Kirk saying i lost a brother once in reference to spock dying in the ending of the final frontier is hilarious bcos not only does it happen directly after the homoeroticism drenched "not in front of the klingons scene" but because kirk actually had a brother who died

Star Trek V really said "give me a turboshaft but give it the aesthetic of a 1989 mall.

was rewatching Trek V w @kiranerys and compared to VI, V barely puts any effort in redressing TNG sets (and some of those are they themselves repurposed from earlier movies). Usually I'll just point out the hallways,
which aside from hastily put on panels to cover the black LCARS screens and the change in turbolift cars, the rest is the same (no money to change signage on the door, carpeting,.....)
VI does a smart attempt by adding some overhead pipes and hatchways and a different lighting scheme to make it more claustrophobic.
(does it mesh with wider hallways of of wrath of khan? no. but it gets the job done).
Even the transporters get a decent redress with the blast shield and removal of the isolinear stack (and the 88-89 need for neon accents on everything)
(as covered here in more detail)
Anyhoo, all of this preamble to say that, since my childhood was watching these movies in 4:3 and V is the one I revisit the least, I didn't notice until this watch that when Scotty wakes up in Sickbay the okudgrams behind him are the TNG ones:
Something theatre audiences would see but not television ones as that would be entirely cropped out.
just hilarious that's all. Trek movies would continue to pass sets back and forth to each other as the movies kept going on but trek vi does a better job including the TNG sickbay:
(shhh it's dark so you can't tell we didn't change much and we have the right consoles above the biobeds)
The President's Ten Forward:
snazzy dark Conference room
(the glass hides the shape of the windows)

Me for the past day: I like that Kirk was yelling at the enterprise crew to warp him off the ship right up to the end. Dude might’ve copied Decker’s plan but he sure as heck wasn’t planning on dying alone on that ship.
Me about 5 minutes ago: wait a minute what did Kirk say in Star Trek 5…
Me now: OH SHIT HE ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA DIE

Two publicity stills from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
Quickie publicity sheets like this were sent to newspapers to drum up interest in the first free cable viewings of movies. The actual quality of the images is pretty abysmal; they’re definitely a copy of a print instead of being printed from a fresh negative. Still, an interesting artifact from a time before you could email 8mb .jpgs to everyone in your contacts list.
Scanned from my personal collection.

I'm rewatching Star Trek V and I never really clocked how much Scotty and Uhura were a thing. It's eye-opening (honestly tho it's actually super sweet)
