Personally I would have thought you would have the novelization already.

You ever read the novelizations for 2-4? There so much stuff added that, for example, in the one for 3 you don't get to the actual start of the movie until about a third of the way into the book. :-)

I did have it at one time. The movie is the result of a long protracted battle between Harold Livingston and Roddenberry. I saw Livingston's version of the script (well, the TV pilot, which was great) and the novel is essentially the Roddenberry version. Neat to compare the difference.

L:Heavy on character and drama.
R:Heavy on describing the future.

Oh, and the book was ruined after I dropped it into the bath in 5th Grade. :)

Estrofem. Good stuff!

The Novelization is actually kinda neat of you know the background of the movie.

Harold Livingston wrote the original draft of the movie, which was a GREAT dramatical actiony script. Really very good, but had a kinda squirrely ending.

Gene rewrote it, and watered it WAY down with "LOOK! HERE'S LIFE! IN THE FUTURE!"

So a fight began where Harold and Gene were rewriting each other right up to the last day of filming, and the movie just kinda had this schizophrenic attitude.

I have the Harold Livingston draft, which is really good (minus the "Whatever" ending), and the novel (which I lost years ago) is a good example of what Gene wanted out of the movie (THE FUTURE!)
