That is my favorite of all Star Trek movies.

Most excellently done!

You’re correct about everything in your post.

The Trouble with Tribbles spawned my favorite Star Trek:TOS episode I,Mudd. “Harcort Fenton Mudd!”

“De plane!” “De plane!”🤣

[Charles Martel]

The earlier episode, "Mudd's Women", introduced the Harry Mudd character. "The Trouble With Tribbles" featured a similar character actor... you may remember him from an episode of Lost in Space, too:

Episode: "The Great Vegetable Rebellion". Ah, the 1960s.

🤣 loved that movie.

I liked “ Star Trek: The Motion Picture” as the best one, too. The musical score, the special effects, and we are seeing the original cast for the first time in years.
The “V-Ger” angle threw me for a loop- I didn’t see “Voyager” coming for anything. And Persis Khambatta was striking.
It is a great movie, and “The Wrath of Kahn” was no slouch.
Ricardo Montalban made that movie, he was fantastic.
The entire series was great.

Kirk: Still, “old friend”! You’ve managed to kill just about everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target!

The music was pretty good in the tv series.

Thanks for the clarification. I can visually recognize the difference from memory without having to review any footage.

The line said by Kirk’s son of “He cheated” is the line that has always stood out for me. I guess that is because cheating to win was such a bad thing to me when I was a kid. Now I know cheating is almost necessary to win in the adult world.

Great movie but I still like Star Trek: The Motionless Picture, especially the recent updated directors edition that has been rereleased in movie theaters recently.

I say that as a 55-year fan of Star Trek.

They were both about whales. TWOK was better because it was about hunting whales not singing to them.

Strangely enough Chekhov was not in the TV episode.

That's because the character of "Chekhov" was not even a twinkle in Gene Rodenberry's eye at the time of the filming of that episode.

Walter Koenig was hired only some time later.

he said that when he saw that at least other characters were always talking about the character, he was somewhat mollified

Ah, yes: The "Mr. Wong" effect, as Orson Welles called it!
