@ 43:16 "You tired you'll feel much better soon." I'm sure Captain Pike had other things on his mind other than being kidnapped by big headed aliens..lol
If Kirk didn't destroy all the android experiments, Pike could have totally gotten a new, functioning body while retaining all his memories and personality. Ever think about that, Kirk? Nope. Too busy checking out Spock.
Of all the hot babes in short skirts that appeared in this series, Miss Piper might be the hottest! It looked like her skirt was a tad shorter than most, allowing to see a lot of her shapely legs in those smokin' hot black pantyhose.
I'm in agony. The suspense in this episode is intense. What the devil is that green blooded Vulcan up to - it's been that long seen I've seen Menagerie.
Wow...based on the trends we're seeing, it must be pretty easy to become chief medical officer in starfleet; all you need to know is how to mix drinks.
One reason I prefer TOS is the uncluttered bridge. In TNG and DS-9 there are literally dozens of folks on the bridge. Why are all these people necessary? In a starship, one would hope that advanced technology would automate many of the functions. In that sense TOS is actually more advanced than the later series. The TOS bridge can be likened to a get-together with a few old friends, while the other series has the crowded feel of a cattle call or office x-mas party.
The name Singh is as common as the name Smith or Jones in American culture. I Have a Punjabi Friend whos last name is Singh. It is a cultural reference but it is also a common name. And I commend Rodenberry for his non-racist view of what the future might become. I would be proud to be part of a culturaly equal society.
Space is a vacuum. here on Earth, momentum is impeded by friction of air molecules, and the gravity of the planet itself. Is space, the only thing that can alter your momentum and direction is stellar objects (dust, asteroids, nebulae, etc - which are sparse), and gravitational fields.
For an example, look up dropping a feather in a vacuum tube, it will fall at the same rate as other objects because of the lack of air friction. The only factor in this is gravity.
One thing that always kinda bugged me about sci-fi stuff: The need for constant fuel consumption for space propulsion. You would only need enough fuel for the initial propulsion, and to adjust direction and speed. So many shows/games show space vessels burning their engines constantly while they move. Just about the only game I can think of that does it correctly, is Asteroids :P.
I like how this show takes place really far in the future, but the best technology they have for immobilized people is a yellow light that blinks once for yes and twice for no with a huge delay between the first and second blink
If you like The Menagerie(duo) you should watch the original pilot episode if you have not seen it before!! I started to upload it but I read the warning and cancelled it. I'll admit that the pilot does not have the deception of Spock but miss alot in the menagerie from the basis of the plot. If I knew I wouldn't get sued I would up it. Look on other sites and watch it, I strongly suggest it!
@randhi2. Why not just recomend people to buy the original series? Both the originaly vhs release with BW/Color and the fully restored originaly aired 1990's one are on the DVD's. If you have Blue Ray you can get them new with both versions of the series. The original box sets are hard to find but well worth it.
They also keep messing with the old series by super-imposing updated views of the ship using enhanced computer graphics...Too slick -Ii liked the old gritty scenes of the ship in orbit - including the roar of the engines (which i know you can't hear in real life) - Still...Plus they switched out in Star Wars - at the end - the ghost like appearance of Vader when he appears with Yoda and O-B1 with the more youthful Anikan Skywalker....the old guy was a real actor from the 50's with credentials...
One of the earlier comments hit it right when they stated that it seemed the series didn't even exist in relation to the recent movie. Why the felt they had to "AMP-UP" the characters and effects was somewhat dissapointing. Story line and acting are what's most important...A bit over the top for me... Wish they'd stay closer to original. They ruined Lost in Space - had they kept closer & used remaining cast members...well - sey-la-vee!!
@caitlinjane92 He is the late Jeffrey Hunter Star of such films as Hell to Eternity, Sailor of the King, No Man Is an Island and King of Kings. He was going to be the star of Star Trek but was unavailable to do the second pilot.
Carful everyone greg5566 is a talented TROLL. He'll push the right buttons to get you mad enough to take up an entire video page. He is a, none educated slick talking manipulative ASS hole. He's going to be president one day. Lol!
@SuperCrazyAngela. They did not try to make him look younger that is how he looked when they shot Star Trek "The Cage" a year and a half before this was made.
@SuperCrazyAngela. Yes really. The Cage was the first pilot. But NBC hated it. They did like the Special FX. So they told Roddenberry to make another with a more western feel. Roddenberry gave them a second pilot called "Were No Man has Gone Before" And the rest is history. This is why Spock looks the same in Where No Man Has Gone Before and in The Cage. The look of the show changed because NBC wanted Spock to be less conspicuous and the color more vibrant.
@BondFreek Haha, okay then gotcha! But its weird how they would take something they hated and then put it into a different episode later on... :P Just sayin'!
@SuperCrazyAngela. Roddenberry loved the original pilot. It was NBC that hated it. "The Menagerie" was made because the budget was low and DesiLue had a contracted to make x amount of episodes for the first season. Roddenberry used this emergency to get his original vision on to TV.
At 41:08 to 41:49 we (on our screens) are watching the court (on their screen) watch the video evidence of the alien beings (observing from their view screen) captain Pike and his crew. Funny.
And nobody at the hearing recognized nurse chapel at the helm before she changed jobs and got a new hair-do lol XD jk ... She looks good as a brunette imo ...
@patrickbad you didn't read my comment carefully. I said in later episodes he got heavier meaning later episodes of early Star Trek which only aired for 3 years before being canceled. I wasn't referring to what he looks like now. In fact he looks pretty awesome for his age now even though he's heavier you dick face.
@BigBadHousePet : Shatner started putting on weight toward the end of the second season. In some episodes you can tell he's wearing a corset under his uniform shirt. He got himself slimmed down and back in shape by the time production on the third season started.
ok, we now know that the impossible is located above the monitoring board! When the commodore says look for the impssible, the technician looks for it on top of the display thingy!

@MxT4ever. The movie is not real Star Trek. According to the movie this series no longer happened. By the power of magic, Engine rooms became beer factories, Uniforms advanced 15 years, Archer breads Dogs, Uhura is a bitchy sick minded spoiled girl, Spock breaks rules but forces others to follow them and Kirk is a criminal. None of the characters resemble their TV counter parts.
Hmmmm, apparently the people who made this episode hadnt seen The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Pike could easily use that machine to beep the alphabet and thus talk to people.
We have computers and functional MRIs and systems that allow paralyzed people to communicate via computer, and we have mind-controlled robots and mind-reading by computer right now.
Pike & he were in a fierce battle on a planet of warriors a few days earlier...this is depicted when the talosians gave pike an illusion & incorporated the girl into the equation.
Even though it was left unstated, I think I know why contact with Talos IV was punishable by death. Aliens who can shape reality at will have the potential to cause massive, irreparable mischief and upheaval. They could rig it so a crewmember would find his wife in the arms of another man, or have the crew thinking an attack order has been issued. Anything was possible. Good call, Starfleet.
On the slavery issue, once again, while the federation knows of it, they do not legalize it. The Orions are not members of the Federation and the fantasy of Pike being a Orion trader does not mean Starfleet endorses slavery either.
why is slavery still allowed in the federation? 33:30 - 33:35 is proof that slavery is still allowed in the federation. how come the orions never appeared in TNG? because gene wanted to hush up the fact that he actually ALLOWED SLAVERY in his utopia
The Orions are not part of the Federation. Besides, he was not in-visioning a utopia as much a describing a future where man can be better then he was then and now.
thats not the point. the point is that slavery is, in the federation at least, known and legalized into a trade that even members of starfleet would consider joining
and yes, the federation DOES claim to be a utopia.
star trek was never a utopia, just a civlilization, a future one and some would say better than ours, but never a utopia, there would be no show if it was
Bookworm is partially right. Star Trek definately depicts a utopia. No disease, no money, no hunger.
As far as the orion slave trade, you will note that it wasnt until later that the "green animal women" were said to be the orions themselves. The idea was that the colonies of Orion were in fact home to a slave trade and that Pike was talking about leaving starfleet to go into business on one of said colonies. Its not that SF condones slavery, just that it still exists in other cultures.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
its non fiction u fu@kin morron! besides a cracker wrote the shit! as he would hope to have slavery and opress beings even in other worlds as it is his savage destructive nature(devil!)
Star Trek is not non-fiction, it is science fiction.
"a cracker wrote the shit!" Ah... How wonderfully racist of you. Not to mention hypocritical.
Roddenberry, was the one who put a black woman on the bridge, and gave us an asian helmsman, and many other minority crew members in important positions.
YOU are a hate filled bigoted racist. Stop being a victim. If you dont consider yourself one, then stop acting like people of a different color are out to get you!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fuck you and your racial sensitivities. Why don't you complain about the episode where the nxggxr scientist goes insane because his invention doesn't work. The name of the computer was the (M)uther fucker V.
@commandox20 applause!! People forget when this was made. It was absolutely revolutionary for its time. Yeah, it has it's flaws, but these flaws are only seen when looking through the lense of 2010. Sometimes people forget to take that into account. ^_^;
@commandox20 Blacks and asians had been shown on TV before - however tokenly - but Roddenberry casted Sikhs! Indians! Space Seed's antagonist was named Singh - I know, Ricardo Montalban - but Singh is the common Sikh surname. The last name of the current Prime Minister of India is Singh. And in The Changeling, a swarthy-complected crewman was addressed as "Singh." Amazing stab at diversity, considering the times. I'm black and will state definitively that Roddenberry was no cracker.
In Orion culture, the women actually rule because their pheromones can reduce any man into putty. But to keep others from taking advantage of this fact by always trying to "take over those women", they let people think the men are keeping them in slavery. If they are sold as slaves to someone outside their society, it doesn't take long for the buyer to fall under their spell too. So who do the thing the real slave is? Okay, I just totally geeked out there. I swear I have a life.
well so do i... but i know that trek-fans hate all the shows other than TOS and TNG (that includes DS9, ENT and the movies after Star Trek Generations), so they don't consider anything from Enterprise canonical.
furthermore, that (what you described) is subterfuge which would be foolish for the federation to allow it since it would be circumventing their authority. furthermore, it would be putting the 'perfect, godlike humans' (as picard calls them) in a position of weakness...

Seems like they could get a lot more info out of Pike.Even with yes-no answers.Guess they never heard of 20 questions in the future.

the original series, TNG, and ENTERPRISE have the best openings.

Voyager takes fifth, then I suppose. Although I've never seen the animated series, I'm sure Voyager had a better intro with it's fancy CGI.

i have always thought Talos IV should have been revisited and that something more should have been done with the Talosians.

Hmmmm, apparently the people who made this episode hadnt seen The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Pike could easily use that machine to beep the alphabet and thus talk to people.

Just found out that Jeffrey Hunter (Pike) passed away in 1969 at age 43 (stroke).
R.I.P. Captain Pike. May you always live in the happy ending at Talos IV.

Pike & he were in a fierce battle on a planet of warriors a few days earlier...this is depicted when the talosians gave pike an illusion & incorporated the girl into the equation.

Even though it was left unstated, I think I know why contact with Talos IV was punishable by death. Aliens who can shape reality at will have the potential to cause massive, irreparable mischief and upheaval. They could rig it so a crewmember would find his wife in the arms of another man, or have the crew thinking an attack order has been issued. Anything was possible. Good call, Starfleet.

Well no contest. The best part of "The Menagerie" is no doubt the part when only the ladies are beamed down and Spock roars:
"THE WOMEN!!!"
Even though him showing emotion threw me a little, he is still radiating pure sexiness <3

On the slavery issue, once again, while the federation knows of it, they do not legalize it. The Orions are not members of the Federation and the fantasy of Pike being a Orion trader does not mean Starfleet endorses slavery either.
blau696969 2 years ago
someone please, stop and think!
why is slavery still allowed in the federation? 33:30 - 33:35 is proof that slavery is still allowed in the federation. how come the orions never appeared in TNG? because gene wanted to hush up the fact that he actually ALLOWED SLAVERY in his utopia
bookworm1138 2 years ago
The Orions are not part of the Federation. Besides, he was not in-visioning a utopia as much a describing a future where man can be better then he was then and now.
blau696969 2 years ago 3
thats not the point. the point is that slavery is, in the federation at least, known and legalized into a trade that even members of starfleet would consider joining
and yes, the federation DOES claim to be a utopia.
bookworm1138 2 years ago
star trek was never a utopia, just a civlilization, a future one and some would say better than ours, but never a utopia, there would be no show if it was
Babushca47 2 years ago 2
what part of "ended war, suffering, disease, etc." or "united earth" doesn't SCREAM of utopia?

Babushca47 2 years ago
a goal?
they've said throughOUT the series that it was a REALITY!
bookworm1138 2 years ago
Bookworm is partially right. Star Trek definately depicts a utopia. No disease, no money, no hunger.
As far as the orion slave trade, you will note that it wasnt until later that the "green animal women" were said to be the orions themselves. The idea was that the colonies of Orion were in fact home to a slave trade and that Pike was talking about leaving starfleet to go into business on one of said colonies. Its not that SF condones slavery, just that it still exists in other cultures.

its non fiction u fu@kin morron! besides a cracker wrote the shit! as he would hope to have slavery and opress beings even in other worlds as it is his savage destructive nature(devil!)
fredib100 2 years ago
Star Trek is not non-fiction, it is science fiction.
"a cracker wrote the shit!" Ah... How wonderfully racist of you. Not to mention hypocritical.
Roddenberry, was the one who put a black woman on the bridge, and gave us an asian helmsman, and many other minority crew members in important positions.
YOU are a hate filled bigoted racist. Stop being a victim. If you dont consider yourself one, then stop acting like people of a different color are out to get you!

@commandox20 applause!! People forget when this was made. It was absolutely revolutionary for its time. Yeah, it has it's flaws, but these flaws are only seen when looking through the lense of 2010. Sometimes people forget to take that into account. ^_^;
evilcaptainred 1 year ago 3
@commandox20 Blacks and asians had been shown on TV before - however tokenly - but Roddenberry casted Sikhs! Indians! Space Seed's antagonist was named Singh - I know, Ricardo Montalban - but Singh is the common Sikh surname. The last name of the current Prime Minister of India is Singh. And in The Changeling, a swarthy-complected crewman was addressed as "Singh." Amazing stab at diversity, considering the times. I'm black and will state definitively that Roddenberry was no cracker.

In Orion culture, the women actually rule because their pheromones can reduce any man into putty. But to keep others from taking advantage of this fact by always trying to "take over those women", they let people think the men are keeping them in slavery. If they are sold as slaves to someone outside their society, it doesn't take long for the buyer to fall under their spell too. So who do the thing the real slave is? Okay, I just totally geeked out there. I swear I have a life.

well so do i... but i know that trek-fans hate all the shows other than TOS and TNG (that includes DS9, ENT and the movies after Star Trek Generations), so they don't consider anything from Enterprise canonical.
furthermore, that (what you described) is subterfuge which would be foolish for the federation to allow it since it would be circumventing their authority. furthermore, it would be putting the 'perfect, godlike humans' (as picard calls them) in a position of weakness...
