Now THAT was good stuff! How ironic is it that Nicolas Meyer wrote and directed both one of the best Star Trek movies: The Wrath of Khan and, arguably, one of the worst: "The Undiscovered Country," (which had the ignoble distinction of breaking the streak of the even numbered Trek movies being superior to the odd numbered ones). But I forgive him because he also wrote "The Voyage Home," still my favorite Trek movie.
