Star Trek: To Boldly Go! (Script Archive)

 

This thread is intended as a repository of "scripts" for my Star Trek: To Boldly Go! PBEM campaign. As each episode is finalized I'll work up a Final Draft and post it here (probably as PDF attachments).

 

Note:

PBEM is a slow format, so don't expect frequent updates. It happens when it happens...

 

Note:

"script archive" is fancy-pants-writer-speak for "campaign log."

Star Trek: To Boldly Go! - Season 1 Episode Teaser

 

A shot of astronomical phenomena with a quiet, building background music...

 

V.O. Captain Kira Nerys

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Seraph. Her mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before!"

 

Main Title

STAR TREK: TO BOLDLY GO!

 

Bang! The over-dramatic intro music kicks in large; we get a full two minutes of awe-inspiring astronomical shots and giddy cool-factor views of the Seraph zipping about in space at ludicrous speeds. These are interspersed with shots of the crew and titles introducing each in turn...

 

Starring...

 

Nana Visitor as Captain Kira Nerys... sitting in the command chair looking impressive while making a dramatic "engage" gesture.

 

Ryan Reynolds as Commander Jack Mercer... bending a Klingon woman over backwards and kissing her full on the mouth.

 

Brian Markinson as Doctor Samuel Cabot... doing a half turn, gesturing to the audience with a cigar, and giving a “hey there” grin and wink..

 

Jolene Blalcock as Tactical Officer Talin... lifting a Jem'Hadar warrior one-handed in a nonchalant hottie pose and cocking her head to one side with a "don't mess" version of the Vulcan one-eyebrow quirk .

 

Aron Eisenberg as Operations Officer Nog... leaping through an open doorway sideways and firing a phaser at the screen.

 

Melinda Page Hamilton as Helmsman Yavul Oduni... earnestly pressing the "go button" and giving a serious little "that should do it" nod.

 

Dwight Schultz as Chief Engineer Barclay... a look of astonished concern slamming onto his face as he looks at the warp core.

 

And...

 

Erin Gray as The Seraph... leaning on the bridge rail and smiling into the camera.

 

A final musical flourish and we cut to commercial....

Episode 101 - Outtake - Replimat Scene

 

Outtake!

 

Filming for Star Trek: To Boldly Go! Episode 101: "Full Circle" is underway... and we have our first outtake.

 

To Boldly Go!

Episode 101 - "Full Circle."

Replimat Scene-Outtake

 

Producer-Director Vondy in a crème white suit and cravat with big, red-lensed John Lenon sunglasses on the promenade replimat set. Nicole de Boer and Jack's Player are in costume waiting at their character's breakfast table.

 

A production assistant holds a chalk-board in front of the camera and drones: “To Boldly Go! Episode 101. Replimat Scene. Take Two.”

 

Vondy speaks too loud with overblown emphasis – and too many exclamation marks: “Alright people! From the point where Bashir walks out! I want energy! I want passion! I want drama!” He emphasizes each exclamation point with a full-bodied major league umpire double-finger point: “ACTION!!! ACTION!!! ACTION!!!”

 

Jack's Player looks at Vondy: “Could I have one more 'Action?'”

 

Vondy bellows and backs out of the shot: “ACTION!!!”

 

Ezri turned back to Jack – embarrassed: “Sorry.”

 

Jack dismissed the matter with a shrug: “Mr. Rebound have a name?”

 

“Doctor Samuel Cabot,” Ezri told him, sipping her cocoa. “He's been consulting on Bajor while the Seraph's been in dry-dock.”

 

Another ship Jack had applied for the first officer's position on – with no response. Reminding him Deep Space 9 had become his personal purgatory.

 

Jack chuckled, shaking his head at old memories: “The Pied Piper.”

 

Ezri looked surprised: “Pied Piper? You know him?”

 

Jack Explained: “Its an Earth folktale: the Pied Piper could charm anyone, or anything, with his pipes. It was Sam's Academy nickname. Between his blues harp and dance training Sam had a train of female cadets in his wake. We were roommates.”

 

Ezri raised an eyebrow: “Friends?”

 

Jack nodded, “We corresponded until the war, lost touch. Is he still on the station?”

 

Ezri laughed ironically, sipped her cocoa: “I walked the Pied Piper – and his blues harp – to his shuttle before coming here.”

 

Jack changed the subject – he could comm Sam later: “Listen, I was hoping I could get a favor from you....”

 

“Sure thing Jack!”

 

“Sure thing?”

 

A disco ball drops down from the ceiling, lights reflect off of it as it spins, the floor starts to flash in a pattern of colored squares, a smoke machine starts up and the Star Wars disco theme throbs to life....

 

Ezri and Jack jump from their chairs and start to boogey-down with serious seventies funkadelic-groove. Jack whips out patented Travolta moves. Ezri tears the front of her uniform jacket open and says “Take me like an Orion Slave Girl, Jack!”

 

Jack leaps on top of Ezri and they fall into a passionate, undulating, clothes-tearing heap on the floor. The, out of nowhere a bunch of extras dressed as Bajoran returnees and Starfleet officers form a circle around the pair and start clapping in rhythm with the misc chanting: “Go Jacky Baby! Go Jacky Baby! Go Jacky Baby!”

 

Suddenly Producer-Director Vondy appears storms into the shot: “Cut! Cut! Cut!”

 

End Music – SQWERK!

 

The extras stop clapping and fall silent – looking confused; Queenann is still yelling: “Who the hell wrote this crap! This is Star Trek not Porn Trek! We at least need some lame-brain socially progressive taboo busting pretext! Good God!” Then, looking back at Jack's Player and Nicole - “Hey you two! I said....

 

CUT!!!
