    How this guy didn't become one of the most prolific directors is beyond me. ST 2 and 6 are absolutely flawless.

    Always love Nicholas's sense of humour and how he tells a story. Very underrated filmmaker and writer IMO. I really want to read his memoir.

    I sat next to Harve Bennet at a Houston theater to see Star Trek ll : The Wrath of Khan. This was the June premiere in June of 1982. I won two gifts and one would be to sit with the entire cast of Trek. Star Trek convention at the Houston Summit was packed And the movie was a masterpiece

    By allowing Spock to die to save his fellow crew members, he made the hero bigger and shine bright into eternity. So from that dramatic viewpoint it was a brilliant move.
