Original Star Trek Films and My Love for The Search for Spock

[kingstoken]

Today I watched the first three Star Trek films, and can I say I love them so much, but most especially Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock. You know, I think I saw, all or part of, the Wrath of Khan before, and of course the iconic scene in the radiation chamber, but I didn't really remember it, it's been too many years. The first film was more about showing off their visual effects capabilities, and the second was action packed, but the third film was a great mix of action and character driven moments. I love it so much, because it has so much heart, the whole gang working together to save Spock. They increased the parts for Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov, and really showcased their characters in ways the first two movies didn't. Their breaking out Bones from the Starfleet jail and stealing the Enterprise was a fantastic caper. I loved McCoy in this film. Everyone always talks about the Kirk & Spock relationship, and it is a huge part of the story, but so is the Bones & Spock relationship, like look at this gif



Like ah, it hits me right in the heart. Off topic, but I've been rewatching a lot of the original series this past week, and can I say that I have become a full on Spones shipper, like I always kind of shipped the triad of Kirk/Spock/Bones, but on rewatch I find myself leaning more heavily towards Spock/Bones, which I never did before, but I love their bickering like an old married couple dynamic. Anyways, if it hadn't been for this pandemic I probably wouldn't have watched these films, but I am so glad I did.
