Day 12: Star Trek the Original Series " The Menagerie, Part 2"

I've always thought these episodes kind of sucked. Basically the whole two parter is an excuse to cut the original pilot episode "The Cage" into the season thus saving the cost of making the pilot and producing an extra episode in a pinch. Meh... Read all about it here it's sort of convoluted and has Spock acting too out of character for my taste, it's all a bit forced. It does give you some insight into original production design and the Captain Pike the original choice to lead the Enterprise.
