Star Trek V: The Final Frontier/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Crack Pairing]]: Uhura and Scotty? Seriously? Granted, it probably wouldn't have been out of place in TOS or one of the earlier films, but the attraction between the two comes out of absolutely nowhere, and is never referenced again.

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: In a movie full of painful humor, Spock says this after saving Kirk:

** When Klaa blasts the Pioneer 10 probe, it emits a cartoonish shriek (?!).

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Kirk: "I thought I was dead." Spock: "Impossible. You were never alone."

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: It's a bit uncomfortable in retrospect watching the scene in which Scotty hits his head on the bulkhead (after saying "I know this ship like the back of me head!") knowing that James Doohan developed Alzheimer's disease towards the end of his life.

* [[Ho Yay]]: "Please, Captain. Not in front of the Klingons."

A: Every [[Yaoi Fangirl]] ever. }}

* [[Idiot Plot]]: Most of the movie, see [[Plot Induced Stupidity]].

*** Basically, the fact that Bran Ferren (the man behind the effects) has never been allowed near another movie to this day says it all.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: The scene with McCoy's dying father. [[DeForest Kelley]] gets to '''[[He Really Can Act (Sugar Wiki)|act]]'''.

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: Kirk meets a villain who [[Epiphany Therapy|draws out his subjects' greatest pain]], but when the time comes he won't let the guy near him, thus blowing a perfectly good opportunity to deal with the loss of his son.

** Except that was the point of the scene. That Kirk doesn't want the pain drawn out, and he doesn't want to deal with it. He wants to hold onto it, keep it. It's not the emotional response that's considered healthy in modern Western society, but it's still an entirely human and understandable one.
