    “They came begging, grovelling really, and I was only too happy to agree, and besides, I had an interesting idea in any case.” Stardate, August 1984, Harlan Ellison Speaks “I wanted to do something special, something that returned us a bit to the first season, and I was willing to...

  5. Phoenix from the Ashes: The Story of Star Trek's Fourth Season

    “Total chaos and confusion. We were filming ‘Mission to Cygnus’ when I arrived, the tenth of the season, and only had final drafts of eleven through fourteen. Still, I think it definitely gave me a chance to see what I could do, though it wasn’t the same without Herb.” Starlog, June...

  6. Phoenix from the Ashes: The Story of Star Trek's Fourth Season

    I've got blurbs written for all but the last four episodes now, and I pretty much know those. One of the interesting things is to work out what sort of episodes each writer would have produced; there are a few outlines that might have been used for a Fourth Season, but some of them are either...

  7. Phoenix from the Ashes: The Story of Star Trek's Fourth Season

    “And then, there we were, back on the air, and my name in the production credits. Which seemed so strange, remembering just a few years ago. At this point, I didn’t think it would last for more than a few weeks, though. Hell, no-one did.” You Think You’ve Got Tribbles: Memories of a Script...

  9. Phoenix from the Ashes: The Story of Star Trek's Fourth Season

    “There was a running gag that on Star Trek, the doughnuts were cut in half. On the fourth season, we could have only dreamed of having doughnuts.” You Think You’ve Got Tribbles: Memories of a Script Editor on the Starship Enterprise, David Gerrold “Unquestionably, there was less time and...

  10. Phoenix from the Ashes: The Story of Star Trek's Fourth Season

    Another reason why no-one's going to try and stop him - he isn't changing studios, and Mission has a lot more friends in Paramount Corporate at this point. Terry Nation had quite a few stock names...expect the guest star to be named 'Tarrant'. I will say that it does not involve the Daleks...

  12. Phoenix from the Ashes: The Story of Star Trek's Fourth Season

    Landau had been seriously considered for the role of Spock OTL, again when it looked like Nimoy wouldn't come back for the Second Season...and I think that Star Trek can only dream of such advanced technology and funding in its Fourth Season! They really are doing this on a shoestring. What...

    “He wanted a shapeshifter! On our budget! We all laughed at that before we realized that he was actually serious, and we had to talk him down from it. Ultimately, the one thing we already had was a lot of ears.” You Think You’ve Got Tribbles: Memories of a Script Editor on the Starship...

    “We were wiped out, off the schedule, killed. I was looking for other things to do next year, and finding that everyone still thought of me as Captain Kirk. Fortunately, so did Paramount.” Star Trek Memories, William Shatner “It was an easy decision, yes. Do I regret it? A little...

  16. Ex Luna, Scientia

    Essentially, yes, but Nova remained on the books for a while as a 'super-Saturn'. This one is essentially the Saturn reborn – not much additional capacity, but, ironically, more safeguards, uprated electronics, that sort of thing...which ends up causing the problems with taming the Nova II. The...

  17. Ex Luna, Scientia

    NASA had always pegged 'Nova' for a Saturn-successor; this doesn't follow any of those original blueprints, but uses some of the design work...and once a program has been named, it can be hard to change... (Besides, I always liked the name!)

  20. Ex Luna, Scientia

    “The legacy of John F. Kennedy has been comprehensibly betrayed. He gave the United States a new frontier in the stars, and a collection of short-sighted men stole it away. No American is currently in space. No one is planning to return on the Moon. Meanwhile the Soviets have three men orbiting...
