(Talking about the expanded version on VHS)
Like:
1) The first 10 minutes (V'Ger v. Klingons) still drops my jaw.
2) The scene where the Enterprise is in dry-dock (I watch that scene again, and again and the trek-joy lump still rises in my throat)
3) Spock crying (Hey Vulcans are in Control of their emotions, they do have some); so poignantly low-key
4) All the scenes of Lt. Ilia before she died. She was too cool!!! (and the scene deleted in the theatrical release of her and Sulu is hysterical)
5) Spock's exploring V'Ger Awesome
6) THE MUSIC--The score is the best ever for the Star Trek Movie, the only one better is First Contact!
Dislike:
1) Kirk--They script him with this sort of behavior? This is a way to welcome back the fans who have missed him for years? The Decker v. Kirk conflict got under my skin far more than the pacing. I abort his actions in this film; it was some "Probe". He really comes back in TWOK!
2) THE PACING!
3) Ilia the mechanism--Come on, that--what she was wearing--Cheesecake pure in simple.
4) The thinly veiled "Changling" Rehash--If you're a Trekker you know the one.
5 & 6) The STUPID WAY THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED--Oh let V'Ger have his metaphysical sex in the road and we can all leave now! GGRRRRR! I'm done!
