## Description

.com          As if guided by the frugal wisdom of schlockmeister producer-director Roger Corman, Trek creator Gene Roddenberry found a clever way of using, instead of losing, extensive and costly footage from the then-unseen, discarded Star Trek pilot, "The Cage." Roddenberry's solution was to integrate pieces of "The Cage" into a whole new story context, and the fascinating and surprisingly moving result was the two-part drama "The Menagerie." First, a bit of background: "The Cage" starred film actor Jeffrey Hunter (King of Kings, The Searchers) as Christopher Pike, the original captain of the Enterprise. Among Hunter's costars was Leonard Nimoy as Science Officer Spock, who eventually carried over, of course, into the reconfigured series starring William Shatner. Rather than write off "The Cage," Roddenberry conceived of a story line in which Captain Pike would reappear on the show in a badly disfigured, paralyzed, and mute form--the result of a terrible accident in which the character saved a number of lives but took a pounding in the process. In "The Menagerie," Spock hijacks the Enterprise to transport Pike to a secret destination. During court-martial proceedings for this crime, Spock's defense is presented via archival footage of an old, pre-Kirk mission aboard the Enterprise. That footage, of course, is a reedited "Cage." A must-see for Star Trek fans, "The Menagerie" is a stellar example of Roddenberry thinking on his feet. --Tom Keogh

How amazing it would be to take someone such sever injuries in a wheelchair only controlled by their mind. Then ended up transported to a planted that their mind would only see a healthy body. How many people might want that? I'm in a wheelchair and I'm not sure if I would want my mind played with, put then at times it would be nice to take my dog for a walk where ever he wants, not where I can only go.

    Star Trek The Menagerie
  

*by B***Q on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2011*

One of the best episodes of Star Trek, the original series. Captain Kirk's idol (Captain Pike) from the Enterprise ship was shown as he was before the attack of delta rays which left him as a total  non capacited person, (just to say that he was so handsome and cute before that attack). That episode of the Talus IV planet I watched for the very first time in my country -Peru-  in 1967 in the  spanish version  and in black and white. However, it was so well done due to the year released, that impressed me so much. I was only 11 years old and it got me in that way that I thought it was real and left me thinking about what kind of planets would exist up there in the many galaxies outspace. At the end, the talusians gave Captain Pike his original appearence and made him living an illusional life with his female companion (also restored by those beings)happy ever after. So many questions about that illusional life like for example, are they going to get old?, how come if they are living an illusion of beauty and youth?, still remain without answer.That was also the Apollo era and everybody was crazy about spaceships and the astronauts, etc., so the episode just match the moment.The impression that brought me when I watched those series just kept in my mind during my whole life, and  now that I came to America ten years ago I finally found those episodes so I can remember them and watch them also anytime I want, mostly when I feel nostalgic about the time I lived and it is not coming back anymore.Comparing the original series with the "Next Generation" episodes, the first ones have many flaws, but that is the point, at that moment there weren't so many special effects or computer effects that sometimes overcome the watcher and they left the other things to our imagination, which of course was better than the sometimes dissapointment "effects"It also reveals the loyalty, about the always logical Mr.Spock (who was the favorite personage of the series) and his former superior even though he put in risk his future in the Starfleet and the new crew's, the gentle manners of Captain Pike, the way that he was, honest and clear. Some of that attributes me and my friends were looking forward to get male friends, which after sometime we knew it was not going to be true, because he was a fictional creation but not a real one. To me, they always exist in the "space-time" dimenssion, like Einstein once explained, but in my only way theory: I can put the DVD in my player and watch them like thousand times.

Nostalgia, I first saw this episode on television in the early 70’s, I always remembered it and wanted to see it again. I’m very pleased to be able to purchase it on Amazon. Clear picture and clear audio. I definitely recommend this Star Trek episode.
