Hey, I got script versions of all nine movies today (txt-files, not hardcopies). They seem to be pretty reliable, allthough some of them seem to be earlier versions (like FC which has a completely different touch about the same topic - if you read it, you know what I mean).
However, there's one question I have: I included Ticonderoga in my script as part of Insurrection. I don't know anything about the original version, but the german version of the movie does not include any reference to that ship. I checked the script and it is Worf who has that like, just before Quark beams down (funny dialogue between him and Picard, BTW). He arrived with that ship and Worf isn't very happy to see him. Since the scene was cut, do you think I should still include it?
'Nother one: Ster Trek IV; script mentiones USS Excelsior and USS Intrepid being docked at Spacedock, probe arrives and when the dock officer wants to open the doors systems crash. It even has a one-liner for the Intrepid-captain. (And FYI, the name of USS Shepards captain is Clampett, and the ship transported the 'Vegan D'-virus when they were neutralized, causing an infectio of the crew. 15 already died.) You see the difference? Intrepid was cut, but appearantly the dialogue of Lt. Trillya remained since she was visible on-screen. Canon?
(Did you know the FC-battle including the new Endeavour took an entirely new direction? They had a Borg vs. Federation mega-battle, dozens of ships on each side. And the Endeavour was not Hayes flagship. It was just blown up. Hayes contacted Enterprise - which had 47 decks in this early version - from his flagship, the USS Intrepid. I wonder why they all include the Intrepid in their scripts. No mentioning of USS Bozeman, but the docter in the town of Ressurection mentiones that city as being 200 miles away.)
Sorry for the long post, just had a fantastic read over the last hours and wanted to share some information (For now, I only read FC, TVH and Insurrection, along with parts of FF.).

That's geocities. The link will be down after a certain transfer rate. And that transfer rate isn't that high (3GB per month max, conted in hours.). I once uploaded a scan from the Jackill's SRM, 2x700KB, and it was permanently down so I had to remove them.

Added info: I checked the headlines, all scripts are the final drafts, only FC is the first draft, dated September '95.

OK, let's see, I'll go to bed now (yes, I know, I'm evil, but it's late over here... ), if anyone can help, get into contact with me or post here. Will be back tomorrow.

I've got a cable connection and unlimited webspace. Go ahead and e-mail me the scripts at [email protected] and I'll post them for everyone.

Yes. The scene may have been cut but the ship is listed in the Encyclopedia as well.

Can you at least post a transcript of these tidbits? I'd like to see. If it's the final script, I'd sure like to think it would count...
