Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough scenes from The Cage (1966) feature Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike, he was unavailable and unaffordable for the framing story into which the scenes were to be inserted. Sean Kenney, an actor who resembled Hunter, was used instead. He plays the mute, crippled Captain Pike, now wheelchair-bound after an accident.
- GoofsJust before their first visit with the injured Capt. Pike, Commodore Mendez asks Kirk if he knows Pike. He then states that Pike was about Kirk's age. However, the plot is about an incident that happened 13 years before, when Spock was Capt. Pike's science officer. This would make Pike a 21-year-old starship captain.
- Quotes
Captain Christopher Pike: What the devil are you putting in there, ice?
Dr. Boyce: Who wants a warm martini?
Captain Christopher Pike: What makes you think I need one?
Dr. Boyce: Sometimes... a man will tell his bartender things he'll never tell his doctor.
- Alternate versionsSpecial Enhanced version Digitally Remastered with new exterior shots and remade opening theme song. Highlights include a new exterior shot of the starbase, complete with real people and vehicle traffic.

Featured review
Clever use of the original pilot episode
Spock takes control of the Enterprise for a personal mission.
I enjoyed this one for the great use of the original pilot episode as part of a different story.
The plot, as other reviewers have stated, does have more holes than a Swiss cheese, but it's very entertaining nonetheless.
This first part includes a compelling sequence involving Spock's seizure of the Enterprise and a look back at some of the best parts of The Cage. Yes, it's a clip show Jim, but not as we know it.
All the characters moments involving Kirk, Spock and Bones are excellent. Even little touches, such as Uhura's reaction to the events unfolding are very well done.
Leonard Nimoy is the star of this one and he carries it fantastically well, but William Shatner, DeForest Kelley and in particular guest actor Michael Throne also make great contributions.
