I hope everybody realizes that "to boldly go" is, in fact, a split infinitive.
I hope you realize how pedantically silly it was to point this out...especially since it has been common knowledge the past (nearly) sixty years since the original series aired on TV.

If I really wanted to get pedantically silly, I'd say something like "nearly sixty years"?!
Who can name the tiny bit of non-Trek soundtrack music heard in this old ABC News report?
Would it be a 3 or 4 CD edition? I'd like a 99-page hardcover book full of recording sessions pictures and interviews and analysis of the sheet music with plenty of examples.

The event must be celebrated in a proper way.
I'm not hoping for a single-movie box set like SPARTACUS. I'd be just as happy with a single-disc release like ST II and IV got. These things are getting to be expensive, from a cummulative standpoint.
That said, I do enjoy having them as a set.
Below, a rare gathering of giants. The only known photo of the seven sisters together:
With MV's hint, I can't imagine it being anything else than Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It very well could be 3 discs, with the 'spared no expense' and 'crowning achievement' remarks by MV. I don't see it being limited after Star Trek V sold out 5000 copies in around a month or two's time.
I will definitely be picking this up on the release date and no later!

I still hope for the INSIDE STAR TREK disc to be included - i like it - creates a good atmosphere though it is related to the series and only have Ilia's theme at the very end in the Signing off track
I strained to hear it, but I just couldn't make it out.
I often wondered if "Bee-Joe" was the correct way to say Ms. Trimble's name. I always sort of assumed the J was silent.
At 0:30 there's a couple of seconds from Williams' "Black Sunday."
At 7:40 you hear a little of Small's "Marathon Man."
They're tiny remnants of the temporary scoring from early ST:TMP trailers, like this one . . .
. . . and particularly this National Association of Theater Owners promotional reel, which also uses a few seconds of Goldsmith's "Islands in the Stream" . . .
Betty Jo (or Bjo "BEE-joh") Trimble was born Betty JoAnne Conway.
Bjo is sort of a contraction of Betty Jo -- a nickname.
Wow. WOW. If it really is Star Trek - The Motion Picture, I won't feel quite so terrible about having missed Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, though I'll still desperately need that. The latter is a great score, but the former is simply one of the greatest scores ever - a serious candidate for Best. Score. Ever., as we sci-fi dorks like to say. There is no comparison.
On the off chance it's not that, though, then... what? To be considered "the" release in this series, that all the other stuff has been building up to... I can't think that any one single movie score out of the other three that haven't yet gotten the expanded treatment in the last few years (Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis) quite warrants the build-up, even if they're good and all. Any chance it could be something like a comprehensive box of all TOS music?
Just wondering - I don't really imagine it's anything other than Jerry Goldsmith's glorious debut in the Star Trek musical canon. And that is just peachy-keen with me. It'll be the third time I've bought this score, but this really is one of those ones that's worth double- and triple-dipping to get every last note.

3 disc set sounds fine with the first 2 rounding up the complete score and various alternates and what not. The 3rd disc being the original album presentation- that would be nice, like ...meeting an old friend !
