Wow! Now, as you know, most TV series buy more scripts than they can possibly use in a season, simply because they know in advance a couple of ‘em will crap out for various reasons in preproduction. Some of these will get held over for the next season, and some will simply be shelved, never to be seen again. This site http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Undeveloped_Star_Trek_episodes actually links to a metric buttload of unproduced scripts from the ORIGINAL trek from the 60s! Golly! And through a link on that site, I found a whole heck of a lot more here http://www.fastcopyinc.com/orionpress/articles/unseen.htm Here’s a treatment for a script that Shatner himself wrote, which is entertaining as it reads like an episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea http://www.fastcopyinc.com/orionpress/articles/web_of_death.htm Looking in to this, the date it was submitted indicates it was submitted a couple weeks *after* the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode it resembles, and one of the guys at that website told me he had no real doubts The Shat plagiarized it.

I (very occasionally) edit that wiki, and I've never come across that page. Thanks!
