![]() ![]() Depth, subtlety, and logic are not the strong points of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (’91). And so, spinning a tale from an idea of Nimoy’s, Meyer and co-writer Denny Martin Flinn whipped up a story about an attempted peace initiative between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets. Next up Chekhov, AKA Walter Koenig, wrote an outline in which a war with the Klingons results in everyone but Spock and McCoy dying (sounds good to me!). ![]() For some crazy reason, the old-timers, not being in the movie, weren’t so keen on it. First up, one bandied about for years, in which a young cast would play the original characters in their Starfleet Academy days. Writer/director Nicholas Meyer saved the Star Trek film series (DOA with The Motion(less) Picture) by bringing back Khan in ’82, and co-wrote the second best film in the series, The Voyage Home, so it’s no wonder Leonard Nimoy asked him to salvage the world of Trek after Shatner’s abominable The Final Frontier. ![]()
