Sulu: Sometimes the Captain will do this thing, he'll try to like, sell us on Mr Spock? Like, I'll just be sitting there on the bridge with the rest of the crew, and he'll lean in and be like, "Hey, you know who's a great first officer? Mr Spock." Like, yeah, we're all on board! We love Mr Spock! You don't need to advertise for him...

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was released on June 1, 1984. Producers were reluctant to let Leonard Nimoy direct, who had never directed a feature film, but he refused to return as Spock if they didn't. The bad guys were originally going to be Romulans, but changed to Klingons. They kept the Romulan bird of prey ship instead of spending the funds to build a Klingon ship. Due to a contract pay dispute, Robin Curtis took over the role of Saavik from Kirstie Alley. In order to save the thought dead Spock and avenge Kirk's murdered son David (Merritt Butrick), James T Kirk (William Shatner), "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), "Scotty" (James Doohan) Chekov (Walter Koenig), Sulu (George Takei), and Uhura stole a decomissioned USS Enterprise. They were hunted down by Klingons lead by Kruge (Christopher Lloyd). The movie not only saw the rebirth of Spock, but it also show cased the destruction of the USS Enterprise. (Star Trek III The Search for Spock, flm, event)

my favorite thing that happens in TOS is when they encounter some weird shit and then sulu turns around to us/kirk to make sure we’re all seeing the same thing. anyways my favorite example of this is when they encounter abraham fucking lincoln.

I think it is very important for new Star Trek fans, especially new TOS fans to know that in 2008, George Takei, who played Sulu, got married to his partner of 23 years, Brad Altman, and at their wedding, Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, and Walter Koenig, who played Chekov, served as Best Lady and Best Man.
