He seemed to suggest that the delay between "The Cage" and the OK to start filming the series is responsable for this. As for Number One switching rolls, that has to do with the network dodo. They did not like a woman with that much power, so Roddenbury gave those powers to Spock. I guess you could say that Spocks roll was switch too. jody

It was more than Number One's power that the "network dodo" objected to, though that was part of it. The network also felt that audiences would not like a female who was so cold and unemotional. Therefore these personality traits were also given to Spock. If you watch Spock in the "Cage" portions of "Managerie" you will notice that he does display emotions. -- Dave Seaman pur-ee!pucc-h!ags
