ESTATE SALE
The item listed here comes from the estate of my mother-in-law after she passed away. We're going through the items that she collected while she worked in the entertainment industry.
She started her career as a Page on the Paramount Pictures studio lot in Hollywood, California in the mid-1990s. From there she worked in various departments such as the mail room, Special Events and Product Development (Licensing) where she had access to numerous one of a kind items like prototype collectables, scripts and behind the scenes images and details. She then moved on to other companies in the entertainment industry in positions both on and off production.
Over the years, she obtained an extensive collection of rare Hollywood items, especially from her favorite franchise "Star Trek". Scripts, crew gifts, screen used props, prototypes for collectables, rare discoveries at the Archive Building and much, much more.
This item up for bids would make a great addition to any Star Trek fan’s collection. It is a script from the show:
“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”
“Shakaar”
SEASON #3
SEASONAL EPISODE #24
SERIES EPISODE #70
From the writer's offices of "Star Trek - Deep Space Nine" in the Hart building on the Paramount Pictures studio lot in Hollywood.
The script contains pages that are printed on white paper only as this was kept in the writer’s office for continuity references. It was not meant to be distributed to the cast and crew.
For more detail about this, please refer to the web site for
Set Hero as they have a detailed description of script handling on productions, or do a google search for the many articles that talk about script revisions. (Screen shot also attached in auction details for clarity.)
It is in near pristine condition with some slight discoloration due to age as well as some MINOR creases from use and age. It has been stored in a plastic storage bag with a cardboard backing ever since the season was completed.

Background information quoted from the Memory Alpha web site:
Story and script
- This episode serves as a sequel of sorts to the episode "Life Support" and it contains numerous references to the death of Vedek Bareil and the signing of the Bajoran-Cardassian Treaty.
- An early idea for this episode was to have a museum on Bajor reopened to protests from Shakaar and others who believed it would be better to use the resources to feed the Bajoran people. No one was happy with the state of the screenplay however until Ronald D. Moore came up with the idea that Kai Winn could attempt to become political leader of Bajor, as well as its spiritual leader. This injected some much-needed conflict into the plot, and everything else fell into place after that. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe commented "We developed the idea of doing an episode based on Zapata, who rose up to overthrow the unjust government of Mexico and then put in a government that he rose up to overthrow as well. He kept fighting well after the war was won. I think that was the idea here, just to see Kira's mentor and the fact that it's not easy to end a war even when your side has won". (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages p 97)
- Gordon Dawson and Ira Steven Behr had previously worked together on the television series Bret Maverick. Indeed, Dawson had actually given Behr his first writing assignment. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 244)
- The prayer which Kira recites for Bareil at the start of the episode is a request to the Prophets that Bareil be guided and protected on his journey to the gates of heaven. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 244)
- In a possible deleted scene, Syvar mentioned he was the science officer of the USS Garuda. The script called for the Garuda to be depicted by stock footage of the USS Prometheus from "Second Sight", although the script described it as being a Prometheus-class starship, rather than Nebula-class. The script specified for the Garuda to appear twice. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion - A Series Guide and Script Library)
Production
- The exteriors in this episode were shot in Bronson Canyon, but the weather was so cold that a number of scheduled shots were never completed and were instead rewritten so they could be filmed in the studio. Indeed, so many shots were dropped that the crew ended up with some free time while at the canyon, so they went into the real caves at the canyon and shot the cave scenes scheduled for shooting in the studio. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)
- Director Jonathan West, in this, his directorial debut for DS9, describes Shakaar as "a good leader and a good killer," and he explains that while filming, "we had to give him that edge." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)
- This is the first episode of the series to have music composed by Paul Baillargeon. (The Music of Star Trek, p 192)
