That is now the final title of the film and it looks like it will be a winner! Howard was not releasing lots of info about the film but he did say enough to get the following summary: The film starts with the Enterprise limping home after the battle with Khan. The ship enters a starbase in Earth orbit that dwarfs the ship and Kirk is relieved of command. Apparently the federation is upset with Kirk over the episode since the Romulans and Klingons view the Genesis bomb as a weapon. All I know about the rest of the plot is that Sarek (played by Mark Lenard) comes to visit Kirk, McCoy goes on a drinking binge, upset because he didn't talk Spock out of committing suicide, and Kirk watches computer tapes of McCoy and Spock in Engineering and himself and Spock in the famous death scene. He then SOMEHOW gets back the Enterprise (Howard wouldn't say how but the implication of the slides and his wording is that Kirk and his crew STEAL the ship back. We'll have to wait till June 1 to find out for sure) and goes off in search for Spock. James B. Sikking (of Hill Street Blues fame) plays the commander of the Excelsior the next generation ship after the Enterprise and it is equipped with something called Trans-warp drive and Christpher Lloyd (of Taxi fame) plays a klingon commander. I have no idea how they affect the story but I can't wait to find out! I wish today were June 1 !!!! Saul -------
