Issue 22 of the official Star Trek magazine is hitting newsstands this week and it is all about villains. Khan won an online poll of favorite villain so he gets special attention. We have an excerpt from the feature story, plus an excerpt from the interview Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer below, plus a [...]
Much has been made recently about Return to the Hundred Acre Wood , a new, authorized collection of Pooh stories (the first in eighty years) by David Benedictus, attempting to follow in the footsteps of the original author, A.A. Milne. The book introduces a new character, Lottie the Otter, who is full of herself and forgetful. Ultimately, the entire enterprise is ill-conceived and unsuccessful, so...

This is about a 2 1/2 minute clip of Nicholas Meyer talking about directing the death of Spock in STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN. He's promoting his new book The View from the Bridge: Memories of Star Trek, II, IV and VI and a Life in Hollywood. Meyer was (like the director of the STAR TREK big screen revamp) not a fan of the TV show and says that, at the time, he just didn't get it. Without his writing...
I feel like I just had a long lunch with writer/director Nicholas Meyer, and I didn’t get a word in edgewise. And that’s fine, because no doubt he can tell stories far better than I. The proof’s long been in his novels and movies, and now it’s in his own story in the autobiography THE [...]
Specifically, Star Trek II, IV, and VI, (my favorites, incidentally) with director Nicholas Meyer. Related content at Instapundit: Star Trek Design FAIL’s, plus a DIY Star Trek design (whether it’s a FAIL or not is debatable).
