I'll say this...

VI is probably the better movie when you go looking for all the different "movie" things...
II is probably the best ever 2 hour "episode" of TOS...

Since I fell in love with the episodes first, movies second, I picked II...

Slightly off topic here, but I've been watching B5 again over the last few days, and have come to a conclusion.

Walter Koenig was massively underutilized in the Trek Franchise.  Of course, with Shatner & Nimoy getting most of the attention, that was bound to happen.

Koenig's potrayal of Bester in B5 was dead on IMHO...

Not suprised to see TWOK edging out TUC.  Both films were brilliant.  I wish that the further adventures of Captain Sulu had went somewhere, though...

When I was younger, Chekov was one of my Favorite cast members also. If you get the chance, check out Shatners "Raw Nerve" with Koenig as his guest. It is a real eye opener.

I'm quite fond of Koenig's portrayal of Bester myself but remember as Chekov in the 1960s he was relatively new to acting.  As Bester add 30 years of seasoning and he should be better.

Slightly OT, does anyone know why they dubbed Star Wars blaster SFX in for the phaser shots in the TWOK trailer?

(And why phaser is not a word in our forum spellchecker?)
