That was the pilot. It is probably the worst episode.


That was "The Man Trap", but not as bad as "Spock's Brain".

IMO the Gary Mitchel episode is where to start the series.



The actual "second" pilot - the first episode filmed with Shatner as Kirk and Kelley as McCoy - "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The original pilot had Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike - it was called "The Cage" - it was not aired during the original run. The footage was incorporated into a 2-part episode called "The Menagerie".

A brilliant use for the otherwise worthless footage. The pilot, without Kirk and McCoy, was just too different to be aired on its own.
