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.

Featured review
One of the Best Episodes in the first series
This two part episode is simply superb. It's a great early showcase for Mr Spock's character and has a fascinating story at its centre. Like Captain Kirk we implicitly want to trust Spock even though we aren't sure what's happening at the beginning. This is intelligent and gripping sci fi that is well ahead of its time and that makes you think. It also has an excellent guest starring appearance from Jeffrey Hunter in the form of the well used footage from the original pilot episode.
