Nichelle Nichols was right that it was utter bullshit that her character didn’t know Klingon after decades of experience on a ship that regularly dealt with Klingon-related diplomatic crises, but this scene is still a guilty pleasure. Nichelle’s face at the end was not part of the script but they kept it in.

The movies are kind of their own universe because of stuff like this. There was very little consideration for continuity back then.
