Spin-off Series Pilot
The proposed spin-off series was not picked up. Six years later, Roddenberry returned to this theme of an outside force benevolently aiding human development. The Questor Tapes was a television movie and pilot for a series about an android (portrayed by Robert Foxworth) who is searching for his creator and his purpose, which turns out to be (like that of Gary Seven) to help mankind avoid disasters. Conceived by and executive produced by Gene Roddenberry, the script is credited to Roddenberry and fellow Star Trek alumnus Gene L. Coon. This series was also never produced.
