The Roddenberry Archive - The History of Star Trek Phase II

The Roddenberry Archive has released a new short documentary that looks into the history of Star Trek: Phase II that was the placeholder name for what would a planned TV revival of Star Trek: The Original Series before the decision was made to make The Motion Picture instead. The video covers not just the history that started planning before Star Wars came out, look at behind the scenes test pics, designs and re-creation of planned sets and ships with CGI. Worth checking out.

In addition, the Archive posted other videos including an interview with Walter Koenig, a look back at the "Shatnerverse" of books (fun reads) by Judith and Reeves-Stevens (worth reading any of their Trek books), and a conversation with Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer.
