When Gene Roddenberry produced the first "Star Trek" pilot in 1964, the Enterprise was commanded by Captain Christopher Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter. Even though "The Cage" is commonly referred to as the failed "Star Trek" pilot -- the brass at NBC felt that it "lacked action" and was "too cerebral" -- it was filled with brilliant ideas, thereby making it good enough to grant Roddenberry another try. While Roddenberry knocked it out of the park with the next one, "The Cage" holds up as a fantastic episode in its own right, and one that successfully established the foundation for everything that followed over the next 55 years!
