[edit] Where No Man Has Gone Before (TOS episode)
Hello. Thanks for the work on Where No Man Has Gone Before (TOS episode). You may have or may not have noticed that I've requested Wikipedia:Peer review on it, with an eye to nominating it as a featured article in future. Any comments you might have on it, or leads for more information I could add, would be great. Thanks! Morwen - Talk 16:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] To boldly go
My understanding is that the narration in the February 1966 cut was basically an extended version of the "Captain's Log" entry that made it into the final cut.
Now, this narration :
- "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission: to explore strange new worlds... to seek out new life, and new civilizations... to boldly go where no man has gone before."
There are memos in Inside Star Trek detailing how was developed, in August 1966.interweb has it
I think the article used to be saying that the credits narration was a cut down version of Kirk's initial narration in the Feb 66 cut : this also seems to be what you are implying in your last edit. The textual history presented in Inside Star Trek doesn't support that idea. Morwen - Talk 10:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, this edit changed
"The episode's name is the first usage of the phrase "Where No Man Has Gone Before" in Star Trek. The phrase would be incorporated into the opening credits sequence in following episodes, as part of a longer voice-over given by Captain Kirk"
to have "shorter" instead of "longer".
My intent behind this sentence is to note that
- the episode coined the phrase "Where no man has gone before"
- then in August when they were scrabbling around for a catchy credits voice-over they used the episode name "where no man has gone before" as part of the phrase
- this is not in any way linked with any of the narrations at the start of "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
The 'longer' in my version is comparing the voiceover in the subsequent episodes to the episode name. I don't know what 'short' compares with : it seems to be saying that there "Space: The Final Frontier" speech is a cut-down version of some other narration, which it patently isn't. (it has somewhat similar thematic content to Kirk's log entry at the start of the Executive's cut, I'll grant, but none of the wording is the name, and we get a cut down version of that log entry in the final episode anyway) Morwen - Talk 21:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ok. By the way, may I note that is an excellent resource you have there. I noticed the other day that we had acquired a list at List of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes of unproduced scripts/stories - it seems entirely genuine and fits with material I have read elsewhere but was uncited - I wonder if you could help find a source for it?

If roddenberry.com is selling copies of unproduced or other people's that's certainly good enough for me (although he it may not be good enough for Harlan). Morwen - Talk 23:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
