Questions about Future STC Episodes


As all Trekkies know, there was a multitude of unproduced TOS scripts and story outlines. Some were developed by Gene Roddenberry himself. Will any of them be used for future episodes?

Will any upcoming stories involve Klingons or Joanna McCoy (daughter of Bones)? She was going to be an occasional character, if TOS would've made it for a fourth season.

Thanks in advance.

as well as the episode to be based on TNG's final episode "All Good Things" where They will feature three enterprises, one from the 2nd Star Trek Pilot, The TOS Enterprise and the refitted Enterprise from The Star Trek Movies.

I wish there could be future STC episodes which could explore the things you mentioned.

Unfortunately, CBS/Paramount has come up with fan production guidelines which pretty much make it impossible for STC to go on much longer.

I think because of this that STC has done their last script and then they will soon be finished with their series.

Why did this happen?
There was a "fan" film called Star Trek Axanar which raised $1.2 million in total funding which got the attention of CBS/Paramount.
The producers of Star Trek Anaxar, including Alec Peters, acted like they were the owners of Star Trek properties and they went as far as they could in trying to make money off of the Star Trek name/franchise.
They were putting Axanar almost at the level of official Star Trek productions like the new TV series.

The Axanar project was like a dare to CBS/Paramount. The result is a series of lawsuits and the guidelines which is unfortunately killing true fan productions.

They are going to finish the goals stated in their last Kickstarter and give the fans what they paid for. They are true to their word. They will finish with 11 episodes. They are on good terms with CBS.

I agree with all of this.

"They will finish with 11 episodes."

Do you have a link for that information?
It would be great if it's true. I just can't find a statement about STC's plans for that many episodes on the Internet.

I know that the final crowdfunding campaign, organized through Indiegogo in early 2016, allowed for the production of four additional episodes.
But I wondered if episodes 6 & 7 (done in 2016) were the result of that funding.
So, I thought maybe STC would finish with 9 episodes?

Anyway, I would be very pleased to read official news that STC will finish with 11 episodes.

* But it was also my understanding that STC wanted to complete the 5 year TOS mission, (since in TOS one season = 1 year in space) it would mean 2 more seasons of fan based Star Trek.
11 episodes would be great but that is only about 1/2 the number of episodes in one season of TOS.

The evidence still seems to point to the Star Trek Anaxar lawsuits stopping STC from reaching its full potential in terms of number of episodes.

I don't have the link personally, because it was a link i followed and that was quoted on the trekbbs forum. The most recent quote from Vic I heard was that they are trying to get them done at warp 10 and that this was always designed to bridge the gap between TOS and TMP, and that there will be a loose story arc building to that in the last few episodes. It was meant to be a 13 episode season.

I believe the years we saw were 2-4, and the animated series and STC is season 5. The mission was well underway when we started watching. The pilot was more like the end of the first year of the mission, chronologically. There was already established history between Mitchell, Kelso, Spock, Kirk, etc.
