The CageThis original pilot episode of The Original Series was written in 1964 but not aired until 1988. It stands as the purest example of Gene Roddenberry's vision, and carries the essential themes of "Star Trek" but has a different set of main characters and terminologies. Fans will be surprised by a softer, gentler Spock - who, notwithstanding the personality shift, is the only main character to carry over into The Original Series second pilot and series.
