I seem to be getting some sort of subspace interference lately, as one can
see by the garble.

Especially if one has not read the book, the STTMP special edition makes
much more sense than the original release.  In fact, the scene where Ilia
heals Chekov's burns via emphathy (not in the original film) finally drove
home the reason Ilia was in the movie in the first place.

There was much speculation in the popular SF press about a cybernetic
future in the evolution of Man.  V'ger's role in this evolution is clear.
What the Ilia empathy healing scene brought out was her evolution in the
aspects we consider HUMAN.  Too bad the censors wouldn't allow the movie
to delve into the sexual aspects of Ilia's advanced human evolution.
Perhaps there should be a STTMP 1.75 - this one a hard R.

To really understand STTMP, you still have to read the book.
