Does anyone have The Way to Eden script (any draft)?

[Extrocomp]

According to Memory Alpha, Dr. Sevrin was a Vulcan in an early version of the script. I was the one who added that note back in 2017, but I have no memory of doing so and I don't know where I could've found that information. It must've been from a secondary source because otherwise, I would've mentioned which draft it was in the note.

Does anyone have the script for The Way to Eden and was Sevrin really a Vulcan in an early draft?

Another note on Memory Alpha says:
A research report done by De Forest Research gives his name at the time as "Dr. Thomas Sevrin".
However, there is no citation for this note. The name Thomas Sevrin also appears in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, while the novelization calls him "Ton Sevrin".

Do the names Thomas or Ton appear in any version of the script?

Wasn't the ambassador's son in the group named Ton Rad?
(Chakoteya transcript says "Tongo Rad.")

A Vulcan? Wow… the parallels to Star Trek v just got eerily stronger.

I submit: quasi religious leader takes over the ship in a quest for a forbidden mythical planet.

Someone on Memory Alpha has answered all of my questions with this recent update to the Sevrin article.

how much more fun would Star Trek 5 be though? If Sybok was turning everyone into space hippies!

Wasn't the ambassador's son in the group named Ton Rad?
(Chakoteya transcript says "Tongo Rad.")

The episode calls him Tongo Rad.

A humorous comic from the DC era shows him, in later years, as bald - and with the real name "Herbert", which was pretty funny, but a departure from his Catullan heritage.

If anyone is sufficiently motivated, here’s a link to the chords….

Chordify just taught me how to play along with "Star Trek - The Way to Eden - Eden Song Part 1"!

Pondering this episode…it actually could have been exceedingly good were they to tone down the space hippy angle. (Or just remove it). I like the way they take over the ship a lot better than the way the reboot (Star Trek v) did.

In 2016, the Roddenberry website put out a revised final draft and 2nd revised final draft of The Way to Eden as part of their 50 Years of Star Trek series where they posted a rare script, memo, or image every day that year. Though the website is gone, you can still find some of the PDFs thanks to the Internet Archive.

Turns out the name Ton was in the script after all (page II-25). Thanks for the link.
