Nicholas Meyer Fascinates Me!

[Jonesy]

However, while people in this thread like to defend how articulate and intelligent Meyer is, I would have liked to have seen more intelligence in the script for TUC, which had some really cheaply-written dialog and scenes.

I am by no means claiming he is a god amongst writers and film makers, just someone who is more respectable than most. He states a lot that he doesn't like to modify his films, but he still tends to do so, and he also has said he doesn't like to do commentary tracks, but he's done three of them for Star Trek already (All of which are really good. Blankets!).

Not everyone always makes a great movie after another. Even Spielberg has made films I ultimately loath. And even with what we got in TUC, it's still a more enjoyable Trek outing than any of the TNG movies, especially Trek09.

You're right on your final sentence, but it is still surprising when I think that the man who co-wrote & directed TWOK did the same for TUC.

the Wrath of Khan was Star Trek at it's best any thoughts?

This deserves its own thread!

Back to my original post: has anyone become interested in the 19th century, the Napoleonic era, and other Meyer-related interests because those influences are present in his Trek movies?

Yes.




Also, anyone who is a fan of Meyer's should check out the book Midshipman's Hope. You read that and tell me you wouldn't love to see Meyer take that to film...

Seconded. (And MiddySeafort will undoubtedly third it).

I'd love to see Meyer head up a miniseries, or even a full blown series, adapted from the Seafort Saga books on HBO.
