Why was Sulu barely in it?
That last shot of the crew together on the bridge just looked awkward with Takei missing.
sharebecause Takei had been campaigning for sulu to get his own ship since TWOK
maybe Shatner (who Takei accused of cutting out his brief mention of becoming Captain scene in TWOKs shuttle scene) was right when he angered takei by saying 'why do you want your own ship when all the action happens on the enterprise?'
That doesn't seem to be how it was originally intended though. Since Excelsior was the one cataloging gaseous anomalies (like Shatner? I kid.) clearly the torpedo should have been modified and launched by Excelsior. That had to have been changed because Shatner wanted the glory. It seems obvious that the original script gave Sulu - and Excelsior - a lot more to do.

sharePerhaps, but it was cool seeing Spock and McCoy whipping it together.
Hmm...that didn't sound right.
