In #MissionLogGeneology, @thelogbook.bsky.social & I take a look at a script #GeneRoddenberry wrote for Target: The Corrupters! But the script he wrote was so altered by the time it got to screen that he got "story by" instead of "written by." @roddenberrypod.bsky.social #nerdlyfe
On this week's #MissionLogGeneology, @thelogbook.bsky.social & I take a look at another unsold pilot from #GeneRoddenberry. "A. P. O. 923" is interesting, & gives us the first prototype of Kirk, Spock, and Bones. Give us a listen! CC: @roddenberrypod.bsky.social #StarTrek #nerdlyfe buff.ly/kBA7nHC

Thanks! Credit where it’s due—I couldn’t remember where I heard it or read it during our recording. It was me paraphrasing my big bro and #MissionLogGeneology cohost, @thelogbook.bsky.social in our 3x04 chat or one of our other many Trek conversations.

. @thelogbook.bsky.social and I are back on #MissionLogGeneology, covering the first of four #GeneRoddenberry scripts for #JeffersonDrum. Join us for "Law & Order," a script that is as shockingly fresh today as it was in 1958. CC: @roddenberrypod.bsky.social #StarTrek #nerdlyfe
It’s nice when your trip to meet coworkers is also a family reunion. Glad to have gotten 3D time w/ my bro & #MissionLogGeneology cohost @thelogbook.bsky.social & my sister @ohtheprofanity.com. Thankful that @andlooksaround.bsky.social had as much fun as we did! @roddenberrypod.bsky.social

This week on #MissionLogGeneology, @thelogbook.bsky.social and I take a look at the last script #GeneRoddenberry wrote for #Shannon, and spoiler alert, this might be the most #StarTrek script that's not Star Trek that we've ever covered. Listen: buff.ly/B2nZ5K7 CC: @roddenberrypod.bsky.social
Candy Moore as Donna and George Nader as Shannon in the title card for Gene-ology episode 74, "Embezzler's Daughter."

The script cover for "The Joan Crawford Show" pilot. The cover sheet is blue with handwritten text that reads "The Joan Crawford Show" (Pilot), "A Man's World" 3367. Then in typewriter print beneath says "Screenplay by Gene Roddenberry. THIRD DRAFT May 26, 1961"
On today's #MissionLogGeneology, @thelogbook.bsky.social & I take a peek at a #GeneRoddenberry-penned script for The #JoanCrawford Show pilot. A show about a tough-as-nails lady lawyer, this is one of the more interesting things we've covered! CC: @roddenberrypod.bsky.social buff.ly/iRlSxRb
#MissionLogGeneology is BACK, baby! @thelogbook.bsky.social and I sat down to learn "The Lesson," the one episode #GeneRoddenberry wrote for #TwoFacesWest. We had a lot of thoughts on this one! #StarTrek #nerdlyfe buff.ly/7p2sG6M
