What's left behind the scenes

This is the first film in the franchise to be directed and filmed after the death of the series creator, Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991). With Roddenberry's death, the franchise's creative team began to use ideas and concepts that Roddenberry himself had opposed during his lifetime – for example, combining characters from the series "Star Trek" (1966-1969) and "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987-1994) into a single storyline.
The phrase spoken by Soran, "Time is a fire in which we all burn," is taken from a poem by American poet Delmore Schwartz (1913-1966).
The film takes place in the years 2293 and 2371.
In the scene where Data sings, the amazement on the faces of the other crew members is genuine. Brent Spiner, who plays the role, was only supposed to hum a couple of lines under his breath, but unexpectedly began to sing. The director decided to include these takes in the film.
During the battle with the Klingons, Troi, played by Marina Sirtis, takes command of the starship after an explosion. Director David Carson wanted to film this scene in one take to capture the genuine, rather than acted, reactions of the actors involved. However, Sirtis accidentally sat on a burning fragment that fell onto the captain's chair after the explosion. This take was ultimately used in the film, although at the moment Sirtis sat down, the camera switched to show another actor. Fortunately, Sirtis was unharmed.
In early script versions, it was planned that Captain Kirk would take command during the battle with the Klingons and die aboard the 'Enterprise-D'.
During the crash, the so-called saucer section of the 'Enterprise' was supposed to split into two parts. This is why Starfleet engineering would not have been able to simply take the saucer and attach it to another hull afterward. When it became clear that the imperfect computer technology and models of the time could not achieve the desired effect, this idea was abandoned.
This was William Shatner's final on-screen appearance as Captain James T. Kirk. Due to the actor's age, it was decided that the character should die, and heroically at that. In J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek' (2009), the role of Kirk was played by Chris Pine. Thus, Shatner's Kirk died, but was reborn in the performance of Pine.
