Well, we are finally here. The last of the films for the crew of TOS. It isn't the last of the appearances of all of the members of the original cast (that will come much, much later), but this is the final word on the very first original series of Star Trek. From 1966 all the way now to 1991 (at the time of release), it was the 25th anniversary of the franchise and Paramount was determined for it to go out with a bang for the original cast's final ride.
Particularly after their last ride, in which Kirk, Spock, and Bones went on a camping trip to Yosemite and nothing of note happened beyond a sterling rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
God, I love in-built continuity erasers so much.
