My graduate school has been blessed with a complete set of TOS scripts
which they keep in the rare manuscripts collection. Recently I thumbed
through the index and learned a few things I was unaware of:
1. Some episodes were renamed before filming (not suprising).
2. Some episodes were written by famous sf writers.
(i.e Harlan Ellison, Theodore Sturgeon, Norman Spinrad)
More Importantly:
The index was arranged in the order they were televised. However, there
was a fourth section for untelevised episodes, namely:
The Cage
He Has Walked Among Us (unfilmed)
Paleface
(other titles I can't remember)
That there are scripts for unfilmed episodes does not suprise me; but only one
(as above) was marked "unfilmed." Are there actually unseen episodes such as
The Cage? and if so how can we get hold of them?
I posted this question several times to the regular ST group and never got
a reply.
[Note - while articles which are inquiries are not acceptable for r.a.s.i.,
this article has reliable information that I'd never heard before,
which is why I accepted it. I *think* that the "unfilmed" one is
actually a proposed second pilot that was rejected, but I'm not
sure. Follow-ups are directed to r.a.s. - ed.]
