Star Trek The Motion Picture - Episode 123
Gene Roddenberry and Paramount had been working on it for 4-½ years, and fans had been waiting for over ten. In December 1979, it was finally here. Star Trek The Motion Picture was in theaters. And this week we will be going to the movies as co-hosts Bob turner and Kelly Casto finally talk about this film. It was December 7, 1979. The decade of the 1970s only had three weeks left. Fans were finally getting a chance to see Star Trek The Motion Picture.  For them, this movie was the answer to their hopes and dreams. Star Trek was returning, and being a Trekkie was being validated with a major motion picture in the theaters. For Gene Roddenberry there had to be a feeling of relief and exhilaration, as well. He had been through so much frustration during the decade as he tried to bring Star Trek.   Finally, it was up there, on the big screen. During this week's show, Bob and Kelly will look at the movie based on their recollections and try to answer the following questions:    Is it a traditional Star Trek Story?    Is the film well-executed?    What works and what does not?    Does it hold up today? What would you change?
