Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

We've read all the Wrangler scripts, considered all the stories - the only thing left to do was for Ashley and Mission Log: Prodigy's Charlynn Schmiedt to visit the UCLA Library and watch the seven produced episodes for themselves.  Even the pilot.  What they found was still surprising.

Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

As we set course for the Wrangler off-ramp, we examine one last script - the one that was never even filmed, namely, Edward J. Lakso's "Incident of the Magic Elixir", which has some themes that fit nicely into a Gene Roddenberry creation...and plenty of themes that don't. Hosted by Earl Green & Ashley Thomas

Gene-ology keeps reliving the travels of the Wrangler, this time running afoul of a town riddled with corruption and violence.  What does justice look like in a town where the lawmen think they're above the law?  Gene's script for "Encounter At Elephant Butte" offers a grim look.

Welcome to Gene-ology, where we explore the earliest TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek!

It's a Gene-ology with an interesting twist: it may be another script for Wrangler, the 1960 western series Gene created, but it didn't reach the screen in this form.  We start the process of asking what changed and why - though we're able to take some educated guesses.

Gene-ology continues chronicling Pitcairn's Wrangler adventures, with Gene's script presenting a character-focused ethical dilemma that raises quite a few more questions than it answers - especially with one deleted line from the earlier draft of the story.
