In all likelihood, this is not an "unproduced script", but simply an early fanfic. Though some sources attribute this to DC Fontana, that is probably due to the presence of Joanna. Fontana DID write a script which introduced Joanna; that script, however, was heavily reworked into the third season episode, "The Way to Eden", and Joanna morphed into Chekov's girlfriend.

This and a couple of other unproduced scripts - "He Walked Among Us", "Tomorrow the Universe" - are widely available for purchase, but beware. Along with "Stars of Sargasso", they appear to come from the same unknown source. That's not to say the contents aren't what they claim to be, but they all use the same cover design and appear to have come from the same typewriter. But that typewriter, given the likely fanfic origins of "Sargasso", was probably nowhere near Hollywood.

In any case, here is the missing material, from my copy of the script (where it begins in the middle of page 46, so my script seems to differ from Masmaster's):

-

CUT TO INT. CRONOSIAN SHIP—CORRIDOR

McCOY walks along, sad, head hung low, miserable and touchy about not rescuing JOANNA. SPOCK, KIR and SULU walk with him, sharing his disappointment, and not wanting to say antyhing which will set McCOY off. They speak in soothing, quiet tones.

KIRK

(optimistic)

Well, we've got an hour. That gives us a little time.

McCOY

(disgusted)

Time for what?

KIRK

To either find some way of getting the Enterprise and ourselves out of here in one piece...

SULU

(rebellious)

...decide whether we die fighting...

SPOCK

(grimly)

...or simply be exterminated.

McCOY

(pessimistic logic)

In other wordds, if the weeds con't kill us, then Argos will—one way or another.

KIRK

(dryly)

Let's hope it doesn't-

SPOCK holds up his arm, in a quick motion which silences KIRK.

this is an extremely good story. why didn't they ever produce it? you left off at a really exciting part,and I hope you post more soon. I'm dying to know what happens! please post more really soon.

Arugh, . Please tell me it doesn't end this way, (sobs) this is awful. poor McCoy. Please post again soon

Oh, my Good lord. the first part shocked me to the core. who's ever this is, it is getting very good. Bravo

NOTES:

* No. I'm sorry to say that the script doesn't give a more detailed description of Joanna. Scripts rarely give detailed physical character descriptions, in case no actress meeting that description is available, or any good.

great! it gets better and better. do they give a more accurate description of Joanna? or did the writer leave that open so that any female could play the part?

wow! This is getting good. I can't wait for the next part.

ooohh, good spot for a commercial break. Right when the action is getting good!

Wow! YOu have me on the edge of my seat. Evil chiffhanger. I can't wait to see what happens. This is getting good. Keep up the fantastic story. I will be looking for the next part.

i wonder why they never produced this one. It sounds interesting. I can hardly wait for the update.

NOTES

* I wasn't sure whether posting this script on the net was illegal or not. If you know for certain that it is then let me know and I’ll take it down immediately.

* I too noticed some aspects of the script were repeated and flat lined. It also mimicked parts of previous episodes - most notably "The Immunity Syndrome"

* I purchased this script at www. /store/scriptlists/tveps_ . They also have many other star trek scripts there.

Uh...isn't it against copyright law to post someone's work without their expressed approval? Just wondering. By the way, how did you come upon this script?

um wow, Not yours? don't know whos it is? whos ever it is, it is pretty good. I really cant critique to you, but, the tecnical terms could use a polish up, sounds kinda repeated and flat lined in part. Other than that, pretty good.
