Star Trek Minutiae: Exploring the Details of Science Fiction

Sometimes it really helps to go back to the original source! But watching the episode—or even skimming it—can be time consuming. So why not let the computer search the text for you? I’ve collected the scripts of every episode of The Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , and the first 10 movies.

All episodes are stored in plain text format.

Archivist’s Note: All of these scripts were obtained from other published sources; the complete scripts for TOS, Voyager , and Enterprise are not available right now. (Please don’t ask me about getting more scripts added, I’ve posted all the files I’ve found.)

The Making of Star Trek: Phase II

After several attempts to bring Star Trek to the silver screen, Paramount decided in 1977 to produce a second television series, called Phase II .

Barry Diller, Paramount’s president, had been concerned about the direction in which Chris Bryant and Allan Scott were taking the franchise with their script for the proposed movie Planet of the Titans . He turned to Gene Roddenberry and suggested it was time to take Star Trek back to its original context: television.

When Phase II was officially announced on June 10, 1977, fans learned it would become the flagship of a Paramount television network.

The advantage of setting up a network was obvious: the studio was cutting out the middleman.

As a content provider to the networks, Paramount would produce a series, license it to a network, often at a loss, and then watch as the network sold the series to advertisers at a profit. Only when, and if, the series went to syndication would the studio have a chance to earn extra money.

But, in the case of licensing a Paramount-produced series to a Paramount-owned network, one division of the company would be selling to another and all the money would stay in the family.

That offered the possibility that a series could at least break even, without the long wait until syndication. And syndication could be a never-ending stream of income, as Paramount’s “79 jewels” proved year after year.

Those 79 were, of course, the original Star Trek episodes.

Another advantage was that Star Trek attracted television’s most vaunted demographic: men aged 18 to 34.

The plan was for an all-new Star Trek television series to anchor the new Paramount network. Star Trek: Phase II was officially a go. A two-hour made-for-TV movie would lead the way in February 1978, to be followed each week by a brand new, one-hour episode, airing between 8 and 9 at night.

Gathering a team

Gene Roddenberry was ecstatic. After five year of false starts, all the pieces were at last falling into place. It was time to be Star Trek ’s lightning rod again and gather a team.

Roddenberry hired two producers. Robert Goodwin, who was an assistant to Paramount’s head of television production, would be responsible for the technical side of things. For the writing side, Roddenberry hired noted novelist and screenwriter Harold Livingston.

Neither had worked with Roddenberry before. Goodwin was meant to produce made-for-TV movies for Paramount and later said he was “strong-armed” into doing Star Trek . Livingston described himself as “totally unwashed” when it came to Star Trek , but he and Roddenberry hit it off.

We had similar backgrounds. We had both been in the Air Force during the war and we both worked for civilian airlines after the war.

Livingston persuaded Roddenberry to promote his assistant, Jon Povill, to story editor.

“Harold had not been very familiar with the old series at all,” Povill recalled years later, “and kind of relied on me to monitor whether something fit with Star Trek or not.”

A final team member Roddenberry enlisted was an old friend: Matt Jefferies, Star Trek ’s first art director. He was working on Michael Landon’s hit series Little House on the Prairie at the time and was reluctant to give it up for the sake of thirteen new Star Trek episodes. But Roddenberry was adamant. Only Jefferies, he said, could update the Enterprise . With Landon’s blessing, Jefferies joined the Phase II crew as a “technical advisor”.

Landon made clear that Jefferies’ work for Star Trek could not get in the way of his responsibilities on Little House . That’s how Jefferies came to recommend his friend Joe Jennings as the new Star Trek art director.

Other Star Trek veterans who joined the crew included Mike Minor in the Art Department and William Ware Theiss as costume designer. Lee Cole joined the graphics team. She would go on to have a big influence on the sets of the first two Star Trek motion pictures.

The bigger challenge was getting the cast back together. William Shatner demanded more money. Leonard Nimoy was unwilling to return at all.

In order to fill the void created by Spock’s absence, three new characters were added — and hopes were that Nimoy might be persuaded to occasionally reprise his role in guest appearances.

Replacing Spock on the bridge would be Lieutenant Xon, a young and bright Vulcan science officer. Unlike Spock, Xon would have virtually no knowledge of the human equation. He would try to imitate humans in order to get closer to the crew. “We’ll get some humor out of Xon trying to simulate laughter, anger, fear and other human feelings,” Roddenberry wrote. (Sound like any androids we know?)

The second new character was Commander Will Decker, son of the Commodore Matt Decker who was killed in “The Doomsday Machine”. Contrary to his antagonist relationship with Kirk in The Motion Picture , the Phase II Decker would greatly admire the captain. The character was created with the possibility that Shatner might eventually become too expensive for the show in mind.

The final addition was Lieutenant Ilia, a bald Deltan, whose race was marked by its heightened sexuality. She would have empathetic abilities and a history with Decker, foreshadowing the character of Counselor Troi.

Povill argued that the new characters helped tremendously in finding new stories to tell:

I think the biggest challenge was coming up with things that weren’t repeats of ideas which had already been explored.

He particularly liked Xon.

I thought there was something very fresh in having a nice young Vulcan to deal with, somebody who was trying to live up to a previous image. That, to me, was a very nice gimmick for a TV show that was missing Spock.

Going boldly

Television had changed a lot since The Original Series aired more than a decade ago. Roddenberry told Starlog magazine in March 1978 that the second series could be bolder than the first:

The audience is certainly more sophisticated and able to reach their minds out further. The audience is ready for statements on sex, religion, politics and so on, which we never would have dared to make before.

In his guide to Star Trek writers, Roddenberry advised:

We will use science fiction to make comments on today, but today is now a dozen years later than the first Star Trek . Humanity faces many new questions and puzzles which were not obvious back in the 1960s, all of them suggesting new stories and themes.

But some things would not change. Star Trek was still a show about people. Science and gadgetry could not distract from the plot. Captain Kirk and his crew were heroes and should always react as such. Their home base was the Enterprise .

A movie after all

Jefferies was upgrading the Enterprise . Sophisticated new aluminum phasers, following the same design as the original wood-and-plastic ones, were being built, some with working strobe lights and detachable battery packs. Sets were going up on Paramount’s Stage 9. Goodwin reported:

All frames and platforms have been built for the bridge… By tomorrow we will have a layout on the stage floor for the corridor and by the beginning of next week we will start framing and constructing the corridor walls.

Livingston had recruited a slew of science-fiction writers: Margaret Armen, Alan Dean Foster, Arthur Heinemann, John Meredyth Lucas, James Menzies, Theodore Sturgeon, Worley Thorne, Shimon Wincelberg. Only Sturgeon ultimately didn’t turn in his story.

In addition, he was receiving unsolicited pitches and scripts from many more authors. “They keep coming in and the response from writers is totally overwhelming,” Livingston reported in a memo. Most were turned down and Star Trek quickly developed a reputation as the “hardest sell in town”.

Heinemann pitched, and Foster wrote, the show’s pilot, “In Thy Image”. It incorporated Goodwin’s suggestion that, for the first time on Star Trek , Earth would be directly threatened. If that was the case, then the Enterprise needed to be close to Earth — make that, still in Earth orbit — because… it was just finishing its refit!

A meeting was called for August 3, to be attended by Goodwin, Livingston and Roddenberry, as well as studio executives Michael Eisner, Arthur Fellows and Jeffrey Katzenberg. At the meeting, Goodwin pitched “In Thy Image”, hoping it would receive Eisner’s blessing as the Phase II pilot.

The meeting didn’t go as expected. Eisner was so excited by the story, he said, “We’ve been looking for the feature for five years and this is it.”

Goodwin recalled years later that Eisner slammed his hand on the table — “and that was when it happened.” Less than a month after Phase II had been announced, it was canceled. Star Trek was going to be a movie after all.

The catch was, nobody in the meeting could talk about it. New deals would have to be negotiated with the cast, with producers, with Gene Roddenberry himself. New budgets would have to be calculated. If, for whatever reason, a movie could not be made, Paramount would face the embarrassment of needing to publicly reverse its decision yet again. Phase II was dead. But it would be five months until the body stopped twitching.

Until then, a group of dedicated, talented men and women toiled on to create a series they and millions of fans could be proud of, never knowing that the studio had little intention of making it.

This is of course my opinion, but – I’ve read the storylines submitted for Phase II , and none of them were very good. One, “Tomorrow and The Stars”, was “City on the Edge of Forever” redux. I doubt that the Phase II series would have lasted beyond the first thirteen episodes, and Star Trek would then have been dead for good. Only three Phase II stories were ever filmed – “In Thy Image” became The Motion Picture , “The Child” and “Devil’s Due” were filmed for The Next Generation . The rest are collecting dust on a shelf somewhere; I think that says a lot.

Movie poster included in this post is a fake. Wrong font for Star Trek . Real poster has the correct logo, and also includes a picture of Persis Khambatta. Also, this poster incorrectly identifies Decker as a lieutenant.

Why would anyone produce a fake? I think the more likely explanation is that there were different versions of the poster.

If I may assist? It’s most certainly NOT a fake. That image was in the first wave of advertisement for the film. This is how it appeared in Starlog . Note the Enterprise : it’s not as it appears in The Motion Picture , for example, the main sensor dish still had the original spike antenna as seen on The Original Series . Hope that helps.

Thanks for clarifying!

The poster was not at fake. I got several copies at a science-fiction convention prior to the film’s release, supplied by a PR firm hired by Paramount. Also, Nick, I think that the costume and phaser drawings you have are associated with The Motion Picture , not Phase II . Note that they are attributed to Brick Price. The phasers were to have been ‘revamps’ of The Original Series props made by Brad Nelson. As for the quality of the material purchased/turned in for the new series, I have to agree. I’ve read the treatments and scripts and – with the single exception of “Kitumba”, all were flawed to a degree in which even radical rewrites couldn’t have rendered them shootable.

You may be right about those drawings. The dates on them say they’re from December 1978, and the decision to make The Motion Picture instead of Phase II had definitively been made by then.

I agree about that poster. I saw a small version of it on the back of a magazine (or was it a comic book?) sometime in mid- to late-1979, before the film was released. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see it. It meant we would soon have more Star Trek to watch and enjoy.

Definitely not a fake! And yes, it was published on the back cover of comics back then.

People assume that this show wouldn’t have been good or that this show would have killed the series as a whole off. And that may be right, but It’d be interesting to see the filmed episodes. The Next Generation was good, and Voyager , but neither stopped the series from dying eventually.

I doubt Phase II would have failed, at least not in Season 1. A halfway reasonable set of five scripts and getting replacements written en route to filming – which happens not infrequently. The whole issue would have fallen to “how acceptable were Decker, Ilea, and Xon” and whether the actors could pull them off. And, let’s not forget, even Buck got a second season…

I agree! I think it probably would have followed a path similat to The Next Generation . The first season or so might have been so-so, but would have gotten better as it went along.

All this makes me more impressed by the fact that The Motion Picture was something Hollywood hadn’t truly attempted to date: a feature film inspired by a television series. Gutsy move by all concerned, for that would either work big-time or fail big-time.

I wonder how, if Phase II had gone ahead, Kirk would have been portrayed, whether William Shatner would have tried to retain the youthful charismatic arrogance or if his portrayal would have matched The Motion Picture with the self-doubts and resentment of Decker.

Star Trek Phase II “Kitumba” – A Slice of SciFi Review

January 1, 2014 By S. K. Sloan 11 Comments

This episode boasts of several new developments. It is the last in which Cawley will star as Captain James T. Kirk after 10-years in the center seat. His duties as Senior Executive Producer of this and several other growing projects within his production company ( Cawley Entertainment Company/Retro Film Studio LLC ) can no longer afford him the pleasure of portraying his childhood idol – James Kirk. The seat on the bridge of the Enterprise will now be filled by actor Brian Gross as Captain Kirk when the episode “The Holiest Thing” debuts later this year.

The story written by John Meredyth Lucas was a concept originally submitted for the undeveloped continuation of Captain Kirk and crew for a followup television production in the 1970’s which would have seen the return of William Shatner and the rest of the Star Trek actors to their former roles in the Original Series. However, the network never picked it up and the Star Trek movie franchise was born with “Star Trek the Motion Picture.”

Cawley’s Star Trek Phase II series ( formally called Star Trek New Voyages ) opted the Lucas script for their famous online Trek series. Many of the ideas formulated in the original script were eventually made manifest in some of the Klingon backstory found throughout the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series.

Cawley makes very little change to the Lucas script keeping in tact much of the original ideas and concepts found there. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise are sent on a secret mission to the Klingon home world Qo’nos, much of which is still very shrouded in mystery to the Federation and Starfleet. With the help of a Klingon that is aiding the Federation, Starfleet intelligence learns that a strong faction within the Klingon government is planning a war on a massive scale against the United Federation of Planets in strict violation of the Organian Treaty. The leader of this growing faction is bold because it appears the Organians are no longer monitoring the activity between the Federation and the Empire. It becomes the job of Kirk and crew to thwart this attempt at war which would ultimately mean the destruction of both sides. Kirk finds himself walking on the razor-sharp edge of Klingon tradition, duty and their perception of honor.

This “Kitumba” episode is a major informational bridge between what we knew of the Klingons from The Original Series (TOS) and how we came to understand them in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine and if for no other reason for canon and continuity sake that makes this a must see episode. Fortunately, Cawley and his top notch professional cast and crew give us many more reasons than just this one to watch.

“Kitumba” continues the Phase II tradition of bringing in favorite top named sci-fi stars and crew members of the original series and other favorite iconic shows. Gil Gerard ( Buck Rogers in the 25th Century ) makes an appearance as Admiral Jack Sheehan. John Carrigan ( The Brittas Empire, Star Trek: Renegades ) returns as the Klingon Captain Kargh. Vic Mignogna ( Star Trek Continues, Star Trek: Renegades ) deliciously portrays the antagonist Malkthon, and Kario Pereira-Bailey ( Alpha House ) takes on the role of the mysterious adolescent Emperor of the Klingon Empire and blood descendent of Kahless.

Costume designer William Ware Theiss worked to bring the attire of both Federation, Klingon and other alien races fit perfectly in that TOS world. Theiss was a costumer on the set of The Original Series and The Next Generation.

It is in this episode we finally learn how the Klingon Empire we became so familiar with during The Next Generation’s 7-year run was born. How it moved from Emperor worship to the beginnings of the Klingon Chancellory, the early stages of the Klingon High Council and the importance of the different ruling Houses in that Council. Most importantly we learn why the one-time honorable House of Duras was cursed and why by the 24th Century the Duras sisters Lursa and B’Etor were so desperate to regain their family honor by the rule of Klingon.

The picture quality is the best I have yet seen on any sanctioned or non-CBS/Paramount production of Star Trek and rivals anything seen in a theatrical release. Cawley spared no expense to ensure the viewer a stunning view of space, starships and the first real glimpse at the Klingon home world in Kirk’s era.

As with all productions of this sort the acting appears a bit stiff at times and forced at others but that is completely overshadowed by the Patty Wright adaptation of Lucas’ well written script and production quality of the piece.

As a fan of anything Star Trek this one rates high on my must see meter. Download it ASAP – if you have a big screen HD TV I highly recommend viewing it from that medium over your smaller screen computers because the detail and resolution is just that good.

I watched it today and LOVED it. Great episode all the way around.

January 1, 2014 at 9:10 pm

I watched it and was very much impressed! Can’t wait to see the next one!

January 1, 2014 at 9:15 pm

Thanks for the awesome review! Everyone worked very hard on this episode…both production and post production was a labor of love and blood! I do want to correct a basic error though…this episode is changed a lot from JMLs original story drafts. JML set up the Klingon Empire as a mirror to feudal Japan and Sparta. It was going to be the first time we ever saw Klingon culture. We had to change all that because of what we learned about the Klingons in the Feature Films and later Trek series. So, we built a story that (hopefully) explained what happened to the TOS Klingons that turned them into the Klingons we see later in the Trek universe. (We also got rid of the Organians to make it all possible.) Everything “we learn about the Klingon empire” in this episode is original to Phase II – not JMLs original story. In fact, JML only wrote two “writer’s drafts”…this script is Phase IIs, based on the mission JML set up. But I thank you for citing it as a “well written script”.

January 2, 2014 at 8:06 am

Thank-you Patty for clearing some things up here but *mostly* for your fantastic writing that has brought such an important, necessary and very-well-realized story to life! Coupled with your work on “Enemy Starfleet” all fans of TOS owe you a debt of thanks!

January 1, 2014 at 9:16 pm

The animation is superb, Hollywood-quality! The sets, props and costumes are perfect.

January 1, 2014 at 9:22 pm

Also, the Kitumba was a young 8 year old that didn’t really believe Kirk in the end. We turned him into a force to be reckoned with. Actually, we turned him into Peter the Great LOL

January 2, 2014 at 12:10 am

Please give proper credit where it’s due. The teleplay was written by Patty Wright. She took a treatment for what could have been a ponderous two-parter, trimmed it down to one hour, and made it work very well.

January 2, 2014 at 2:09 am

Where to find english subs?

January 2, 2014 at 4:07 am

Great job. Only comments would be to hire better actors. When veterans like Gil Gerard show up, you can really see the difference. He was perfect. Klingon guy…. Not so much. Line delivery was poor and voice NOT Klingon! Vic, however, was awesome! So…. Acting, acting. acting…. Hire real actors with screen cred to polish these gems. Awesome job! Thanks for giving us these new adventures!!!!

January 2, 2014 at 11:38 am

I could not disagree more with Tom. Having watched BOTH STC and Phase 2, I found this episode to be polished and well made. And based on what I have read online, Cawley and Co. have now turned things to accomplished actors with REAL cred. Mignonga played things completely over the top and made a hash up of what could have been an excellent character. The other Klingon “Kesha” played things more in line between the attitude of the TOS Klingons and what would later be TNG Klingons. In addition, he was an older and more educated Klingon and I thought that this part played extremely well on the screen. For a Klingon warrior (past tense) to be a “teacher” and also having to join forces with the Federation….he had a perfect mixture of tolerance and disdain. As for the rest of the team at Phase 2, I applaud this effort and look forward to so much more. STC has yet to grab me. Other than flashy names and part-time celebs, the stories are trite and the characters are vastly overacted. The only character from STC’s first episode that I truly enjoyed other than Chris Doohan was the female officer they cast. She was a bit melodramatic at times but at least I felt that I could believe her character more than the others. But I will watch for more and see if things improve….first episode and all.

January 2, 2014 at 6:02 pm

Overacting is a hallmark of Trek. I would rather see rug-chewing than listless line-delivery.

Warp engines , support pylons, and the interconnecting strut appeared to have the most differences. The primary hull closely resembled its pre-refit design, although there were two turbolifts connected to the bridge . ( The Official Starships Collection Issue Bonus Edition 08: "USS Enterprise NCC-1701 Phase II Concept")

Regarding the crew complement, Most of Kirk’s senior staff from his first five-year mission returned. However, Lieutenant Xon replaced Commander Spock as science officer . Commander Willard Decker served aboard the ship as executive officer . Lieutenant Ilia served as the ship’s navigator . In this version of events, Decker and Ilia survived their encounter with V’Ger in 2273 and continued to serve aboard the ship. ( ST reference : Phase II: The Lost Series )

Uniforms were nearly identical to the Starfleet uniform (2265-2270) . A thin stripe matching the shirt color ran through the middle of the black collar. The insignia was the same as in the Starfleet uniform (early 2270s) . Female security officers wore pants and a shirt with a tight collar. Ilia wore a short-sleeved gold shirt. ( TOS comic : " The Fear ")

The pilot script for Star Trek: Phase II , In Thy Image , was adapted to become the script for TOS movie : The Motion Picture when Paramount chose to produce a major motion picture instead of a TV series. The first half-season of episode scripts had been prepared for the TV series. Complete scripts for " In Thy Image " and " The Child " were published, along with detailed summaries of the other episodes. ( ST reference : Phase II: The Lost Series )

Early TMP script online

Discussion in ' Star Trek Movies I-X ' started by Nightowl1701 , Jan 16, 2012 .

Nightowl1701 Commodore Commodore

I didn't post this script, I just spotted it today. Dated May 1978, it's very much a transitional piece between the Phase II pilot In Thy Image and the July 1978 shooting script (at the same site). After reading it myself, I'm assuming this is the Gene Roddenberry rewrite of Livingston's pilot script that caused Paramount to lure Harold Livingston back into the production. http://www.mypdfscripts.com/star-trek-the-motion-picture-1978-05-17-draft/

Mr Silver Commodore Newbie

Excellent stuff, I'm going to have to take a look at this! Props for finding it!

if this is for real, thank you so much!

Cool, hope someone uploads the First Adventure Script sometime.

Joe_Atari Commander Red Shirt

Thanks Nightowl1701! As a huge TMP fan (in spite of its undeniable flaws), I'm still waiting for a definitive tell-all on its tortured production -- maybe a continuation of the Phase II: Lost Series book. There is still so much to be told about what went wrong and when: the sacking of Abel and Associates, the endless script rewrites (most of what we know comes from Harold Livingston -- hardly an objective source), and the studio machinations that led to Roddenberry's marginalization on the project. The last point is mostly conjecture on my part. I am hardly a blind GR defender, but as I skim this script I'm struck by how much drama and action didn't make it to the screen. Just read the Klingon / V'ger battle scene as written in this draft by GR compared to what we ultimately got. Behind the scenes footage (Abel tests I believe) shows conventionally exploding Klingon ships, so that was obviously the intent from the beginning -- showing the Klingons being graphically and brutally defeated by an unknown force. Instead we got the visually striking -- but also abstract, antiseptic, and lifeless -- digitization and then vanishing effect. Then there are all of the small character moments I see in this draft between Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Scott that were jettisoned (by Livingston with the support of the studio?) -- character moments that might have addressed many critics' complaints about the film and brought it more in line with the more character-driven Harve Bennett films that followed. I know how quickly the film was edited to make its locked-in release date, but how could they drop so much (I believe) Roddenberry-derived material such as the "Spock tears" scene -- a scene that when reinserted into the ABC telecast garnered almost unanimous praise? My theory has always been that TMP's flaws and cost overruns were largely the result of studio waffling and second-guessing and less due to Roddenberry's incompetence. Sure GR was probably in over his head once Phase II became TMP, but I've always thought he was unfairly maligned and never really (to my knowledge) defended himself. Much was written during his declining years and after his death (by Livingston, Shatner, Nimoy, et al) but did GR ever personally address the production of TMP in an interview? Was it not the studio that brought in Robert Wise (a legend and deservedly so, but IMHO just the wrong choice for this project) whose Andromeda Strain-esque approach to the material may have led to many if not most of the "Motionless Picture" cracks over the years? I always enjoy seeing the TMP / TNG connections (e.g. the "Tasha" name for the Ilia probe, the Decker / Riker and Ilia / Troi parallels, the reuse of the TMP theme for TNG, etc.) as GR's vindication for his TMP experience and removal from the film series ("Executive Consultant"? Ouch). The heavily Roddenberry-influenced first season of TNG was much like TMP -- flawed but ultimately successful -- but in that case Roddenberry was not unceremoniously pushed aside by the studio and allowed to keep his mantle until his death. I've always felt that TMP in any of its forms (even the IMO unjustifiably vaunted "Director's Edition") never did the In Thy Image story justice, where most believe the film was not well served by the story. It would probably never be green-lit, but I'd love to see this story revisited -- maybe not as Star Trek at all. Heck it originated as an unused treatment for GR's Genesis II; why not? So how many of the Livingston / Roddenberry TMP drafts have been leaked over the years (supposedly there were quite a few as the two battled back and forth)? I think this is the first I've seen.

Maurice Snagglepussed Admiral

This is definitely a different draft than I've seen previously. So far some is really familiar, other bits...not so much. I'll reserve comment until I've read the whole thing.

Which episodes where based on phase II script? : r/startrek
The only three Phase II scripts used/adapted for the screen were TMP, The Child in TNG S2 and Devil's Due in TNG S4, the last two due to the writers strike during TNG's second season. From what I understand the only other fullish script made in the 70's was one for Kitumba, which was a Klingon focused two parter that's probably slightly incompatible with what they've become over the years.
