Where are the rest of the Star Trek scripts?

[Extrocomp]

As far as I know this webpage contains all the Star Trek scripts that have ever been published in various books and CD-ROMS. But I suspect that there are more scripts available somewhere.

The alien species from the episode "Friendship One" are called the Uxali on Memory Alpha. The alien species from the episode "Storm Front" are called the Na'kuhl on Memory Alpha. These names were only revealed in the scripts and those scripts must be available somewhere for the fandom to know about them. Does anyone know where?

Back in 1999 Simon & Schuster Interactive released the Star Trek The Next Generation & Deep Space Nine Companion's on CD-ROM. Both CD's contained every single script for each episode --- except that these scripts were not the final scripts, but thee first drafts.

Then a few years later Simon & Schuster released 2 Scriptbooks (this was around 2000). The first book contained all the Q scripts (except for Voyager's 7th season Q episode as that story was not produced yet). The second book contained a number of scripts from Voyager's season 4 dealing with Seven Of Nine.

In recent years the Roddeberry's company has been selling copies of TOS scripts.

^^yup, I have both of those books.

Those are the same scripts that are available on the Star Trek Minutiae website. I'm asking about the rest. If they aren't available anywhere, then where did the Star Trek fans at Memory Alpha get the names Uxali and Na'kuhl?

 

[JD]

Did the names have to come from the scripts directly? Couldn't they have just come from interviews or behind the scenes stuff from the internet or DVDs/Blu-Rays?

 

[Extrocomp]

I haven't been able to find any behind the scenes stuff that mentions the Na'kuhl, and as far as I know, the Uxali are only mentioned in Star Trek Star Charts.

^Well, look at the credits on Star Charts -- a number of its contributors actually worked on the shows, including author/illustrator Geoffrey Mandel, contributors Doug Drexler and Tim Earls, and consultants Andre Bormanis, Mike Okuda, and Rick Sternbach. (Bormanis was the scientific consultant and later a writing staffer, and the others were in the art department.) And another contributor, Larry Nemecek, was the managing editor of the Communicator fan magazine and the producer of the Startrek.com website. So most of the people behind the book had behind-the-scenes access to the shows.

As for the Na'kuhl, most of the citations in the Memory Alpha article are from Star Trek Magazine or Star Trek Communicator, so the name was probably mentioned by the production staffers interviewed by the magazines, or learned by the magazines' reporters in their research. Naturally the official fan magazines for a show are going to be in regular contact with the show's production team.

If they aren't available anywhere, then where did the Star Trek fans at Memory Alpha get the names Uxali and Na'kuhl?

When those episodes were being promoted online, in official magazines, and at conventions, the terms were used. I distinctly remember publicity shots of the Na'kuhl and them being named as such. The episode was also novelized.

Call sheets were often transcribed before each episode aired, telling us the names of characters/aliens and bit actors who would often ultimately go uncredited.

Scripts and call sheets were often auctioned for charity at conventions.

Are you sure about that? I owned both discs and was sure they were all final drafts. I believe all the scripts on st-minutiae.com are ripped from the CDs and they all say "Final Draft" on them.

Then-Lincoln Enterprises definitely sold a "script subscription" for all of Season One of TNG (until I believe they were asked to stop by the Screen Writers' Guild?). With red covers, the whole subscription turned up in one lump at my front door... in a canvas US Mail sack tied with rope!

 

[Extrocomp]

The episode was also novelized.

No it wasn't.

Do you know if these scripts and call sheets are available anywhere on the internet?

 

[Therin of Andor]

No it wasn't.

Ooops. Sorry, I was working from Memory Beta, and I think managed to jump a paragraph. Normally I have my novelizations sitting on a handy shelf, but they had to get boxed up for housepainting.

Chakoteya isn't really a good resource if you want literal scripts; it's purely transcripts of the episodes, not any of the actual episode scripts themselves.

I just checked my TNG CD-Rom (which surprisingly works on 8.1 but wouldn't work on XP) and a few say "Final Draft", others say "2nd Rev. Final Draft", "Revised Final Draft", but even before I started to look up at the scripts a warning came up saying that these are the scripts that the production departments and actors would've received at the start of filming. As such the scripts do not reflect any rewrites that occurred during filming. Also the copyright notices within the actual scripts mention that the writing credits are not finalized.
