I finally got around to watching this at the weekend.
Reading other reviews, I agree about the flash forward images etc.
I also agree some of the music was perhaps out of place and/or repetitious, but back then BionicBob didn't have the luxury of the complete TOS soundtrack. Tribbles music works for the banter between Kirk and Spock, but I wouldn't extend it further than that.
Narrative-wise, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and felt nothing was truly missing. The hospital scenes in particular, benefited from this. A tightened trip to get the whales, and out we come the other side of the sun, back in the future.
Considering I am reviewing an edit made over a decade ago, it's a cute little take on the lighter of the TOS movies, that aside from some music choices, mostly holds up, viewing it today.
