    Kruge’s ship is later used as a time machine (in Star Trek IV), kinda like Doc Brown’s DeLorean.

      "its a fine film"
      I think that is the problem: the company it keeps.
      Now, don't get me wrong, I've always loved it. But then, I've always loved all six of the original cast films. That said, while TSFS is a "fine film" in its own right, it isn't "great" to the degree that TWOK and TUC are. It isn't as grand in scope in TMP is. Nor does it possess the levity or uniqueness of TVH. It also lacks the notoriety (which I believe is mostly undeserved) that TFF has. Put simply, it just doesn't stand out as much, while the other five all have something that makes them pop in people's memory. Therefore, although it is a fine film in its own right, it is surrounded by films that are *more* memorable for some reason. Thus, the public perception is that the film is worse than it truly is.

      @@BTScriviner It's highly debatable if anything was stolen. I can't recall, but if Kirk actually refers to having left "his noble self" behind, there might be a legal case. If he says anything else, there was no copyright infringement, merely inspiration, which is how all art moves forward.

    Yes, Saavik does look down when first encountering Spock. But when the crew re-assembles around him after realizing that his soul has returned, Saavik looks directly at him and holds her gaze on him when he turns to her. A realization for her that she truly did the right thing in helping Spock through Pon Farr.
    Standing on the hill with Amanda in ST IV as the Klingon Bird of Prey departs Vulcan is an acknowledgment that Amanda now sees Saavik as her daughter and mother of her Grandchild.
    I suppose the only remaining mystery is when did Saavil learn that she was pregnant.

    "Common wisdom" in pop culture, and more specifically Trek fandom, is so annoying. Especially the "even movies good, odd movies bad" trend that dogs the films to this day.
    Things like this curb actual thoughtful analysis. Neither TMP or Search for Spock are anywhere near bad. Hell, TMP, especially the director's cut, is arguable the best Trek film. And while Search For Spock acts largely like a coda to Wrath of Khan without as much going on narratively, it's still a very good film and worthy of appreciation in and of itself. The first 30 minutes and the last 15 minutes are some of the best Trek films have ever been. The middle section does get a bit draggy, but it's hardly boring.
    Some of the most tender and emotional moments in the series happen in this film. Shatner does some great, subtle work here. The close up of his eye as Sarek mind melds with him is so good. There is so much emotion and pain there and Shatner sells it 100%. And the moment Bones tells Spock he doesn't know if he can handle losing him again is some god tier emotional pay-off.
