Thanks for giving us some of the best Star Trek movies. May God be with your family.

    reading that article, I can see Bennett had a significant role in a lot that I watched in my youth. I'd only known him from Star Trek.

    guess Cryptic have one more name to the memorial names list on ESD and Qo'nos. Harve produced 4 trek films, that makes him just as much a part of the entire franchise as Gene, Majel and Deforest.

    He produced movies 2-5, and came up with the idea of 2 being a follow up to "Space Seed". If not for him, we probably wouldn't have gotten TNG or the series that followed it (or this game).

    TNG was pitched by Roddenberry in response to what his version of Trek was in contrast to what Bennett's version of Trek. However, the success of the trilogy (2-4) gave us TNG.

    Two great losses (inside and outside of Star Trek-dom) so close to one another. Very sad on both accounts

    As I responded in the General forum:

    I'd go so far to say ST II/III/IV are the best trilogy in all of sci-fi. (Sorry Mr. Lucas) :D

    Both Harve Bennett & Nicholas Meyer "got" Star Trek. What impressed me most about Bennett was this part:
    Only vaguely familiar with the original series, he sat down and watched all 79 episodes over several days.

    Too bad the modern bunch never did that.
