previous film. 🖖
Very misleading, why put that imagine as the thumbnail and not talk about it
Okay you got me, been watching as a non subscriber for months, you finally got me th subscribe. :)
I did not know that about Akira Sulu
Read the novel. It's a cute scene.
Star Trek VI: Now with added Whales!
3:25 When that started sliding on screen, I was thinking
when did they do a christmas movie? lol santa suits
Ah, so actually should we be calling it "Star Trek IV: The One With No Real Whales"...?!
I like how Scotty changed history with no care to the butterfly effect when he gave them the chemical formula for transparent aluminum.
_"How do we know that he didn't invent the damn thing?" - Montgomery Scott_
"the one with the whales" i called it "the one with a flying space turd with a dingleberry" :P
lol
Your comment made me laugh out loud😂😂😂😂
@@spockgirltrekkie8226 lol well it is lol
There's MORE? Bloody hell!
Where's the second part and I'm following you on Twitter
I still think it is a small sin that Star Trek Stopped putting in the dedications to other space disasters. It could have been the thing like, something bad happens and a Trek film happens to be coming out? lets address it.. but sigh nope.
I thought you might find this interesting if you ever do a Star Trek beyond version when it shows the Ambassador Spock thing obviously Spock the original Spock has died the young Spock is looking at this thing it says 2230.06 start date then it says to 2263.02 now that doesn't make sense if you do the math.
She's carrying David Marcus's child that would be Kirk's grandchild
No, it was actually Spock's.
I think the idea is that she's pregnant with Spock's child. In The Search for Spock she had to help Spock when he underwent Pon Farr. As we learn in Amok Time, Pon Farr was fatal unless resolved, and the only way to overcome the Pon Farr was either through a "Passion Fight" with another male or through sexual intercourse with a female. I think it's highly unlikely that Spock fought against David to release his urges. Thus, the only real way to resolve the issue is to assume that Saavik had sex with Spock to help him survive. Many fans assume that Saavik didn't return with Kirk and company to Earth because she was pregnant with Spock's child.
@@ameliashephard2876
If you read the book you'll find out it was David Marcus Kirk's son. They talk about it in the book.
@@davidusler4956 Book is irrelevant; only what appears on SCREEN is recognized.
@@bonghunezhou5051
Books are extremely relevant, they going to more detail then the movie does. The movie didn't tell you anything about her being pregnant...
Still a good movie after all these years.
I pretend Star Trek V didn't happen and instead fill that void with Galaxy Quest.
right there with you
Galaxy Quest should be canon.
Did they ever say where the whale probe came from in any Star Trek lore alpha or beta cannon?
LOL when you show that scene from STV with Kirk on the cliff wall you can totally tell it's fiberglass. You can actually see the fiberglass fibers in the fiberglass matte. And it's just too shinny. Such power set building. Also the Enterprise turbo shaft. When they are going up the ladder you can actually see the set walls moving.
What about Commander Chapel in the Voyager episode where it shows Tuvok on Sulu's ship during VI?
That was Rand, not Chapel. Grace Lee Whitney played Commander Rand not as a dewy-eyed yeoman or confused transporter officer, but as bitchy commander who obviously did not like Tuvok.
(sorry, I realize now you meant in the movie, not in the Voyager episode; I don't remember seeing her in that movie)
Do not place ads mid sentence if you want us to watch them long enough for you to get paid
What sold it for me, was being directed by Leonard Nimoy!
I recently realized that "cetaceans" are whales, dolphins, and porpoises with teeth. Why in the Grethor are there so many exhibits and stuff at the Cetacean Institute for humpbacks and other baleen whales? That'd be like having cows at a Tiger museum
Phase 2 didn't "fail to gain traction." In 1977 with the success of Star Wars, Paramount realized they were sitting on a hot property with the Star Trek series and decided to make Star Trek TMP instead.
Perhaps, you need to ask the older Star Trek fans. They know stuff n things.
Also, why did you tease a fact in the thumbnail, without mentioning that fact?
So, when I saw this movie in the theaters it contained a trailer for Next Generation that included shots that would be included in the credits. So it couldnt have greenlit that show, it was already in progress.
Star Trek V is a good movie
Talking straight brutha ST 4 basically had Kirk and crew hang out with "us" in our century having a few beers
I've never called it "The one with the whales".
Wow
Spock to Savik: "I'll call you."
This is my fav Star Trek movie also. Kill me now
It's called Pon Farr 😄 Spock knocked up Savvik...it was that or die 🤣
I wonder if Vulcans have child support? 😄
Why wouldn't they? It would be dishonorable not to, since it's not the child's fault how it was conceived or who its parents were.
Yes, hahaha 😄
You mean those whales were not real! I dont believe it the next thing i know your going to say they weren’t really in space.
Apparently the first dumbledore actor thought fawkes was a real bird, just not a phoenix
Always have to get in a snipe at star trek V it was a great film.
I always thought the prob looked like a cigarette.
Will Part 2 be where we get to the things I didn't already know?
Bring back the belt buckle communicators.
The one with the whales indeed...
I want to see spokes child .
With her punfar happened with no soul so does the baby have one from her .
What and where is Spock's child she looked away knowing she was with child
Star Trek IV: The Greenpeace Commercial
I hope they mention that the probe was a reused prop from a failed Rama movie~
The "reigns" to Star Trek V? Like the Shat lorded over the film or something? I'm confused.
Yep. The host needs a spell/grammar-checker to edit these videos.
It's "reins."
It's not known as "the one with the whales". It's also known as "Star Trek: Save the Whales". Sheesh.
Star Trek IV: The one with the flying blood sausage.
Savik was not pregnant by anyone let alone Spock.
Yay, whales!!!
@5:05 Reins, not reigns.
No one calls it The one with the whale. Most be a UK thing!
Reins. Not "reigns"
Meh, she was a pon far cradle robber and Spock was hitting puberty. Plus, Spock would've died, again. I thought this was common knowledge? The big question is - Where's Spock kid...
Rude, to tease the Saavik pregnancy and not get into it in this video.
I like Star Trek 5
I told my gf once that she looked like the Vulcan chick from IV. She dumped me.
I thought they just rubbed fingers. Do Vulcans get pregnant that easily? That would be inconvenient.
This is why I should not watch the next video. You spoiled the magic 😂😮😭
cough "reins" cough
Hey, what gives with the thumbnail?
I can’t tell you apart from Adam, are you the same person?
I'll never understand why they choose Robin Curtis to replace Kirstie Alley. Kirstie in those days would have had guys lining up to get her pregnant. Robin, not so much.
Kirstie demanded way too much money (more than De Kelly, allegedly), or was not interested in returning to a 'genre' film.
Reins, not reigns.
The content is so poor these days, its like sean ferwick is presenting every single video. What happened to the other presenters??
Mary Wiseman will play Gracey in the remake.
Sure it won't be woopie?
