Ilia was a horrible character made in that very Gene Roddenberry kind of way where he has a bit of a hippie mentality was was somewhat of a perv.
Honestly, TMP is exactly what is generally claimed, kind of a bad movie. Even the big obsessive hardcore fans can't agree.
I do like a few of the scenes. But Star Trek kind of grew beyond Gene. Like how Star Wars grew beyond Lucas and became something else he couldn't master and kind of shouldn't. It's good he was forced out of later Star Trek TOD movies.
