As long as we've gone OT...
Sounds like fun. Back when TNG was on, I came VERY close to selling to them.
I sent in a spec script (about a Romulan who was genetically linked to Picard
and more or less a nemesis to him, but it had elements of the story going on
with Tasha's daughter, so it wasn't bought), and was pitching to Ron Moore
(yes-- now the Ron Moore of Galactica!) until they shut the doors on all
freelancers to do the 2 parter with Spock. After that, they kept the doors
shut while dealing with Roddenberry's death. I never flew out there. My
agent was the one that got Ron in the door there, so the got me phone
pitches, which I hear they didn't do very often.
