masterofmidgetsThings About Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home That Are Awesome:
1. Kirk/Spock/McCoy - is the Trek threesome of my heart, and this movie did nothing to dissuade me of that opinion. It was full of Kirk and McCoy being married, McCoy trying to get Spock to confide in him, and Kirk teasing Spock and then being sad Spock doesn't love him anymore since he got dead. But then by the end they do love each other, and they prove it with math.
2. Chekov and Sulu's matching leather coats. Not only are they sexy as all hell (Chekov even has leather trousers to go with his, and I wholeheartedly approve of that), but it leads to believe that, like many couples, they share each other's clothes.
3. SPOCK SWEARING OMG IT IS AMAZING.
4. Kirk telling a girl that Spock is a former hippie from Berkeley who did too much LSD in the 60s.
5. Chekov's mad dash through a nuclear submarine after he escapes from an interrogation room (where he is being questioned because they think he is a filthy commie dog, obv) by chucking his phaser at a soldier's head and running away. Oh Chekov, never ever change. Although I do have to wonder why he is the one who is always getting kidnapped and tortured and falling off piers and hitting his head.
6. McCoy being grumpy about 20th century medicine. I love grumpy!McCoy.
7. Sulu flying a helicopter.
8. Uhura. This movie needed about 1000x more Uhura than it had (what movie doesn't?) but the bits she was in were consistently awesome. Also, I have such a girl!crush on Nichelle Nichols.
9. The moment at the end with Spock and Sarek, which was simultaneously both very Vulcan and very touching - they managed to convey, without ever talking about or displaying any actual emotions, how deeply they care for each other, and it made me quite happy.
Also I think there was supposed to be a plot or something, there were whales involved maybe? but it was ridiculous so I focused my attention on more important things, like counting how many times Sulu and Chekov were on screen together and how many times McCoy gave someone the bitch!face. Still, YOU SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE.
