Trek Talk:

Group discussion of the away mission to see Star Trek The Motion Picture. The Enterprise was the Star, Kirk was a jerk for taking away the Enterprise from Decker, and Sydney pointed out that when Chekov was injured, I Lieutenant Ilia used her mojo to keep him calm. Sydney didn’t recall that scene in previous releases. The extra beauty shots going through the cloud were stunning-but still about 15 minutes too long. The décor and fashion definitely reflected the late 1970’s. Well worth seeing it in the theater.
