Of course, Wrath of Khan started out not looking much like the movie we actually got, it took Meyer taking the best bits of several different ideas (Genesis, David, Khan, Saavik) and blending them into one story. That would certainly have been necessary with this movie, beginning with eliminating the assassination part at the end.
"She made room for so many of us," the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star, who plays young Uhura, shared via Twitter. "She was the reminder that not only can we reach the stars, but our influence is essential to their survival. Forget shaking the table, she built it!"

"I shall have more to say about the trailblazing, incomparable Nichelle Nichols, who shared the bridge with us as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise, and who passed today at age 89. For today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend," Nichols' former costar wrote.
"Many actors become stars, but few stars can move a nation," the original Wonder Woman actress shared. "Nichelle Nichols showed us the extraordinary power of Black women and paved the way for a better future for all women in media. Thank you, Nichelle. We will miss you."
(Pulaski, La Forge, Data (wearing a dealer's shade)O'Brien and Riker are sitting down for an evening's entertainment) O'BRIEN: Hold it, that's my chair. My luck is always lousy unless Istart on the dealer's right. DATA: That would seem to be superstition. O'BRIEN: Bitter experience has taught me it's a fundamental truth. RIKER: Okay, the game is five card stud, nothing wild. Ante up. DATA: This game is exceedingly simple. With only fifty two cards,twenty one of which I will see, and four other players, there are alimited number of winning combinations. LAFORGE: There's more to this than just the cards, Data. DATA: Of course. The bets will indicate of the relative strength ofeach hand. O'BRIEN: Time to pluck a pigeon. (Kate starts the betting) PULASKI: Five. LAFORGE: I'm in. DATA: I too. RIKER: Call. (The first lot of face up cards are dealt) RIKER: A seven, and a six, and the ace. DATA: I bet ten. O'BRIEN: See that. RIKER: Call. PULASKI: Fold. LAFORGE: Yeah, me too. I'm out. (Another deal. Riker is showing the ten, Jack and five of hearts. Datahas two Queens and an Ace) DATA: I bet five. O'BRIEN: Same. RIKER: Your five. And five. (Data sees the bet) O'BRIEN: Too rich for me. (Final card) RIKER: No help. (He gives himself the four of hearts. Ooo's all round) DATA: I bet ten. RIKER: Your ten and ten. (We discover that Data has a third Queen. He looks at Riker) DATA: Is that what is known as a poker face? RIKER: Are you playing or not? DATA: I fold. (Riker's hole card was the two of spades. Busted) DATA: You had nothing! LAFORGE: He bluffed you, Data. DATA: It makes very little sense to bet when you cannot win. RIKER: But I did win. I was betting that you wouldn't call. DATA: How could you tell? PULASKI: Instinct, Data, instinct. The game is seven card high/low witha buy on the last card. And just to make it more interesting, the manwith the axe takes all.
PICARD: All right, explain this procedure. MADDOX: Ever since I first saw Data at the entrance evaluation at theStarfleet Academy, I've wanted to understand it. I became a student ofthe works of Doctor Noonien Soong, Data's creator, and I've tried tocontinue his work. I believe I am very close to the breakthrough thatwill enable me to duplicate Doctor Soong's work and replicate this. Butas a first step I must disassemble and study it. Data is going to be myguide. PICARD: Data? DATA: It sounds intriguing. RIKER: How will you proceed? MADDOX: I will run a full diagnostic on Data, evaluating the conditionof its current software. I will then dump its core memory into thestarbase mainframe computer and begin a detailed analysis of itsconstruction. DATA: You've constructed a positronic brain? MADDOX: Yes. DATA: Have you determined how the electron resistance across the neuralfilaments is to be resolved? MADDOX: Not precisely. DATA: That would seem to be a necessary first step. MADDOX: I am confident that I will find the answer once I examine thefilament links in your anterior cortex. DATA: But if the answer is not forthcoming, your model will notfunction. MADDOX: I do not anticipate any problems. RIKER: You seem a little vague on the specifics. PICARD: What are the risks to Commander Data? MADDOX: Negligible. DATA: Captain, I believe his basic research lacks the specificsnecessary to support an experiment of this magnitude. PICARD: Commander Data is a valued member of my Bridge crew. Based onwhat I've heard, I cannot allow Commander Data to submit himself tothis experiment. MADDOX: I was afraid this might be your attitude, Captain. Here areStarfleet's transfer orders separating Commander Data from theEnterprise, and reassigning it to Starbase one seventy three under mycommand. Data, I will see you in my office tomorrow at zero ninehundred hours.
PHILLIPA: My God, twice in as many days. PICARD: I need your help. PHILLIPA: An historic moment. PICARD: I have been trying to make sense of this gobbledygook, but it'sbeyond me. The fact is, my android officer, Data, is being transferredcompulsorily to be made part of a highly dangerous, ill-conceivedexperiment, and I want it stopped. PHILLIPA: He can refuse to undergo the procedure, but we can't stop thetransfer. PICARD: Once this Maddox has got control of Data, anything couldhappen. I don't trust that man. PHILLIPA: We agree to certain risks when we join Starfleet. PICARD: Yes. Acceptable risks, justified risks, but I can't acceptthis. It's unjustified. It's unfair. He has rights. PHILLIPA: All this passion over a machine? PICARD: Don't start. This is important to me. Is there an option? PHILLIPA: There is always an option. He can resign. PICARD: I see. PHILLIPA: So you came to me for help. PICARD: Yes, I came to you. You're the JAG officer for this sector. Ihad no choice but to come to you. PHILLIPA: Wait! I didn't mean it that way. I'm glad that you felt youcould, well, come to me. PICARD: The word trust just isn't in your vocabulary, is it. Good try,nine out of ten for effort. PHILLIPA: I wish things were different. PICARD: I wish I could believe that.
PHILLIPA: This hearing, convened on stardate42527.4, is to determine the legal status of the android known as Data.The office of the Judge Advocate General has rendered a finding ofproperty, the defence has challenged. Commander Riker? RIKER: Your honour, there is only one issue, and one relevant piece ofevidence. I call Lieutenant Commander Data. (Data goes to the witness chair and puts his hand on a scanner on thetable) COMPUTER: Verify. Lieutenant Commander Data. Current assignment, USSEnterprise. Starfleet Command Decoration for Valour and RIKER: Your honour, we'll stipulate to all of this. PICARD: Objection, Your Honour, I want this read. All of it. PHILLIPA: Sustained. COMPUTER: Valour and Gallantry, Medal of Honour with Clusters, Legionof Honour, the Star Cross. PHILLIPA: Proceed, Commander. RIKER: Commander, what are you? DATA: An android. RIKER: Which is? DATA: Webster's Twenty Fourth Century Dictionary, Fifth Edition,defines an android as an automaton made to resemble a human being. RIKER: Automaton. Made. By whom? DATA: Sir? RIKER: Who built you, Commander? DATA: Doctor Noonien Soong. RIKER: And he was? DATA: The foremost authority in cybernetics. RIKER: More basic than that. What was he? DATA: Human? RIKER: Thank you. Commander, what is the capacity of your memory, andhow fast can you access information? DATA: I have an ultimate storage capacity of eight hundred quadrillionbits. My total linear computational speed has been rated at sixtytrillion operations per second. RIKER: Your Honour, I offer in evidence prosecution's exhibit A, a rodof par-steel. Tensile strength, forty kilobars. Commander, would youbend that? PICARD: Objection. There are many life forms possessed of megastrength. These issues are not relevant to this hearing. PHILLIPA: I'm afraid I can't agree, Captain. Proceed with youdemonstration, Commander. (Data bends the heavy rod neatly into a U shape) RIKER: Drawing on the log record of the construction of the prototypeandroid Lore, also constructed by Noonien Soong, I request to beallowed to remove the Commander's hand for your inspection. PICARD: Objection! (changes his mind) It doesn't matter. Objectionwithdrawn. PHILLIPA: Proceed, Commander. RIKER: I'm sorry. (Riker twists and pulls off Data's left forearm and hand)RIKER: The Commander is a physical representation of a dream, an ideaconceived of by the mind of a man. It'spurpose is to serve human needs and interests. It's a collection ofneural nets and heuristic algorithms. Its responses dictated by anelaborate software programme written by a man. Its hardware built by aman. And now. And now a man will shut it off. (A flick of the hidden off switch, and Data slumps across the table) RIKER: Pinocchio is broken. Its strings have been cut. (A horrified silence descends) PICARD: I request a recess. PHILLIPA: Granted.
All that changed when a build-up of unprecedented proportions crested on June 23, 1989, with the nationwide release of Batman, directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, and Kim Basinger.
This philosophy is not specifically geared to the avid sciencefiction fan. Engdahl writes for a wide and varied audience,including both sexes and any age, for she believes "the future isof interest to us all" ( p. 452 ). Sheemphasizes that each of her books serves a different purpose and,thus, is written for a different audience. 2ff7e9595c
