Where No Man Has Gone Before - Deleted Alternate Beginning

A rare treat for any TOS fan! In celebration of the 40th aniversary of the original series, never before seen footage from the episode that sold Star Trek!
Most fans know that the first Star Trek pilot, "The Cage", was rejected by NBC, however, what most fans do not know was that there were actually two different versions of the second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", only one of which has ever been seen on tv. This is the beginning of the "original" version of the episode. I'm guessing that this is what was shown to the public at WorldCon 1966. This version includes a different opening monolog by William Shattner, a different title format, music never again heard on Star Trek, and several additional shots of Gary Mitchel, Sulu, and the ships doctor.

"What is out there in the black void beyond?"

I think he answered his question: a black void.

AtomicplayBOY, I was referring to your psychological age. I was dismayed to find you're 38. Some people, alas, never grow up.

FYI, I don't touch mind-altering drugs, including the legal ones; I live in my own apartment, which I pay for with my own money, earned at my own full-time job.

I'll accept "liberal" as a compliment, sonny, since I know that coming from someone like you, it merely means "responsible adult".

great video..although watching them now is odd when Sulu says" captain..I'm heading for Uranus"

Neat. The opening reminds me a tiny bit of The Pale Blue Dot monologue by Carl Sagan.

@albion432 Understandable, since Gene Roddenberry was an LAPD officer and then later wrote for police shows.

Actually this music was used later in the series as incidental music. They didn't throw anything away.

no wonder the pilot sucked, it had no catchy theme song!

(Dammit him I'm a doctor not a music director!)

Where no MAN has ever gone before! So chauvinistic! Women should be outraged by this....and weak feeble husbands! They need to change every.....oh what? Oh yes..... Stardate 41183.6 after several generations...here..in SPACE (do the Shatner voice) we ..of different....genders. We come...together. And realize that...equality is our...strength. We...oh Fuck it! Where is that green bitch from Tauron IV?
