Picture it, 1988,“Blood and Fire” was rejected by the Star Trek: The Next Generation folks. But 20 years later, “Blood and Fire” is back in the Star Trek: Phase II series.
Carlos Pedraza rewrote this with David Gerrol's blessing. Here's more from Carlos:
David Gerrold gave me free rein in the rewrite, though I strove to stay as true to his original concept as possible. However, I found the original’s blood transfusion metaphor for the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s too dated, so the story’s villains — and heroes, for that matter — got a major update. By the way, the episode guest stars Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar from TNG).
David was so intrigued by the possibilities in my rewritten script that he added more material, turning “Blood and Fire” into a two-part episode. Today’s release will be followed by Part 2 in 2009.
Juicy stuff... please go and check it out here
And thanks to Carlos for making this real
