Let me tell you the thought process of The Star Trek bigwigs, regarding Nicolas Meyer: Star Trek TMP: "Who's Nick Meyer??" Star Trek II: "Hey we got this young kid! Nick Meyer!!" Star Trek III: "Hey, Star Trek II was a huge success! We Don't need Nick Meyer!" Star Trek IV: "Ok, Star Trek III was just 'ok,' get us Nick Meyer..." Star Trek V: "Star Trek IV was HUGE!!!... Who's Nick Meyer!?" Star Trek VI: "Um....BEG Nick Meyer...we NEEEEED HIM!!!!"

lmao  
brilliant

Meh...TMP was still better than TWOK

But TWOK is a great film. I haven't seen TUC yet so can't comment on that one.

You know, I only realised this morning that Robert Wise also directed The Haunting and Audrey Rose. It's no wonder TMP was felt to be 'slow' by some people...he's one of the masters of slow-building tension IMO.

The Haunting is a fantastic film that allows the tension to just creep up on you slowly, without ever resorting to cheap jump scares. I can see that he took exactly the same approach with TMP. Not that TMP is scary, but...

I agree that Spock's death scene is one of the most powerful scenes in all of Trek...but then bringing him back cheapens it somewhat don't you think?

again... meh... i mean i grew up with these movies, i think i was 6 or 7 when tsfs came out... its hard for me to judge it like that, its just part of the trek for me, but yes it is cheap, but its trek, and for me its always been there so i accept it with open arms... sometimes i think if i would have like tmp more if the first time i saw it i wasnt some add kid thinking hurry the hell up movie... but that's how i feel every time i watch it now... ho hum

I don't know if it cheapens it. Spock was too important to kill, in regards to the franchise.

If Spock had died at the end of a Trilogy, and that was the end of Star Trek - then Spock could stay dead. TWoK, IMHO, was Star Trek at its very finest, hitting its stride. There's no way Trek could exist without Kirk, Spock, and McCoy...If they planned further movies, Spock was needed.
