Message:The scene conveys perfect tension as well as the shock reveal. Everyone involved should be proud (except they are dead).
Wait, Kirk still lives...or was he replaced by the Kirk lookalike contest winner?
The script is vivid. Often rated one of the best. Several good twists and a subplot integral to the story not appended.
