205: The Lost Episodes

NBC cancelled Star Trek during its third season two episodes shy of 26. Zach and Ken review the scripts that were written for episodes 25 and 26 as well as other written scenarios for the series prior to cancellation. In this episode of Standard Orbit hosts Zach Moore and Ken Tripp provide the synopsis of each of these scripts and provide their thoughts on how they would have been received. Some very interesting plots, a returning villain, and the directorial debut from one of the key cast members were part of the plan that was not to be. Join us for another fascinating episode of Standard Orbit.
