Project Questor: Discontinued

Since there has been some news lately about Gene Roddenberry's failed pilot "The Questor Tapes" being remade, I thought it was time to scan some of the articles about it in my collection. This one was found in the June 1977 issue of the magazine TV's Dynamic Heroes. More from different sources will be forthcoming in the future.

I enjoyed the TV-movie when it came out, (the theme music was good also) and wished at the time that it had become a series. But in light of the fact that Roddenberry adapted the character to become Data in "ST:TNG," (even to the "I am fully functional" bit about being sexually capable) it seems a bit redundant now to revisit the concept. But, we'll see how it turns out.
