The Menagerie Part 1

The Cinemondo background crew members - and special guest Mark Maddox, examine a two-part and very thrillingly intricate courtroom drama episode of Star Trek. The Menagerie Part 1 famously features footage that was repurposed from the original pilot episode of the show in a way that’s so cleverly constructed and perfectly presented, we were finding it difficult to come up with any “anomalies” with this first episode. Spock is breaking all the rules. Is it mutiny? Does Spock have a reason for kidnapping Captain Pike and lying to Starfleet and Captain Kirk? Or has he just gone mad? You must see the rest of the transmission!!! And after you listen to this episode, you have to join us for part two.

Written by series creator Gene Roddenberry and directed by Marc Daniels (part one)
