Just a reminder that theLogBook doesn't just crank out stuff on Youtube - there's still new stuff being added at the site itself, including a new Kasatochi album for your free downloading/listening pleasure. And of course, all of this stuff is supported by the site's readers. www.thelogbook.com

Pause for station identification: Been a busy year at theLogBook.com. The site/videos/podcasts are powered by readers/viewers/listeners who chipped in to help. Site expenses are due; the 100% human-made creative output takes digital skill, analog love, and time. Support at any level is appreciated.

Rewinding to some Gene-ology highlights: Gene Roddenberry's first produced sci-fi TV script was a revelation, with plenty of hints of what was to come. Of all the things missing from the archive, this is one of the specimens I most wish could be recovered. www.missionlogpodcast.com/secret-weapo...

Look, all I'm saying is that TV in the '70s was very different, that's all. #babylon5

Gene-ology opens its investigation into a very unusual foray into “true crime” with Gene Roddenberry adapting the particulars of a Seattle murder case into dramatic form. It’s the last script Gene would write for a show that he didn’t also create. www.missionlogpodcast.com/queen-anne-k...

With his own show months away from launching, #GeneRoddenberry racks up one last rodeo, so to speak – his final script for a TV western, and a prestigious one at that, with famous faces and a message or two along for the ride with The Virginian. #ClassicTV www.missionlogpodcast.com/run-away-home/

One sweltering day in Hell’s Kitchen in the 1930s. One policeman. Five wanted men. Five bullets left. And no one in the crowd who wants to help call for backup. #GeneRoddenberry collaborated on an episode of G.E. True in 1962, and it’s a powderkeg of tension. www.missionlogpodcast.com/v-victor-5/

Is this the best television script Gene Roddenberry wrote prior to creating #StarTrek ? Gene’s singular episode of the popular medical drama Dr. Kildare is a powerful story full of rich characters and raw emotions – the bedrock of great television drama. www.missionlogpodcast.com/a-distant-th...

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Target: The Corruptors! was a crime drama that unfolded from the perspective of an ace newspaper reporter. #GeneRoddenberry turned in a script that was significantly altered prior to broadcast. Find out what happens in both versions of “To Wear A Badge”. www.missionlogpodcast.com/to-wear-a-ba...

In 1961, Gene Roddenberry wrote a pilot script closer to home than any western: a script about World War II from a former pilot who served in World War II. Despite writing what he knew, “A.P.O. 923” fell short, but there are still hints of #StarTrek yet to come. www.missionlogpodcast.com/apo-923/

New stuff still shows up on theLogBook.com itself, not just videos on YouTube - and it was well past time to class things up with some #StarfleetAcademy coverage, both new and old, since theLogBook always has one foot planted firmly in yesterday, and another one on tomorrow.

We finish finally getting to watch Mr. District Attorney, and after picking the best show of these last three, we try to narrow down: what was the best episode of Mr. District Attorney written by fledgling writer Gene Roddenberry, a decade before #StarTrek? www.missionlogpodcast.com/mr-da-replay...

I was trying to find Koosh so I could take his picture for #NationalBlackCatDay but he seems to be hiding. Let me know if you see him.

When the podcast started, we had only the scripts to cover for Gene Roddenberry’s first TV writing job on Mr. District Attorney. But now we’ve gotten to see the shows themselves, we get to ask: do Gene’s first TV creations improve when they’re on film? www.missionlogpodcast.com/mr-da-replay...

Videos and podcasts are always cool, but deep down I'm still a sucker for the written word, so from time to time you might see some new reviews and articles on the site as well - the latest additions have their own slot on the site's main page. Here's what's currently featured at thelogbook.com...

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

No writer in the history of the medium has a batting average of a thousand, but this last work Gene Roddenberry did for the ’50s western Jefferson Drum is an especially challenging script, with messages that are both on-brand and very off-brand for Gene. www.missionlogpodcast.com/stagecoach-e...

131

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Gene’s third script for Jefferson Drum seems to be setting up a tale of redemption and forgiveness… until those options are abruptly removed from the table. Join us in trying to interpret one of the most challenging pieces of Gene’s early work: “The Poet.” www.missionlogpodcast.com/the-poet/

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

So let's see... surprisingly modern message in a Gene Roddenberry script from 1958? Check. Absolute banger of a recreated scene from that script? Check. Sounds like it's the latest Gene-ology podcast to me! Give it a listen and meet "Madam Faro": www.missionlogpodcast.com/madam-faro/

010

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Even if you've never heard of Jefferson Drum (almost 70 years on, you're probably in the majority), the show was still graced with a Gene Roddenberry script that feels like a cautionary message to 2025. Gene-ology is back, and we have some thoughts on this. www.missionlogpodcast.com/law-and-order/

Larry Nemecek (host of The Trek Files podcast) is our guest on this week's Gene-ology podcast, talking about the burgeoning friendship between Star Trek's future creator and one of the show's future stars - half a decade before #startrek went to series. www.missionlogpodcast.com/the-deforest...

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

In case you missed it: Gene-ology covered a Gene Roddenberry script from a 1961 modern-day action show, with a character who'd be at home with the logical pointy-eared crowd... aside from being a chaotic evil tech-bro played by DeForest Kelley of #startrek (!). www.missionlogpodcast.com/the-pickup/

031

How did Gene Roddenberry come to co-write an episode of a 1961 action show about a jetsetting insurance inspector? Put a lid on your avocado malt and buckle your seatbelt - buckle it tight! - as Gene-ology explores the Shannonigans both on-screen and off. www.missionlogpodcast.com/embezzlers-d...

Not only does this week's Gene-ology feature a script about mercy and breaking cycles that sees Gene Roddenberry leaving the western series Whiplash on a high note... but this week's scene re-enactment appropriately features Gigi Edgley of #Farscape fame. www.missionlogpodcast.com/the-actress/

011

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

We've really been enjoying Whiplash, but this particular Gene Roddenberry script for the show was top-tier stuff, and a bit stunningly ahead of its time. www.missionlogpodcast.com/dutchmans-re...

Earl (that guy from theLogBook) @thelogbook.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

On this week's Gene-ology, we find Gene firing on *all* the ahead-of-his-time-for-1960 cylinders in "Sarong", another episode he wrote for the Peter Graves western series Whiplash. www.missionlogpodcast.com/sarong/
