I only had two pieces of information which I added. I have a copy of the book from which I was relaying the information as I was writing it. So the statements are accurate. Someone may wish to embed links. Your software is different from what I am accustomed to using. Plus, too many links tends to clutter an article.

Wise was clearly in error about Ilia. The book was written by Roddenberry after the screenplay & story were completed; according to the front cover.

Wise probably only skimmed over the story to begin with. Many directors actually brag about not having watched the show as if they believe it would endear them to the audience somehow. I consider it a lack of respect & negligence in preparing for the job.

I also remembered watching the interviews on TV at the time this movie was being filmed, where the LA Star Trek fan club talked about appearing as extras on the film. Especially in the Rec room scene & how some of them had been involved with creating some of the ideas for unusual crew member designs. Their club had been the most involved in the efforts to bring back Star Trek at the time. So the opportunity to be on the film was Roddenberry's way of thanking them. They had been involved in numerous letter writing campaigns & helping Gene pressure various obstacles.

I believe the fan club was similarly involved in Star Trek 4, The Voyage home in the scenes where the crew was on trial. I believe the trial audience was mostly the fan club as was Star Trek 6 at the very end in Khitomer from what I was told. But those were both second hand info.

The info I added for the first movie was directly firsthand.

I don't have anything else of value to add. However, I may need a snail mail address in a week or 2 if someone has it. I'm just finishing a new TV series proposal. I just have a few more episode overviews to complete. I doubt they will do anything with it, but it can't hurt to try. And it has the benefit of being a new approach. Hopefully, by including the episode synopses to cover several seasons; they can't claim to have run out of ideas.

I do have a question. One of the keepers on "the Cage" has always reminded me of Hayden Rorke. (Dr Bellows on I dream of Jeannie). While I realize they said the Talos IV keepers were all women... but if you turn off the dubbed voices, the main keeper who talks about the food & assimilates the data at the end has always reminded me of Hayden Rorke. But I haven't done a side by side comparison. It is just something about that particular Keepers face which looks similar to Hayden.
