June 1st, 1984 — My gosh how could I forget that the 25th anniversary was today. So for the third movie installment we got a lot of great new things to feast our eyes on. The USS Excelsior, The USS Grissom, The Starfleet Space dock, The Klingon Bird of Prey, The destruction of the USS Enterprise, Christopher LLoyd as Kruge, Robin Curtis as the new Saavik, A new James Horner score. and the directorial debut of Leonard Nimoy. Despite the superstition of this one being an odd numbered film and not really well received by the fans, I loved it!!! It took a while to get used to Robin Curtis because I was so in love with Kirstie Alley, but over time I decided I like her better. Here are some quick pictures to remember this great day In Star Trek theatrical release dates:
