shareWho had the terrible fate, the woman who lost her ape friend, or the ape for losing his life?
shareIn the original, she never considered him a friend, hence the screaming and leg kicking every time he picks her up.

shareThe Wrath of Khan - Spock dies for saving the ship.
Generations - Kirk is done dirty by the studio.
I like the way Spock died in Wrath of Khan, and it's a shame they brought him back. He died on his own terms, sacrificing himself for the crew.
But I hate the unceremonious way Kirk died in Generations, and it's a shame the studio didn't undo *that* death.
Shatner wrote a book, The Return, (maybe a ghostwriter) that retcons the end of Generations, where his body was beamed aboard a cloaked ship and revived. His fate is not revealed until later when he tracks down Worf, Data, and Geordi.
shareFor all the crap that Shatner gets, that honestly sounds better than what we ended up with. It still sounds like a fudge, but at least it's an attempt to get around the undignified way Kirk was 'killed' in Generations.
