Star Trek II, IV and VI comprise Nicholas Meyer’s even-numbered trilogy from the original cast era. He cowrote this treasured trio and directed II & IV. Thus Meyer’s name will live long and prosper along with Roddenberry, Bennett and Abrams.

Star Trek VI concluded the original movie series in disappointing fashion. Last of Nicholas Meyer's II, IV, VI trio, last with the founding cast, ST VI is first in being ridiculous.
