Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country - Sign Off

[V1PER7964]

I am thankful that I grew up watching the original Star Trek's, Lost in Space, and other various older TV shows/movies. My father had many of them recorded or purchased and watched them all the time. These shows are FAR better then the crap they had on when I was growing up, and what is on right now.

Curious note: This is the last video i am viewing with the old YouTube layout, so in some ways, this song is a goodbye to the old YouTube ^_^

[Cap285]

Ah. I remember sitting in the theater in disbelief as the Enterprise vanished into the light. There will never be another crew like the original.

[all13Doctors]

TOS came to and end....? Whoops, then so did Star Trek!

[horaciosi]

I like to think that this is the Star Trek equivalent of Deathly Hallows part 2.

[blairlikesvoyager]

@horaciosi Never, ever relate something as amazingly epic like Star Trek, with something so overly hyped about, and yet stupid as Harry Potter again.

[QJScott]

This...This piece gives me goosebumps. The only thing that pops into my head when I hear this is "What can top it?" Answer: "Nothing". JJ's little foray into this franchise is insignificant compared to the power of the Shatner and crew. I'd rather watch "Threshold" over and over again instead of JJ's _Trek_ jaunt.

"This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no *one* has gone before. "

[all13Doctors]

Hard to explain for an 80s kid, but Star Trek ended with this.

[trekaddict]

This. THis was the best ending the Crew could get. The unfortunately cut ending of Nemesis was also awesome. It's on Youtube somewhere.

[TheWinMacLinTechie]

I can just imagine the hollywood premier ending with this music. As the signatures appear, each actor comes on stage in Star Trek costume. The standing ovation comes up at Leonard Nimoy.

Captain Kirk: Second Star to the left & Straight on to morning!

[TURBODORK2]

in bill shatners book , ashes of eden , the Enterprise A is sadly destroyed in an attempt to save a planet just before the events of generations

[SFisher1993]

@TURBODORK2 I remember that. Admiral Drake wanted the ship to go out in a "blaze of glory". He got that wish, but not his wish to see Kirk die before him.

[Crazydog7]

Did I really go see this at the theater 20 years ago? Man.

[MusicalFan1701]

I shed tears when the actors' signatures appeared just prior to the end credits, at approx. 2:19.

[rkjk62]

When this is shown on TV, they always cut off the sign off with the actor's autographs; bastards.

[SPeacock]

@rkjk62 Do you reside in the US? I only ask because when this film is shown on TV here in the UK, the sign-off part is always included - it's the end credits that are sped up.

[aussieivan]

second star to the right. and straight on til morning

[TonyShow82]

If I were human, I believe my response would be, go fuck yourself... If I were human. That's what I'd have Mr. Spock say.

[gravyhouse]

Star Trek will never be the same again...

I miss you, William Shatner

[Wired2X]

Second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning.

[RMPKevin]

Awesome. Best movie of all of them.

[TheCharlie359]

Just an amazing end to an fantastic saga!

[cindy4423]

live long and prosper everyone

[desotowrong]

I'm actually tearing up, this was a very emotional moment that we all knew was coming, I love Spock's quip and the closing speech of Kirk. What a beautiful and heartfelt ending to such an epic saga.

[voltz15]

I remember when I saw this in theaters and realized that the whole thing was finally over. Great way to give the series a sendoff.

"Second star to the right.... and straight on till morning."

[6000mphx]

"If I we're human, I believe my response would be, go to hell... If I were human"

Lol. Someone had to say it.

Great track :)

[timefilm]

Actually, it's played 4 times. also during the scene with spock and kirk called dining on ashes.

[krazie835]

Yes this is true, I'll make the correction. Thank you for pointing that out.

[timefilm]

i agree it was criminally underused. it was a worthy addition to the star trek themes. but nicholas meyer had a goal to make this film darker more political. it's an interesting change making the klingon theme the predominant score

[zeezee15]

I like this song, it's the perfect ovation to the original cast headed by William Shatner's Kirk. Note how the music starts off with a "well, everything's back to normal, kick back and relax" melody before drooping into a somber, sad crawl - then all of a sudden Alexander Courage's legendary TV theme - the one that makes us all loved classic ST kicks in. Music then raises, sounds adenturous and full of energy before an resounding cresendo - its says onwards, adventure will continue! Wow!

[timefilm]

notice also that from 1.38 its a completely new rendition of the original theme, so subtle it's almost unnoticable

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Wonderful! :`)

[spinsandneedles]

Right-oh - very nice.
