Dec. 14th, 2025 08:24 pmJust read the Robert Collins draft of Star Trek: The Motion Picture thanks to a friend. It's very much a condensed version of the Harold Livingston Frist Draft and the Gene Roddenberry second draft.
Decker is a jerk in this one being pulled off his own ship captaincy and believing he's going to be the Enterprise's captain, only to be demoted when Kirk shows up.
At the end ,Kirk manages to talk the Ilia Probe to death and Decker merges with V'Ger via an American Gladiator's style obstacle course.
Now to read the other...far more interesting...script.
