Comments the writer/director made in a recent Den of Geek interview might propel them all the way to Khitomer. Meyer revealed that Bryan Fuller is a fan of Star Trek VI and that the final TOS movie could be the touchstone and starting point for the next series. We share our thoughts on what this could mean for plot and setting.
