[QUOTE="dms1972, post: 73000287, member: 325736"] I think you may be right - I didn't find the Klingon general in STAR TREK 6 as convincing in his use of lines from Shakespeare. But as you say it worked in WoK. I listened to Nicolas Meyer's directors commentary on STAR TREK 2 - and liked the amount of thought he put into that film. He made it very nautical. But I don't think I knew the first few times I watched it that Khan was quoting lines from Moby Dick at the end - although it is one of the books (along with King Lear, Paradise Lost and the Bible) seen on a shelf in the Cargo Pod that they were marooned in. In all honesty I have no strong preference of one over the other when it comes to STAR TREK and STAR WARS. They are apples and oranges to me. I like both, ie. the original Trilogy of STAR WARS and the original crew of STAR TREK. STAR WARS has absolutely no relationship to our galaxy or time - it follows the mode of the fairy tale in that regard. In STAR TREK, we know when roughly it is imagined to take place - the 23rd century. One might say STAR WARS is the more mystical, STAR TREK the more rational. Each appeals for its own reasons.
