With all of the Star Trek scripts that he had to plow through, it makes sense that Freiberger would have had the needed perspective to turn Zarabeth into Spock's soul mate.John Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557999612244024954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187627900258846757.post-75258108660129271482015-10-09T22:30:13.133-07:002015-10-09T22:30:13.133-07:00I'm glad my essay on the "final draft&quo...I'm glad my essay on the "final draft" version of the script was helpful and appreciate your mentioning it! Since writing that, the Marc Cushman book on Season 3 has come out and clarifies the matter of who wrote this version of the script I consulted. According to Cushman, it was story editor Arthur Singer who did this version and that ultimately the "final revised draft" of the script, dated five days later (December 17, 1968) was done by Fred Freiberger, which would make this Freiberger's greatest contribution to Trek overall. The date of this revised final draft is one day before shooting began. Hopefully a copy of it will surface one day for us to study!ericpaddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880416865587861007noreply@blogger.com
