Presented here for the first time on the internet and in DVD quality is the intro for the for the 1st pilot of the groundbreaking Sci-Fi series "Star Trek", the show that is credited with re-defining what science fiction is as well as inspiring many people to become Scientists and Engineers in an attempt to recreate this technologically advanced world of computers, wireless communications and perhaps one day, BEAMING!!
property of Paramount Pictures, no harm is intended by this post, it is Archival footage solely for historical purposes.
The full Episode can be obtained by purchasing Star Trek: the Original Series Season 3 wherever dvds are sold.
I'm glad I recorded these episodes on VHS in the 1980s and then transferred them to DVD later, as they originally appeared, before all the modern computer graphics were inserted. To me, it's like colorizing Bogart's Casablanca. Butchery!
It would have been nice if they included the complete original pilot as an extra on the series DVD. I've seen others, such as The Munsters season 1, where they included the original unaired pilot.

I do wish the entire black & white version were available (having the original voice of the 'Keeper' throughout). I would not be surprised, however, if it were destroyed when they reconstructed the color version in the 1980s.

wish i remembered the difference, mostly something about a missing scene of elevator melting or entrance to elevator altered to hide some secret door trick.

It would be interesting to see the original edit of The Cage. Every version available is at least a little bit different than the one the NBC guys saw in 1964.
