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.] -- I knew how the game was going to end when I took Brenda into the filing room but I took her in anyway. --Al They have one big advantage over us: *they* know where they're going. --Batman Has your family tried 'em, Powdermilk? --Garrison Keillor /* Jeffery G.
