Did this potential project ever get any legs under it? I would love to see as much unreleased and/or rare material relating to the original Star Trek as possible get preserved, because (a) its an important show in the history of the medium, (b) the further in time we get, the more likely some of that stuff is to just disappear, and (c) I love the show.  I'm kind of surprised by how much Paramount and CBS Television aren't doing to properly document such a landmark piece of entertainment. And as this thread has illustrated, there's a wealth of material out there worth preserving, from bloopers and EPKs and specials and interviews to the Sci-Fi Channel segments and trailers and TV spots and that didn't make it onto the released DVDs. I have a fair amount of material on various and sundry formats, but sadly I'm far too inept, untalented, and ill-equipped to do the work myself. Maybe I just don't know where to look for it, but I'm kind of surprised that - given how legendarily devoted Star Trek fans are - there isn't more of that kind of stuff out there, especially given that everything Star Wars-related seems to have been wonderfully preserved and widely disseminated. I have to confess, I'm envious.
