All I Want to Do Is Direct!

That's one of the stereotypical movie-star laments.  In the case of Trekdom, we've been fortunate that people who want to do it have actually pulled things off sometimes!

From the November 11, 1982 Oklahoma City Journal, we read about Nimoy directing an episode of The Powers of Matthew Starr.

The above is from the August 5, 1983 Oklahoma City Times.  It was my first knowledge that Nimoy had been trusted with the franchise, with Star Trek III.  That space opera came out as least as good as it should have.  (Although the Klingons were less sinister than I wish).

See you Monday!

  

Trekking Ahead!

Our joy at getting a Star Trek movie was separate from any opinions about what we got. And we wanted MORE!

This clipping from the Oklahoman of May 25, 1980, was one of the tantalizing tidbits we clung to.

This one, from the October 9, 1980 Oklahoman, gave us more to dream on.

And until then, we could buy the Motion Picture on video, finally, as this ad in the December 6, 1980 TV Guide informed us.

What a great time to be a fan!  See you Thursday.
