Star Trek Hoth was one of my favorite scenes ... until the Scotty coincidence.
It had the "Just Like Star Trek" of Kirk vs. Aliens, and the "All About Star Trek" of new Kirk meets Spock Prime.
Reminds me of what I love about the Wrath of Khan / Search for Spock two-parter. The first movie was so bloody much like Star Trek it made me squee. And the 2nd movie was not like Star Trek at all, but All About Star Trek - with grandstanding by Sulu and by Uhura that was so ultimately their characters, but they never acted that way in the series - - and a plot that ... without any Leonard Nimoy on screen till the last minute ... was all about Spock and Spockisms (pon farr, etc.) - - and over-the-top stuff like mutinous stealing the Enterprise, and the (first) destruction of the Enterprise that would never have happened in the series, but made fans all gooey.
In fact, the latter film played more like fan fic that authentic Star Trek, but it was good fan fic and I loved it.
The Spock Prime and New Coke, er Kirk scene on Hoth was very fan fic. I liked it for that.
