So, full disclosure: I have a credit in that last Roddenberry Archive video, under Special Thanks.

Normally, I don't like to toot my own horn, and wasn't going to really say anything about it, until I noticed that I'm just above Susan Sackett in the Special Thanks block.

Susan Sackett wrote "The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture." It was this book that I read in 1984, at the ripe old age of 10, that taught me there were Star Treks that didn't get made: The God Thing, Planet of the Titans, Star Trek (Phase) II.

That lead to years and years and years of accreting information about all those projects. Checking scripts at Sci Fi cons, finding scripts online, asking around for copies of rarities, reading books and exposes about those years (in fact, I'm about to go to the post office for a copy of a script with revisions I dont have!). It's 2025, I just turned 51. And all that work now helped create this short, as well as the ST:TMP Special Features, which I also have a credit on.

So, along with Michael Okuda and David C. Fein for those credits, a big heartfelt thank you to Susan Sackett. Happy to sit next to you in that little credits block. :)
