After three years of tinkering with the basics of the concept, and spending much of his downtime from the 1988 Writers’ Guild strike refining the idea, writer J. Michael Straczynski completes his first draft script and series bible for a new science fiction series, Babylon 5. In the coming months he will pitch it to several networks, studios, and broadcasters (including Paramount, which passes on it), finally finding a receptive ear in Chris-Craft Television executive Evan Thompson. Thompson, in turn, introduces Straczynski to Warner Bros. TV executive Dick Robertson, with whom Thompson is exploring the possibility of launching a new network.

Co-written and directed by William Shatner (whose contract allows him to direct a Star Trek movie since his co-star Leonard Nimoy has done so), Star Trek V: The Final Frontier premieres in theaters to decidedly mixed reviews.

The week-long national syndication window opens for the 47th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Billed as “something Star Trek has never done before” in advance publicity, the second season finale is a clip show made up primarily of “memories” from older episodes – one last blow to the series from the 1988 Writers’ Guild strike. This marks the final appearance of Diana Muldaur as Dr. Katherine Pulaski, as well as the unforgiving (and apparently spine-damaging) uniforms from the first two seasons. This is also the last episode to feature Maurice Hurley as executive producer; he hands the reins over to new executive producer Michael Piller for the third season.
