Saw an interview with him and he said a lot of directors get lazy when dealing with experienced actors, so when Nicholas Meyer started talking to Ricardo about what he wanted from him, RM said “Oh. You’re going to direct me?”. Went on to explain how much he appreciated that.

I just saw the original Khan episode the other night.

Wow. The last line of the episode was just brilliant!!! Something to the effect of ‘wouldn’t you like to go forward 100 years and see what happens to them’ after Khan and his crew were sent to another planet.

why are there no muslims in the original star trek?

because it happens in the FUTURE.

Yes. The relevance of “Moby Dick” to Khan’s madness was made much more clear in the novelization.

And he got a commendation for it too!

(No doubt to cover up Starfleet’s embarassment....)

. . .and it was Stacey Abrams’ first cameo. She played “Gracie”, the whale on the right. . .

It was addressed in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise called ‘Regeneration’.

Trekkies explain that discrepancy by saying that Chekov was onboard the Enterprise at the time,but was not a bridge officer

Ah, I haven’t seen Enterprise, I’ll look it up. Wasn’t Enterprise set before TOS? I thought Q introduced the borg.
