Nicholas Meyer wrote the screenplay for and directed Time After Time. A movie in which H.G. Wells builds a time machine which he must use to search for Jack The Ripper in the 1970s. It starred Malcolm McDowell (Star Trek: Generations and David Warner, Star Trek: The Final Frontier and Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a look. I haven't seen it in ages, but remember really enjoying it. Here’s another Ripper/Trek connection. Nicholas Meyer wrote the screenplay for and directed Time After Time. A movie in which H.G.

You may not know, given that the quality of Next Gen and other series novels tends to be quite good, but in the early days of Star Trek novels the quality was...ahem...uneven. Should you ever want to see exactly what I mean pick up a copy of How Much for Just The Planet. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

I have to go read this again. You're right - it's the best exploration of Vulcan the series (books, movies, shows, etc.) ever offered up.

You know, a hand-held electronic device that could tell me where I am, give me information, let me talk to other people, beep a little bit and light up. Man, that would be cool. Oh, wait.

I've never had the cojones to actually get a uniform, but if I did it would be the Wrath of Khan style one. Probably sweat to death in it, but they looked sweet! :-) The Voyager uniform looks really good.

Fox probably just wants a piece of the pie. Once WB pays them off everything will go swimmingly. While I have yet to read the graphic novel, the trailer looks pretty cool.
