Star Trek: The Cage

"The Cage" is the original unaired pilot episode for the 1966 science fiction television series Star Trek. After being presented to studio heads, NBC ordered a second pilot episode for the series which was entitled "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The original pilot features the lead character Christopher Pike as Captain of the USS Enterprise. Along with fellow crew members Mr. Spock, Number One, Doctor Philip Boyce, Lieutenant Jose Tyler and Yeoman J.M. Colt, Captain Pike encounters a strange, alien race known as the Talosians. From this initial episode, only Mr. Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, was brought over to the regular series. Scenes from this episode were colorized and incorporated into flashback sequences from the two-part season one episode ''"The Menagerie". The entire episode was remastered in 1986 and broadcast on October 4th, 1988.
