My comments may have been misconstrued earlier. Where Gene has added pieces or descriptions to the existing film I find it becomes obvious where what was screened and his twist begins.Some Kind of Star Trekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078684096109641287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704244740681306525.post-227075984336858202020-05-30T23:43:01.825+01:002020-05-30T23:43:01.825+01:00Alan Dean Foster writes in the comments on Trek Mo...Alan Dean Foster writes in the comments on Trek Movies old post that he didn't write any of the book.<br /><br />When I was a lad, I read the animated series short stories over and over.

What I mean by the above is that it's clear where Roddenberry's additions start and the filmed material finishes. While I'm in no doubt he wrote the book, it does come across as a cut and paste from the movie then embellished with his own pieces. Respect where respect is due for your original material.Some Kind of Star Trekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078684096109641287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704244740681306525.post-70581317223596219982020-05-29T17:11:35.081+01:002020-05-29T17:11:35.081+01:00With a nod to Susan, I state categorically (as I h...With a nod to Susan, I state categorically (as I have on numerous previous occasions) that I had nothing whatsoever to do with the writing of the book.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932518191233081083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704244740681306525.post-85537679469214874162020-05-25T13:50:22.373+01:002020-05-25T13:50:22.373+01:00I'd say to a degree on TNG but he lost it just...I'd say to a degree on TNG but he lost it just as quickly due to all the infighting, resignations and people who just couldn't work with him. <br /><br />From the structure you can easily tell where Roddenberry had input versus ADF.
