Gene Roddenberry

 * ... that after Gene Roddenberry (pictured) left the production of Star Trek in 1968, he attempted to turn Isaac Asimov's I, Robot into a film?


 * ALT1:... that Gene Roddenberry (pictured) had a new series greenlit after Star Trek, entitled The Questor Tapes, but turned down the project due to network interference?

 * Comment: Happy to hear any suggestions for hooks - there's so many possibilities that its overwhelming. The plane crashes were used for another article, so best to avoid using the same hook twice.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough and long enough. QPQ valid. Hook is interesting and sourced, and it's a shame you couldn't use the plane crashes as a subject for the hook. A minor grammar quibble about the hook: I'm not sure whether you intended to say "left the production of Star Trek", because I think that version makes more sense. Picture license is valid.

 * The plane crashes are the most incredibly hooky things about the article but were used on the Early life article. Also I'm sure that once the Pan Am crash article gets worked up then we'll see it again. BTW, I've fixed the first hook to "of" instead of "on". Miyagawa (talk) 19:58, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
