    far better than Shades of Grey

    Ironically, not only were they able to sneak in The Cage (which never aired in Star Trek’s broadcast run), a really great episode in its own right, the rest of the story is a pretty awesome follow-up to the story with Captain Pike and uses some clever editing to accomplish its ending.

      One part of the cage really jumped out at me last time I watched it, always glossed over it, but this time it stuck out. Early on pike gets a message from an ensign, a woman ensign, and goes “That’s one thing I will never get used to…a woman on the bridge!” And No.1 just glares at him

      Trek certainly mirrors the time it was written in.

        yeah, parts of that episode didn’t age so well
