Star Trek pitch

Original ST pitch

[Subliminal]

Blasphemy. I refuse to read it

 

May you be transported from a malfunctional transporter nacelle in the very near future.

If Gene Roddenberry’s original concept for “Star Trek” had boldly gone forward without a whole lot of tweaks, life on the U.S.S. Enterprise would have been very different. For instance, there would have been no U.S.S. Enterprise.

 

Instead, the S.S. Yorktown would have ferried its crew across space in what Roddenberry described as a “Wagon Train” story. And rather than having Captain Kirk or even Captain Pike leading the way, Captain Robert April — a character familiar only to die-hard Trekkers (and even then, in cartoon form) — was the imagined main man.

 

Some of the other characters in the pitch made it to the small screen briefly, such as female first officer Number One and ship’s doctor Philip Boyce, both from the pilot episode of the '60s show. Only one character made it all the way: Mr. Spock. Well, sort of. Spock 1.0 was described as a “satanic” looking, reddish half-Martian but ... close enough.

In reading some of the longer manuscript, he outlines some plots for some episodes. Very close to the plots that were actually used in the series.

That last one is the plot of an EC Weird Science story - and probably wasn't original then.

Are you out of your Vulcan mind!?

Great scott! I would have you beamed off this planet and into another glaxy!

 

But I already knew of the orignal. It was made too...and used later in some episode or sum krap.

Transporters don't have nacelles.

Come on. Everyone knows the nacelles are the twin tubal parts of the Enterprise that hold the propulsion equipment behind the saucer section of the ship.

I agree. . .and if they don't they should be ashamed.

Very interesting read! (thumbs u

 

I thought it was funny when I saw in the pitch that he said:

 

"Crew sidearms are rifles and pistols with an adjustment and will fire simple bullets, explosive projectiles, or hypodermic pellets which stun or tranquilize."
