Re: Best SF Series that Almost Were
As I recall, there was an idea to do a series of 2-hour TV movies revolving around Captain Sulu and the Excelsior (ironically, the original idea for Battlesar Galactiica was for a series of 2-hour movies, then ABC changed their minds and wanted a weekly).
I've heard it never got off the ground because the character(s) would be owned by the Gene Roddenberry estate, leaving those responsible for Star Trek; the Next Generation, Deep Space 9, V'ger, etc without a cash cow.
Regards,
