No small feet

There's a moment in the movie Star Trek, that Kirk needs to distract or kill Nero but's it's unclear if he CAN defeat the future-Romulan that has like twice his strength, but as Spock secures his spaceship from the cargo bay and destroys Nero's ship's singularity/mining thingy, Nero goes after him and leaves Kirk alone and as Kirk becomes the victim of Nero's 2nd in command and proceeds to use his own weapon against him(I got your GUN), there is a moment there when he avoids falling into an abyss, that the other Romulan doesn't, and as the music begins to play more upbeat, it is plain to see that the universe is righting itself just as he struggles to pull himself up from the ledge.

I think they cut that scene WAY too short.

I was thinking of Sarah K recently and just now when I woke up I was reminded of another scene in movie history. You see the heroine of this movie was being pursued for reasons not of her knowing. She had no idea WHY people were after her. But her defender KNEW what was happening and he had successfully defended her and finally destroyed the automaton that had hunted her so ruthlessly throughout the movie.

Or so he thought.

Because just when you thought it was over, after SEVERAL explosions and exposures, the "spirit" of the demon shows itself STILL ALIVE, still willing to scare her and hunt her and not let her rest. But her protector is broken. He has no energy left. He is fresh out of grenades. His eyes have come shut.

But SHE has HAD IT. It's finally too much. Hasn't there been enough damage? Her tone changes as she begs her defender to get up to no avail. She can't be nice anymore. She starts yelling at him, pulling him, and then demanding him.

On your feet soldier!

On your FEET!


ps. getting back up... is no small feat
