Star Trek: The Original Series: Vulcan's Glory

Years before he came to be known as the best first officer in the fleet, Spock was a conflicted young ensign, serving on the Starship Enterprise™ under Captain Christopher Pike. Struggling to reconcile his many obligations -- those forced on him by his Vulcan heritage, and those chosen by him upon his enrollment in Starfleet Academy -- Spock must also balance the desires of his own heart. 
Those conflicting demands intersect during a mission to retrieve one of his world's most sacred artifacts, a relic of Vulcan's ancient past -- the search for which will reveal dark and deadly secrets, forever altering the course of Spock's life and defining the man he became.
A classic tale from D. C. Fontana, one of Star Trek®'s original producers and the writer of such classic episodes as "Journey to Babel" and "This Side of Paradise."

SCRIPTS
<ul>
<li>"Born to the Purple" by Larry DiTillio</li>
<li>"The War Prayer" by D.C. Fontana</li>
<li>"DeathWalker" by Larry DiTillio</li>
<li>"Believers" by David Gerrold</li>
<li>"Survivors" by Marc Scott Zicree</li>
<li>"Grail" by Christy Marx</li>
</ul>
PLUS A SPECIAL BONUS: David Gerrold's complete outline for "Laser-Mirror-Starweb," a never-produced, never-seen episode of Babylon 5.
All scripts include an introduction/commentary by the writers written exclusively for these volumes revealing how the stories came to be, why these writers made the choices they did, what it was like to write for the Babylon 5 universe, and, most important, what you didn't see.
A sample of what you'll discover in Volume 1:
<ul>
<li>Why "dust" was originally introduced in "Born to the Purple," but then taken out.</li>
<li>What novel inspired Garibaldi's cat and mouse game with Ivanova in "Born to the Purple."</li>
<li>The identity of Londo's real alter-ego.</li>
<li>What mistake was made in "Born to the Purple" that was corrected in "TKO."</li>
<li>Which character originally had six gill-like slots at the base of their back.</li>
<li>Revealed -- the real reason the Romeo and Juliet lovers appear in "The War Prayer."</li>
<li>Why DeathWalker is female.</li>
<li>Who was originally supposed to play Abbutt in "DeathWalker."</li>
<li>Why, while writing "Believers," David Gerrold called J. Michael Straczynski in the middle of the night to tell him "You son of a bitch."</li>
<li>What Andreas Katsulas confided to writer Marc Scott Zicree.</li>
<li>Why the director of "Grail" spent most of his time fuming during the filming.</li>
</ul>
Volume 1 also includes four photos from Christy Marx's private collection, taken during the filming of "Grail."
Even better, most of the included scripts are early drafts that include never-before-seen dialogue and action that were later cut from the episodes.
Because there are so many differences, you also get the Script/DVD Variations inventory, which catalogues all the changes, deletions, additions and extras that were in the script but you never actually got to see in a handy, easy-to-reference grid. If you are one of the lucky ones with a Volume 15 from The Babylon 5 Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, you'll recognize this as being nearly identical to Joe Cuts.
Volume 1 has a total of 20 pages detailing 165 of these B5 Script/DVD variations you probably never knew.
Hidden plot details, secrets of the production finally revealed along with never-before-heard stories of the cast....and what it is really like to work with series creator J. Michael Straczynski.
COLLECTORS TAKE NOTE: All the volumes in the Other Voices series are designed to aesthetically complement your J. Michael Straczynski 14-volume series.
