Star Trek The Motion Picture: 10 Reasons It's Underrated
7. Our First View Of Earth
Believe it or not, through the entire three-year run of TOS, we never, even once, got to see the Enterprise visit Earth. Given how often EVERY SINGLE OTHER Trek series, including, bizarrely, Voyager, felt the need to visit the place, thats something of a surprise.
We dont see much of Earth; basically all we get is Starfleet command. But getting anything at all, after all these years of wondering what it might look like, was something nice.
