There's so much happening in this half of the film, it was tricky choosing what scenes to show in the panels I had available. But it's a fun film overall, and that makes it easier to parody than the mess that was Final Frontier. There are a few niggling annoyances in the plotting, and I've poked fun at them here, but overall I can forgive them.

And so there we are! The end of 79 episodes of the Original Series, 22 episodes of the Animated Series, and 6 movies starring the original series cast. But... we're not quite finished yet. Join me next week for the grand finale of Planet of Hats!
