And live it does. 5 00:01:00,408 --> 00:01:02,832 For over two decades it has. 6 00:01:07,752 --> 00:01:15,384 But now I want to take you back to a time when the Enterprise and Spock and Kirk and all the rest were just part of an idea I had. 7 00:01:16,162 --> 00:01:18,512 Back to the beginnings of "Star Trek" 8 00:01:19,248 --> 00:01:27,096 To the first star trek pilot, a pilot being a film that is meant to demonstrate to the network what a new series will look like each week. 9 00:01:27,152 --> 00:01:32,064 This 60 minutes is today considered something of a television document. 10 00:01:32,544 --> 00:01:37,416 And some regard it as perhaps as exciting as any "Star Trek" that's since been filmed. 11 00:01:37,584 --> 00:01:41,472 When the network saw what you soon will see, they rejected it. 12 00:01:41,472 --> 00:01:45,560 From that day until now, the first pilot has never been seen in its original form. 13 00:01:45,564 --> 00:01:48,704 This "Star Trek" pilot story is called "The Cage"." 14 00:01:48,704 --> 00:01:51,552 Spock: "Check the circuit" Tyler: "All operating, sir." 15 00:01:51,552 --> 00:01:52,632 Spock: "Can't be the screen then" 16 00:01:52,632 --> 00:02:00,264 "It begins on the bridge of a recognizable starship Enterprise,("Could be these meteoroids")commanded by Captain Christopher Pike, played by the late Jeff Hunter. 17 00:02:00,644 --> 00:02:07,512 So far so good, except that TV in those days was at the peak of it's love affair with the western story. 18 00:02:07,762 --> 00:02:16,440 I wanted to sell my series so I promised the network that my "Star Trek" idea would be little more than a space Western, a wagon train to the stars. 19 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,328 Zap guns instead of six-shooters, spaceships instead of horses. 20 00:02:20,828 --> 00:02:27,456 But as I began writing that pilot,I suddenly realised that here was a chance to do the kind of drama I'd always dreamed of doing. 21 00:02:27,504 --> 00:02:34,008 I had seen science fiction movies before, but I'd always thought to myself, not enough characterisation, not enough motivation. 22 00:02:34,308 --> 00:02:40,632 Perhaps I could use this as an excuse to go to those far off planets, with little polka-dotted people, if necessary. 23 00:02:40,632 --> 00:02:48,336 And be able to talk about love, war, nature, God, sex, all those things that go to make up the excitement of the human condition. 24 00:02:48,336 --> 00:02:52,512 And maybe the TV censors would let it pass because it all seemed so make-believe. 25 00:02:53,448 --> 00:02:57,816 So instead of a space Western I delivered a very different kind of story. 26 00:03:12,532 --> 00:03:22,061 One which dealt with the strange dangers of illusion, the enormous power of imagination, with whole worlds that could come from inside people's heads. 27 00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:38,160 [Pike is in pain and screams as he is burned in flames] 28 00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:46,632 "And is if that wasn't enough, back in those days before the phrase Women's Lib was ever heard, I put a woman second in command of our starship. 29 00:03:46,632 --> 00:03:54,240 On top of which, my script required our actress, Majel Barrett,to play this woman as having a highly superior, computerised mind." 30 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,992 Pike: "She does a good job, alright. It's just that I can't get used to having a woman on the bridge." 31 00:04:00,444 --> 00:04:08,736 "You might have thought the ladies in our test audience would have appreciated that. Instead their comments were "Who does she think she is?"." 32 00:04:11,496 --> 00:04:15,600 Pike: "No offence, Lieutenant. You're...different of course." 33 00:04:18,436 --> 00:04:21,984 And I had written in another character who wasn't even human, 34 00:04:22,056 --> 00:04:26,424 an alien who looked like Satan himself, complete with pointy ears. 35 00:04:26,674 --> 00:04:30,744 Was that all? No, I was uncooperative in other ways too. 36 00:04:30,744 --> 00:04:34,512 For example no one onboard the USS Enterprise smoked, 37 00:04:34,512 --> 00:04:38,700 and tobacco advertising was key to network profits in those days. 38 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:45,336 Also, I'd refused to cast our crew "sensibly", which meant all whites. 39 00:04:45,336 --> 00:04:48,408 And when the network finally saw the pilot 40 00:04:48,408 --> 00:04:51,048 some of their executives were outraged. 41 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,568 And I can't say I really blame them. 42 00:04:53,568 --> 00:04:58,312 For the considerable money they had put up, they certainly did not get a Western space opera. 43 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,248 In fact nothing even faintly like that. 44 00:05:01,348 --> 00:05:05,352 But this part of the story isn't as simple as good guys versus bad guys either. 45 00:05:05,352 --> 00:05:13,032 The network's very top program executive was impressed by the fact that this film made him feel as if he'd actually been flying in a spaceship. 46 00:05:13,056 --> 00:05:17,928 Doing something almost never done before, the network ordered a second pilot, 47 00:05:17,928 --> 00:05:21,584 and this one had better be familiar action-adventure, or else. 48 00:05:28,972 --> 00:05:32,904 and so the second "Star Trek" pilot was made, it was accepted, 49 00:05:33,024 --> 00:05:35,880 and the rest turned into our shared history. 50 00:05:39,528 --> 00:05:43,248 Well if social fashions change, economics never do. 51 00:05:43,248 --> 00:05:46,632 By the time we got into the series, a money crunch was on, 52 00:05:46,632 --> 00:05:52,776 and we folded our pilot into another story which you know as "The Menagerie". The two part movie. 53 00:05:52,776 --> 00:05:56,700 That's how Captain Kirk met Christopher Pike and learned of his tragic fate. 54 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,296 In the film that follows, parts are in color, parts in black and white. 55 00:06:01,296 --> 00:06:07,248 The color footage was used in "The Menagerie", the parts that are in black and white parts are all that is left from the first pilot. 56 00:06:07,704 --> 00:06:13,008 Now we'll roll the story that Kirk never saw, our unseen pilot "The Cage". 57 00:06:13,008 --> 00:06:16,488 And after it's over, come back - and there's more to tell. 58 00:07:15,024 --> 00:07:16,958 - Check the circuit. - All operating, sir. 59 00:07:17,026 --> 00:07:18,960 Can't be the screen, then. 60 00:07:20,963 --> 00:07:23,864 Definitely something out there, Captain, headed this way. 61 00:07:25,868 --> 00:07:28,302 Could be these meteoroids. 62 00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:31,396 No. It's something else.
