Wil Wheaton points us to Diane Duane's blog, in which she describes her recollections of what happened with the script for "Where No One Has Gone Before".
She and Michael Reaves pitched a very different story than what was shown: Wesley's role was not as prominent, Kosinsky was not an asshole, the Traveller wasn't even in it.
Their script - highly thought of by the production crew - became a victim of crappy office politics and was extensively rewritten...by someone else.
Compare the real show (blogged on by Wil at TV Squid, er, Squad) to the second draft premise and the second draft outline.
Overall, a faskinating peek inside the world of television scriptwriting and what can go horribly, terribly wrong.
