    He left out Spectre

    Questor Tapes was remade as data in Star Trek TNG, much of it word for word

    I saw a Roddenberry talk where. He said that Questor would have been picked
    up if he had dropped Mike Farrell and made it more like the fugitive or if
    he had agreed to combine it with planet of the apes.

    Much of it was filmed at Caltech, some of it at Lloyd house my friendrCys
    dorm at the time.

    Leonard Nimoy actually went into the studio to get fitted for his Questor costume, there was confusion then someone on the crew had to him he'd been replaced.
