Story and script
1. "First Contact" derived from a story that Marc Scott Zicree had pitched in the third season. Zicree recalled, "It's very hard to sell to Star Trek. They've gone months without buying any stories.

Piller liked the stuff so he kept saying keep going. At one point Ira Behr was joking and said this guy is an i...
