Would it have changed how he felt about them?I think Kirk acknowledges that by the end of The Undiscovered Country, more or less. That's kind of the culmination of the film, where Kirk accepts that times change, and a certain amount of trust and faith is required to move forward.

august Wrote:Interesting trivia note - the main Klingon, Kang, was played by Michael Ansara, who was married at the time to Jeannie actress Barbara Eden! According to the IMDB, he is one of only six actors to play the same character (i.e. Kang) on three different Trek series - TOS, DS9 (the one where the old generals get together for one last hurrah) and Voyager (Tuvok's flashback ep.) He has also been the voice of Mr. Freeze on a number of the animated Batman series. Plus he's guested on just about every show ever, from Babylon 5 to Buck Rogers to Kojak, McCloud, McMillan and Wife, The Mod Squad etc. etc.
