Read Shatner's Movie Memories.

I'm a hard-core trekkie and refuse to take part in this 'Going where we've already been' rewriting of Trek history. I've read more and more hard-core trekkies are considering protesting the movie. This is going to an interesting development once the media picks up on it! No way in hell would Gene Roddenberry approve of this abomination of a movie.

It also was the first and only film to live up to the reach out and explore mysteries. concept which was an original principle to trek, there was battles between ships. In Robert Wise they had the right director, If you look at his Movie Hindenburg it influenced some of the look of the movie , in terms of its grandeur. Unfortunatley the movie was too slow paced. The Story was not the best in terms of a trek film and years later even Leonard Nimoy conceded that they did not get the script that they wanted. It was decent film science fiction film all things considered. #237 Navigator Star trek the motion picture is the best looking of the Trek films even by todays standards the film still looks incredible, V’ger scared the socks off of me, in fact Borg pale in comparison to V’ger.

The above link is Part 1. For the record TMP is my favorite Star Trek film, I never cared for the sequels. However, I am looking forward to seeing JJ Abrams' Star Trek 11 film.

At the 02:25 (2 minutes and 25 seconds) point in the interview Gene Roddenberry gives credit to the actors, specifically Leonard Nimoy for developing the Spock character. Gene states he only created the outline for the Spock character and that Leonard fleshed out the character. At the 05:44 point in the interview Gene states that they (Paramount) are going to do a new one (Star Trek movie) probably shot as a high budget TV movie and that he has NO OBJECTION to some else doing it (Star Trek) and he would give technical advise if they will listen to him. I recall issues of the Starlog magazine during that time having interviews with the cast and crew of TWOK, saying that they were introducing younger characters in the new Star Trek film (Lt. Saavik and Dr. David Marcus) to eventually replace TOS characters. I thought that was strange and it would be a mistake. Based on this 1982 interview I believe Gene would have approved of JJ Abram's Star Trek 11 film.

I think the ST VI point is not necessarily true since he only saw the film completely 2 days before he died, even commenting on how he actually enjoyed it.

Your right ,to expect a show of that Era to have any kind of character development is little to much to ask, how silly of me. I guess Roddenberry just didn't believe in the concept of character growth and development, which is something that all good drama has. C'mon MIcheal even you have to Agree Kirk, Spock and McCoy didn't change or very much throughout the series. every week same character no change. Didn't you find that the least bit boring and predictable? Ellison was trying introduce a depth and believable humanity that the characters didn't even have. which might have been to benefit of the show. As to us suing Psuedonyms that purely our choice, and being a critic of something does not by definition make one a Hater as you put it. Michel don't treat the rest of us like dummies, were not.
