nick meyer was the best thing that ever happened to trek movies. watch the special edition star trek 2 dvd and listen to how much nick meyer had an impact on trek.. and he was not a trekkie.. between him and bennett - st 2 emerged.. much of the uniforms, how the weapons worked, ops and so forth were Meyer's vision. He imagined star trek as a version of haritio horn blower i think it was.. er somthing. i gotta watch the interview again.
his presence bled through again in ST6 with his vision of how the enterprise would look on prewar footing with the klingons. He imagined the "submarine" feel with space being spent on praticalities and the newer "touch pads" in ST5 are gone in favor of more traditional "buttons."
The man knows what he is doing - unlike B&B (sorry harry if you get offended.. but i am a *huge* meyer fan).
