Information

Production

It is in the month of July 1965, that the producer and creative Gene Roddenberry launched the turning of a second pilot for his concept of baptized series SF " Star Trek ".

Indeed a year before, the layings of NBC had rejected a first pilot " The Cage " with Jeffrey Hunter in the role of the captain Christopher Pike, judging this episode far too cerebral for normal Peking.

One will need all the audacity and the roublardise of Roddenberry and the producer Oscar Katz to convince the studio to consider a second pilot. The weapon is simple, Oscar Katz puts the leaders of NBC at the foot of the wall: He recalls them that it is them which chose the script of the first pilot among the three proposed at the beginning (" The Cage " , " The Omega Glory " & " Mudd' S Women "). On Friday, March 26, 1965, NBC makes a single decision and requires of Gene Roddenberry a new pilot, ever seen in the history of the TV!

Gene Roddenberry then revises immediately its copy, and board on two scripts: " The Omega Glory" & " Mudd' S Women" , but it is that of his/her old friend and scenario writer Sam A. Peeples which carries the setting: " Where No man Has Gone Before".

The first script is written on May 27th, 1965, follow-up of a second dated June 16th. The final version will be given on June 28th, then again revised the 8/9 and 14 July 15th.

Does turning thus begin in July 1965 under the direction from James Goldstone, with in the high-speed motorboat the Canadian actor William Shatner in the role of the Capitaine James T. (R.?) Kirk, substitute outgoing Jeffrey Hunter of the role because his wife did not like the show. William Shatner was the third lists some for the attribution of the role of James T. Kirk; among the applicants appear the actors Jack Lord (" Dr. No " , " Hawaii organizes State ") and Lloyd Bridges (" Hot Shots! ").
Majel Barrett in the role of " Number one " it is évincée also, a woman with the capacity was too daring for the time and the studio. But it is the price which Gene had to pay to preserve an essential character, mythical Mr. Spock always interpreted by Leonard Nimoy - a character that the studio wants to eliminate at all costs, because of satanic appearance that its Oreille S confers to him pointed!

This episode marks also the first appearance of the lieutenant Hikaru Sulu (here at the scientific post of officer) interprêté by George Takei, and that of the lieutenant ordering Montgomery " Scotty" Scott (chief-engineer) incarnated by James Doohan.

The script of Peeples being more directed action than " The Cage " , the result likes NBC, which in January 1966 gives finally green light for " Trek" star; !

Although " Where No Man Has Gone Before" is the pilot of the series, he did not have the privilege to be the first diffused episode Star Trek. It is " The Man Trap " who will gain this honor on September 8th, 1966. When with " Where No Man Has Gone Before" , it was diffused later, on September 22nd, 1966, against any form of logic and coherence, since Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley) does not appear there, that the uniforms are still inherited " The Cage " , without speaking about a summary make-up of Spock and without nuance.

Today, there would exist two versions of " Where No Man Has Gone Before" . The first that we all know, via the recent repeat broadcasts and the the DVD, then another longest, that which Gene Roddenberry presented to the studio.
It starts with a sight of our galaxy with the voice of Shatner introducing the mission of the vessel, without however indicating an entry in its log book. The following scene is that of the part of failures between Spock & Kirk. The recovery of the recorder of edge of the S Valiant is followed from there, then the image is immobilized to leave room to fast credits, pointing out that of " The Cage" … The remainder of the additional scenes represents the crew in the corridors when the vessel passes in Red Alert, and introduced important characters like Lt Gary Mitchell (Gary Lockwood), Dr. Mark Piper (Paul Fix) and the physicist Sulu (George Takei). One will note also a topic of Star Trek orchestrated differently by Alexander Courage and a music of end ever heard in the series since.

Today, " Where No Man Has Gone Before" is an invaluable episode, as well from a historical point of view, as set of themes. Gene Roddenberry mingled already learnedly the aspect fun with it and relaxed SF of its time and the reflections thorough and adult on the mankind of which it was deprived up to now. A stage was reached, a phenomenon of the pop culture had just been born…
