TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted April 13, 2003 Does anyone know if there are any books on the subject and the amount of film footage that has survived? Also, what do you think about ST Phase 2? Would it have been as popular or more popular than TNG? Would it have done well without Mr Spock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted April 14, 2003 No episodes were filmed, as the pilot was turned into the movie. There's a book out with detailed information on Star Trek: Phase II including many pictures! I doubt it would be very successful. It'd be like... ROSWELL - without Liz Parker THE X FILES - without Dana Scully STARGATE SG-1 - without Daniel Jackson (he's back for the final season, woo-hoo!) Star Trek: The Next Generation - without Data Smallville - without Lex Luther See, these are essential characters. Spock was simply part of Star Trek.

Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted April 14, 2003 THE X FILES - without Dana Scully Or Fox Mulder Anyway...I think the show would have died....Thank GoodNess Lucas did Star Wars....and that it was successful The Star Trek "Suits"-Yeeees...Feature Films!! Ofcourse!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted April 14, 2003 I always got the impression that it would be quite like Battlestar Galactica in its general feel i.e. very 70s. In the end I think television movies would have been the best to hope for after that series had gone, however, it could be argued that TNG was a redress of Phase 2, so maybe it might have worked? We will never know!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted April 17, 2003 This may be a stupid question, but what is Phase II? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted April 17, 2003 Star Trek: Phase II was the original idea for a spin-off series, following the cronicles of Kirk's 2nd five-year-mission, including everyone except Spock, as the actor didn't want to return to tv... However, Star Wars came out and was a huge success. Paramount went back and forth deciding on a movie or Phase II, by the time they decided to do a movie, they sent people begging for Leonard Nimoy to return as Spock! Being the nice man that he is, he gave in! :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These people were all esential to the show. It just wouldn't have been remotely the same without them (...haven't seen Smallville, though so I dunno what your talking about...but I'll take your word for it.)

ddillard 2 Posted April 18, 2003 Thanks for the info. I had not heard about that one. I guess I am a little young to remember that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
