Remember too that during the time of TOS most households had only one TV. If you missed the first run of an episode you had to catch it in reruns or else you were SOL. At least until it came back in syndication in the 1970s and it was on every weekday afternoon in some markets, thus starting the franchise

When Kirk became Captain of the Enterprise, Gary served under him.It wasn't until after Gary's death on Delta-Vega that the famous Kirk/ Spock relationship would begin . This pilot episode was made part of the series after it was used as a substitute for an episode that didn't get aired on time.so NBC executives put it on to fill the gap. Viewers were stunned because the uniforms and every thing were different. Spock looked different.there was no McCoy. Women wore pants. The shirts were gold and blue, Kirk's was green.Whos Dr. Mark Piper?. The following week Star Trek was back to normal."Where no man has gone before " was now a peek at Kirk's first ever mission on the Enterprise after he took command right after Captain Pike left the ship. 2265.

Go review the early episodes of most shows. They are more daring & experimental about using different angles & fancy shots. The pressure & time needed to do a new episode for every week, they actually do several episodes per day usually, they naturally tend to become more plodding & fall into a new routine. It is rather like starting a new exciting job, you don't know anybody, it hasn't become boring to you. One of two things happens w/ characters, they either deepen, often aspects of the actual actors character invades the invented show character; or the character is reduced to a handful of exaggerated traits associated w/ that character. The latter process is called flanderization, after the Simpson character.

Those titles make me hear Hank Simms in my head from the old Quinn Martin series and "Police Squad". "'Star Trek' - in colour! A Desilu Production. Starring William Shatner as 'Captain James Kirk' of the Starship Enterprise...The guest stars in tonight's episode: Gary Lockwood; Sally Kellerman; and Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln.

Odysseus Rex Because *WE* are not the same, 55 years later. Shatner’s Kirk, would seem ridiculously out of place and anachronistic in a modern science fiction space drama. I enjoy the original Star Trek very much, particularly the first season. But I suspect if the original episodes were aired “as is” for the first time, today; it would be cancelled after less than six episodes. Let’s ignore the computer graphics wizardry that has remade the realism we expect on the screen. The pacing of the show is leaden with levels of exposition and repetition thought to be necessary for a 1960’s audience. Modern audiences are far more sophisticated in the shorthand metaphors we use in TV storytelling. When Star Trek originally aired, it was breathtaking with the speed and complexity that plot, theme and characters were developed. But now, when I watch it, I feel very much like I’m watching “Macbeth”. Excellent drama, but I need to adjust my expectation of how the story will unfold. Audiences would not do that if Roddenberry (or Shakespeare) were presented for an original viewing in 2019. We’ve changed.

One thing I can't figure out: Star Trek and Lost in Space were two of the hardest, most expensive shows ever made for television, even adjusting for inflation. Yet both shows got by with one Executive Producer, one Line Producer, and one or two Associate Producers. Years later, sitcoms like "Friends" and "The Nanny" had only half an hour of material, with NO fx, yet they needed like a dozen "producers"! How does that figure?

Yeah, I guess at some point, somebody must've brought up how big the galaxy is compared to the distance between stars. Maybe. For whatever reason, they decided to leave it a bit more vague... and then later reign it way the hell in. In TNG Wesley once specifically stated that they'd only explored 17% of the galaxy. And Voyager, supposedly stuck so far out in space that it would take many decades at top speed to get home (a top speed that was supposedly way faster than the top speed of the old Enterprise), was still only in the Delta quadrant of _this_ galaxy. Yeah, that opening log _really_ wouldn't fit in canon now.

I don't remember these scenes being deleted from the original broadcast in 1966. The scene where Kirk and Spock are playing chess and beaming the other ship's recorder to the transporter room were in the original episode that was broadcast. Star Trek was definitely a ground breaking show as its first pilot, "The Cage" was the most expensive pilot made up to that point. The fact that the executives at NBC asked for a second pilot was also ground breaking as that had never happened before in network television. Television network executives in those days didn't like science fiction because the special effects made them more expensive than shows about police, doctors or lawyers, which were more common at the time.

I remember seeing the footage of Gary Mitchell walking down the passageway and ogling the female crew member walking in front of him, so that was in the original broadcast episode. I saw every episode of Star Trek's first season when it was originally broadcast in 1966-67. I was 14-15 years old at the time. I was really into science fiction in TV, film, novels and comic books at that age. I still remember seeing the very first broadcast episode, leaning over the arm of a chair in my parents' living room, and watching the opening scene of "The Man Trap", when Kirk and McCoy and a crewman materialized on the surface of Planet M113, with Kirk narrating that they were "beaming down". I still remember blurting out, "Oh, my god! They have teleportation! That's awesome!" My mother told me to calm down, lol!

I'm actually very glad they went with Alexander Courage's theme for Star Trek. It's part of what made the series so memorable. I'm also glad they cut the "Acts One, Two and Three." It was dopey, and made the show seem more like Mission Impossible instead of Star Trek. (Though I did enjoy MI a great deal, especially once Leonard Nimoy showed up as Paris!) Kirk's narration into his log is always essential! That was interesting that the Gary Moore character was reaching for Sally Kellerman then...ooops! Somebody might see me! Better not. Thanks for showing these bits. They were interesting, TC. Not 100% certain they would have added anything to the episode or not; I'll have to think about it. They really should put this as the first episode, then do the one with the Salt monster. I have to say, I'm very, VERY glad they brought in De Kelley to play Dr. McCoy. That other doctor just didn't mesh well. I'm doubly glad they got Spock to stop shouting all the time. That was just ridiculously annoying. I really enjoy your channel a great deal. Hope you're as excited for Axanar as I am. Spoke to Alec last night. They're moving Ares Studios to a brand new office space that's more affordable than the warehouse they're currently in, and has just the right amount of room. Once they get settled, the real work can begin! And we FINALLY get Real Trek in the Canon universe, not this so-called "Prime Universe " that CBS was trying to convince us was canon (ha!), nor worse yet, the stupid Kelvin Timeline. Just good old Star Trek, in the universe in which it belongs. Alec Peters is a really super-nice guy. I enjoy discussing his creation with him. Take care!

You'd do things you normally wouldn't. The mob gives you cover. But that mob will turn against you. Just like Spock told Kirk the only way to stop Mitchell is to maroon him or kill him if necessary to survive. Spock said it himself to Kirk. "You feel I don't." It wasn't personal but necessary to dispose of Mitchell by any means necessary. And Mitchell also said it when he was in the brig. "Spock was right. Kill me if you can."
