Synopsis
An environmental disaster on the Klingon moon Praxis forces the warrior race to consider an armistice with their long-time enemy, the Federation. Kirk, unable to forget the death of his son at Klingon hands, wants no part of it, but Spock “volunteers” the captain’s services to Starfleet for a diplomatic assignment: providing the Klingon chancellor with escort services to an intergalactic peace summit.
Review
With an intended political undertone planted along the storyline, the sixth instalment had Kirk battling his inner demon of fear and prejudice against the kind who he detests. With so much thought provoking messages lying around, the story of 'The Undiscovered Country' is cleverly written with a rebellious twist, thus elevating the overall fear and suspense throughout the course of the Enterprise crew. All in all, it is a great if not satisfactory final adventure for the original Enterprise crew.
Rating
4/5 Stars
