Talk:Star Trek: The Motion Picture (novel)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Shouldn't this topic remain in the confines of the article on Star Trek: The Motion Picture (novel)? --Gvsualan 13:17, 13 Mar 2005 (GMT)

The novel was authoured by Gene Roddenberry - quite the ultimate authourity on Star Trek canon, wouldn't you think? Such an item as this, mentioned in the novel, would deserve its own article, IMO. Plus it is clearly stated that there is no further reference to this in the television series and movies. Ottens 13:18, 13 Mar 2005 (GMT)

Also applying to Mind Control Revolts.

I really think that is a matter of debate, as its' source is from the novel and not actually taken from the movie. Therefore, it should remain in the confines of the novels article, and at most, a footnote in any article where the topic has been covered over the past ~700 episodes -- which, to my knowledge, it has not. --Gvsualan 13:31, 13 Mar 2005 (GMT)

[edit] Kirk in love w/ Spock?

Its been a while since I read this novel, but wasn't there a preface or something written from Kirk's perspective that implied he was homosexually attracted to Spock in some way? Federation 08:08, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

No. I just read the preface and there is no mention or implying of Kirk being in love with Spock.

[edit] Outside TOS?

Is it true (as mentioned here) that the book takes place in a world where the original series is just a dramatization of Kirk's actual voyages? Can anyone post the specific text establishing it? --Andrew Nagy 03:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Never mind; I read further and found it. --Andrew Nagy 03:33, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
