Just a quick update: I’m planning to upload a slightly better version of this footage soon. If that goes to plan, this old, “jerky” video can be decommissioned.

For all the time and cash CBS put into re-mastering the original you’d think they’d restore the second pilot to it’s original NBC presentation form. From what I read the remastered Cage pilot will be on the third season dvd set.

With the exception of the Act titles, end credits, and corridor scene in the beginning, I’ve seen most of these scenes, which were usually deleted when broadcast. Still, quite interesting.

I couldn’t agree more. I watch both pilot episodes more often than any others. Together, they really  defined the show as it was intended to be: a thoughtful reflection of the human condition. It’s the heart of every incarnation Star Trek.

I thought that the other incarnation of Trek should have had the “Reflection of Human Condition” or the grittiness in space. This was soon re-examined in the new Star Trek movie!

Trying to grab her “attention,” I guess. This show was still a little sexist for its time.

“Still a little sexist for its time” — I know, right? Can you imagine the public outrage if women were objectified in the media today?

Nothing here was deleted, except for the very opening and end credits. The rest was resequenced and retitled to air as the third episode in the series essentially unchanged.

it was squeezed through the space-time continuum from an alternate universe.
