Watching this, I realize how much I miss the original series. 😀
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
Hulu! They have TOS and TNG in their entireties.
@@garylobo348 Uncut?
I hope you are watching Star Trek Strange New World. Its terrific! Very much vibes of ToS.
I've seen these scenes before. They can't be unreleased until 2009. Only the opening credit shots are new. Clickbait.
The first appearance of Gary Lockwood's transformed eyes is still chilling..
Especially when they briefly remain on the screen during blackout.
There's a story somewhere on TY about how painful it was for him to wear the contact lens to show those eyes. Hot lips had a similar issue.
Agreed. Very impressive visual which still holds up after 50+ years
@@daffidavit Must've been the tinfoil :-|
@@ResidentBob79 Oh, that hurts just thinking about it.
Thank you Lucille Ball for forcing the big shots at the studio to permit this second pilot after the first was rejected. We "All Love Lucy"!
Yes, and thank you, Lucy, for insisting that the actor (Roger Perry) who played Capt. Christopher in "Tomorrow is Yesterday" in TOS of Star Trek played that role. Roger Perry died at the age of about 85 in 2017.
As wannabe astronaut "Capt. Christopher" said just before he was sent back to the earth's normal timeline, and observed the Earth and the moon as the Enterprise was zooming past the planets:
"Thanks for the look ahead".

The original TREK has a certain charm that the other TREK series don't have.

Bill Shatner's 'Kirk' was Strong from day one. He was the Perfect Choice, no one could have played James T. better!!
Absolutely. I still can't get used to see Chris Pine in the role.
I preferred John Belushi.
*James R.
But others were considered. Jeffrey Hunter didn't want to return. Jack Lord reportedly wanted "a piece of the action" that Gene Roddenberry wasn't willing to give. Patrick O'Neal was an actor of range but I'd doubt we'd have seen much of that here, and with decades of hindsight I see so much of him in other characters that Kirk had to contend with. Same could be said about Lloyd Bridges and James Coburn. Shatner was known and had presence, with perhaps an edge on youth that the producers probably felt defined the threshold target audience. Roll the dice, take a deep breath, and...the rest is history.
Gil Gerard.
When the story mattered, and the special effects were done to enhance the story. Ah...the good old days.
The new series isnt bad, but it has looted and wrecked so many of the original series stories that it hurts to watch it at times. To me, the two most interesting characters have been Spock and Hemmer and they killed Hemmer off last week.
"Put all decks on the alert!" Cut to crew casually strolling around as if they were at the beach. Classic.
tradewins It was only a Mellow Alert.
"Alert". not "Red Alert", so its get to posts without undue haste. No unpurposed strides here.
Everyone in unisex uniforms, before the women got put into the skimpy miniskirts for titillation. And I wonder where the guy in the airport crash fire gear was headed?
airport crash fire gear 😂
@@donbrynelsen2157 He's off to find a place where he can scratch his nose in privacy, probably.
I always loved the condition alert scenes with the hallways packed with people going to their stations, made it look like an actual ship. And the camera looking down at 2:50 was a nice touch.
That's my favourire little bit from the pilot version. Gives one the feeling of similar scenes in The Wrath of Khan? All crew running to alert stations.
They did a great job with angles & shadows in the original series.
Yes 👍 my favourite part in all episodes the 🚨/ siren and all crew to battle stations... just brilliant NCC 1701 .... 🇮🇪
I remember seeing this when it aired. I think it came on at 10pm. It was really different compared to anything like it. This episode was really adventurous going beyond the galaxy and ESP. I wish they would have made more shows like this one, it was very serious and actually scary.
I recall watching some episodes in 1970 when I was 10. The only ones that stuck with me over the years until the reruns started up were the one with the planet killer and the episode 'Spock's Brain'. Todat I could not begin to tell you how many times I have watched the original series, nor TNG. I've watched the entire "Enterprise / Star Trek: Enterprise" series 3 times, Voyager twice and DS9 once (never a big fan of the latter).
I'm nearly done with my second watching of 'Discovery" and have watched 1 and 2 of 'Strange New Worlds' with episodes 3 and 4 recorded and saved to watch later. I like to watch episodes in bunches. When I record EP 5 this week I'll enjoy a great 3-hour session this weekend. It takes willpower to sit on episodes without peeking, but it is worth it! The fun part is avoiding spoilers until then.
love how scotty hides his hand. as we all know by now of him being an actual hero
Thanks for the Reminder , I had read about his injury several years back , but had forgotten all about it . Just returned from Wikipedia . Got the Story !
I remember meeting Jimmy at a Worldcon around 1980, back in the day when the actors and fans often just hung out and chatted in the hotel bar. We were all having drinks when I noticed the missing finger, my eyes bugged out, he saw it, and laughed. Told us how he always hid it on screen and what happened during the war. He was a really nice guy.
as a tradesman we often lose fingers . using tools can be dangerous. it was often a mark of being a railroad man. he could have ran with it. it would have only added to his persona

@@CriticalenquiryOrg
By The Gods!!! Those were the days!
But I also think they were the reason Shatner changed, at least, to me. He just wasn't the same as he was in TOS; yeah, ten years had elapsed, but still, it seemed as if he had been.... burned by the exposure to "reality". I used to belong to a Star Trek club and I could put names to all those people in that episode of SNL. (Galaxy Quest, too, for that matter! ;) )
I do wish Kirk's throwaway line to Spock "...but you may learn to enjoy it [your mixed Terran heritage] someday." had been retained. They couldn't have realized it in 1965 or 1966, but that prediction comes to take on tremendous importance in the character of Spock's development.
Hi Carl Howard
, if only, the road not taken.
It's a great line which shows that even at this early stage they understood both Spock's character, and the unique relationship they could form between Kirk and Spock. Shatner and Nimoy's chemistry works perfectly right from square one.
@@lancebaylis3169 Good call!
Mr. Spock being a Vulcan/human hybrid, he felt insulted when Captain Kirk said he seemed human in his behaviour. That's an important trope in the original series. 😆😆🚀🚀🌠🌠⭐🇬🇧
I always get chills with the engaging and iconic music from Star Trek...real classical musical instruments that pull the emotion out of you!
That episode scared me to death as a kid, especially when Gary looks at the Captain when he was monitoring him.
Yes, Mitchell tilts his head back while looking at Kirk. An ominous scene.
@@paulburgio8278 That's due to special contacts used to alter his eye colour, and make his pupils appear silvery. 😲😬🚀🚀
Star trek was light years, lol ahead of it's time.
I saw the first episode aired in 1966. It's hard for younger viewers to understand how game- changing this show was. Many today laugh at and make fun of the props, special effects, and other 1960s' aspects of TOS, but it was thrilling to this 11 y.o. girl back then.
@@GoGreen1977
And much of it still holds up today, IF you can extrapolate to what dialogs should have been. No female starship captains? WRONG. Starfleet would not do that. Janice Lester was bats#!t crazy.
Most of that comes from the network interference anyway. (Gee! Nobody's gonna believe that!)
Hi Arthur Watt
, it most certainly was
Good pun, and TOS is still holds up well, depending on the episodes involved. 🚀🚀🚀
You know, I have been seeing this footage since it was shown on a 16mm projector at an early convention in Manhattan in 1976... and in all that time, this is the first I have ever seen this footage sharp and clean.
It's the first time I've seen it in high quality on RUclips, it's always the grainy bootleg footage. One would think this higher quality would have been uploaded sooner, it's been available for almost ten years.
@@leandar I'm glad to finally see the footage in high quality as well. I wonder if the Blu Ray release was from the original master print and was run through a major cleaning process to make it watchable on Blu Ray versus the grainy print that Roddenberry dragged around with him at various conventions back in the day.
@@alucard624 Oh I'm sure there was a lot of restoration to get it to blu ray quality.
My 1st time seeing it.
Hi Carl Howard
, it is amazing what can be done with digital and film now.
I love the opening with Shatner's narration blending into the opening credits, I really think they should have kept that!!!
Gary Mitchell was Kirk's best friend way before Spock came around. Gary and Kirk attended Starfleet academy together. They were on other star ships together. 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. The 5 year mission is about to begin.
@@johnbockelie3899 As for Gary Mitchell, I think they got rid of his airgrab behind Yeoman Smith spas not to turn off half the audience. I'm convinced that the lab tech in question that Gary fixed Jim up with was Dr. Janet Wallace, who later turned up in "The Deadly Years."
@@howardlevin2753 Another thing about " Where no man has gone before" is the Kirk/ Spock relationship doesn't spark until the very end. Before Spock, Gary Mitchell was Kirk's best pal. This episode is Kirk's first mission on the Enterprise. Spock came with the ship, he served under capt.Pike since 2254. This episode takes place in 2265. So, Kirk hardly knows Spock.( The tomb stone marked James R. Kirk isn't a mistake. Gene Roddenberry Knew some one by that name, so that's where the name came from . it was later on the middle name was changed to " Tiberius ".) Capt.Pike served for 11 years as Enterprise Captain after Robert April . Enterprise was launched in 2245.
It's funny that Gary could not remember his middle name once he had all his powers, unless he always remembered a line from Kirk that was akin to "risk is my middle name." That would make it easy to forget that his middle name was Tiberius.
@@howardlevin2753 I always thought it was Carol Marcus, because he says he almost married her. That would line up with a heavy relationship that resulted in David being born and the time-line would be about right.
Even this very early, very rough edition is compelling sci-fi. Far, far better than anything produced for television in 1965. Consider that CBS' sci-fi show of the time was Lost in Space. There's a reason why Star Trek is still quite relevant 50 years later.
paktype I remember seeing 40 year old Flash Gordon serials around the same time as syndicated Star Trek in the'70s. I still feel TOS has held up better in the 21st century than the Flash Gordon serials did in the 70s-80s.
Oh yeah its real relevant. Please find just one galaxy that has a force feild barrier that gives people ESP powers and i;ll award you a million dollars. Lost in Space during its first season dealt with a family of astronauts surviving on an alien planet with conflicting personalities. everybody was goody good on Star Trek.
you're a troll. That offer is about as good as offering a reward for jumping into space from land. Stop saying stupid things.
Yeah what happened in Season 3 of TOS buddy... almost.A whole season wasted.... so get off theTtrek is better than LIS shtick ..trek episode for episode has far too many clunkers...only about 40 today are still even watchable. YOU sit through Spocks Brain and Elyaan of Troius lol
I like the robot, but Spock is the better robot actor.
Watched it back then as a kid. There would have been no ST without Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. ❤️❤️ Their chemistry made the show and the movies. I loved Gary Lockwood and still do but those contacts he had to wear scared me back then. They still do☹️. R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy and all the cast members and Mr. Roddenberry. Also Mark Lenard who was great as Sarek. ❤️
53 yo guy from Nova Scotia. I'm a disturbingly passionate fan of the original Star Trek. Nothing else to say! This made my day. Thank you fellow Trekie. Live long and share more of your prosparity of original series cutting room floor delights. 😊
The number and variety of uniforms is off the charts.
I enjoy seeing the original primitive special effects. It's now almost impossible to get an episode without the modern CGI special effects replacement scenes.
John, Amazon Prime has both versions, all 3 seasons. I agree with you -- the "remastered" effects detract from the show.
I think the 'primitive" special effects also made the sets look more practical and utilitarian. The modern CGI makes everything look like a light show.
About the only way to watch just the original versions is via the first released DVD sets. If you want to have the ability to watch both versions definitely get the Blu Ray sets as you can switch between the two.
Thanks Bro. These deleted scenes were almost like an episode I never seen before.
I absolutely love the background music from the first season. Some of it is kinda eerie (in a good way), but all of it really enhances the tone and feel of the story.
As David Turner said below, the camera angles made this look so much better. I liked the episode actually, even if I preferred the later red, blue and gold uniform shirts. The typical American 'Act 1' 'Epilogue' etc of its day, reminded me of 'FBI' and other American TV series that was broken down within an episode. In a good way, it made it different to UK TV series.
"A Quinn-Martin Production!"
Astronaut Frank Poole and Hotlips Houlihan, what a combo.
To me the only Hotlips Houlihan is Loretta Swit :-)
@@TrekkieChannel Agreed. Dehner's character was nothing like Houlihan's. Any such comparison, is purely regards appearance, which isn't particularly apt, either. Swit was attractive, but Kellerman leaves her way in the shade, IMO.
Wow, James Doohan's credit is dead last! Not a good way to treat your chief engineer, laddies.....
Wrong! "Last" is considered good billing!
My favorite episode!! Really impressed me when I saw it as a kid!
Nice ! Thanks for uploading this clip !
Just imagine... Gary Lockwood AKA Frank Poole, is still out there floating around in Jupiter Space thanks to the HAL 9000 SERIES COMPUTER.
He was revived in 3001, if you read the book by A.C. Clarke.
@@lynnpoint6395 : Yes , but it's not 3001 yet , so Frank is still out there 😀
Read 3001, the final book in Arthur Clarke's series.
According to Gary Lockwood, he still has trouble with his eyes from the contact lenses he had to wear for this episode.
John Agar had the same complaint about his contacts in "Brain From Planet Arous", and actor Paul Birch complained his contacts caused permanent injury too in "Not Of This Earth" (the original one).
Funny, Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno didn't have permanent injuries.
@@davidlafleche1142 Two possibilities come to mind-1, like all technologies, contacts were made progressively thinner and more flexible, and again thanks to technology marching on, 2- it was possible to pixelate and change the eyes in the videos without any external appliances like contacts.
@@davidlafleche1142 Perhaps, because special effects contacts lens got better over time. You're talking about 1965, when this episode was filmed, vs. 1977, when "The Incredible Hulk" pilot was filmed. To get a better perspective, ask Geraint Wyn Davies and Nigel Bennett how their eyes are after filming "Forever Knight" in the 1990's.
Herbert F. Solow discusses in a RUclips video (Inside Star Trek the Real Story) how they searched for a company that made full sclera contacts. The guy that made them sandwiched wrinkled aluminum foil between two lenses, but didn't know the actor needed to see! When they remade them they added in pin holes for the actors to see. Sally Kellerman's contact lens fittings went smoothly, but Gary's did not. He had to tilt his head back and look down - almost Godlike.
Love seeing this in such great quality, thank you!
I'm glad they didn't stick with this music, though.
I agree, I also prefer the music used in the final version
Hi christosvoskresye, I agree, that music is somewhat underwhelming and not very inspiring, but still somewhat typical of the era and those productions.
They did keep it for incidental music though, which it's more suited for.
_Star Trek_: A Quinn Martin production.
Exactly!!!
"Star Trek: A Quinn Martin production."
Captain Kirk has seen them, for him it began on the U.S.S. Enterprise journeying on its 5 year mission. for him it began while taking a short cut through the Romulan Neutral Zone that he never found, and a man too long without sleep to allow him and his crew to continue their immediate journey. (Dramatic tone) It began with the encounter with the Romulans, now Captain Kirk knows the Romulans are here....but they've taken the form of their Vulcan brothers, and now a Starship Captain must convince a dis-believing galaxy, that the nightmare has already begun!
"The Guest Stars in Tonight's Story........Robert Vaughn.......Wally Cox......and special guest star Yvonne De Carlo..........Tonight's Episode: Twinkle Twinkle Little Pulsar.
Lol, nice one!
Star Trek Invaders.
Wow! Those scenes add so much more depth and tension. Shame they didn't use them.
:-)
It might've helped had they used the scenes of high or low camera angles, just as in the Outer Limits, to emphasize dramatic storytelling effect. 😟🇬🇧🇺🇸⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you. This was a great collection that I’d never seen before.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man, in months it will be a half century old.
well, if you count from The Cage, it already is?
edusuntrebor
Oh, you're right. The Cage was filmed in 1964.
I know it was only one episode with Pike as captain, but seeing as how The Menagerie brought that pilot into the fold, it's where I start counting.
In other news, starting to get that feeling with Back to the Future, especially as we grow close to when they went in 2015.
edusuntrebor
Michael J Fox could play his middle aged character again without make-up. However, his character looked older than he does now.
Well, that's good then? We can say he looked older from the emotional weight before the accident in '85 was overwritten?
It's incredible how different the full series was compared to the first 2 pilots.
Is it just me or is there some interesting choices in camera angles? Made the ship's hall look bigger.
I thought the same thing when the camera was in the catwalk above the hallway looking down threw the grating as the People/Crew hurried about....with only the tops of their heads showing.
I thought;
"That's an interesting/odd angle & Perspective, did he learn that in Film School and decided to use the technique in this situation because it is odd & unusual.
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.
@@VictorLepanto "Several episodes per day"? If you're talking about game shows, maybe. Star Trek normally had a four- or five-day shooting schedule for each episode.
@@scotpens It all depends on the show. I believe that sit-coms will often record more then one episode per day. Sometimes different scenes are recorded in different places. If another location then is usual is used in more then one episode then they might record all them there in one day. Movies generally don't film in sequence.
Hi David Turner, yes, some of those overhead shots and other angels make the set seem bigger.
I love the matte paintings. Such an attention to detail and foresight that is sorely missing from the franchise now.
This was the very best of Trek in my book. The story was compelling, and there was some solid action. The props, uniforms, sets, weapons, and even Spock’s appearance differed from the rest of the series, and were recycled from “The Cage”. I think they should have been retained! It is a shame that Gene Roddenberry didn’t purchase the Phaser Rifle from it’s creator for use on the show. A missed opportunity.
Gary Mitchell’s eyes still ”get me” when the scene fades out. I just watched this episode on Hulu last night. The quality and detail we can see on modern TVs is amazing. The re-mastered special effects make an already-great story that much better.
I remember seeing this years ago on a bootleg imported from Australia. This was the actual pilot version Desilu showed the NBC brass.
I am a big Star Trek fan i really liked the video the original Enterprise design is still the greatest Starship
The D really sucks in my humble opinion. I really like the E as it hearkens back to NCC 1701. The NX 1701 from ST:Enterprise was damn cool too.
Actually a not very thorough investigation into what was altered from the original pilot to the way the episode aired. During the fight scene between Mitchell and Kirk at the end Kirk kicks Gary Mitchell in the groin but because of the sensors they replaced that shot with a shot of Sally Kellerman.
I think this should have been the first aired episode, not "The Man Trap", if alone for the fact of different sets and uniforms.
I agree
Chris Terry. Because they had a meeting and decided Man Trap was the best hook episode to start with for the five episodes they had ready in Sept of 66. It had a monster, but was still cerebral enough to set the mood. People expected a monster in space movies and shows up to that point. The idea was to lure an audience then train them to a more Twilight Zone style depth. Balock CharlieX nor Mitchell were not scary enough
Balance of Terror eventually hooked the adult audience for the first year.
Balance of Terror was an incredible episode, but that enemy sub captain sure looked like Spock's dad, which is weird.
@@JeffreyHolton That right. The actor, Mark Lenard, played both the Romulan Commander and Spock's father, Sarek.
TheWaffleman54 Dood. Seriously.
Oh wow...how cool to see so much corridor action.
Now I want to see the restored Blu Ray version of
" Where No Man Has Gone Before "
Bill23799 you can find that on Season 1, Disc 1.
The Netflix episodes are the remastered ones. All the exterior shots of the ship are CGI. When I first saw them, I didn't know they weren't original, then I noticed blue and red stars. "Say that's not how I remember it."
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.
zardox78: I always laughed about that. "Heck Janeway isn't worth a crap. Kirk would've gotten home by the first commercial."
Most people today, under 40 couldn't add 1/4 & 5/8 together if they had a gun to their Fuk'n heads.
I know, I work with them, as a Forman, I'm 55yrs young NOW, it was like Hell.
They were the Dumbest, lazy and intitaled useless SOB NFG POS you ever seen.
And when it got blow -10°c....They broke into little bitty pieces.
P.S.
A: 7/8ths
At least it wasn't on the level of Lost in Space, where they routinely confused "galaxy" with "solar system."
You are correct . On some very rare occasions some crews have traveled beyond the galaxy but it was because something happened like the traveler or Q or whatever.
Yup, the idea that they were going to travel between galaxies seems a bit far-fetched, even with space warp. But nowhere near as problematic as Lost in Space, where they routinely confused "solar system" with "galaxy"
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome
I must have seen the uncut pilot before because I remember all of these scenes except the titles.
I have seen some of these some these scenes before.
Some of the scenes you remember from t.v. where just a second or two shorter; here, they're full length!
This version was shown at conventions way back in the day but definitely not in this quality.
The incidental music reminds me of “Robinson Crusoe on Mars” (1964) from this same time period.
Byron Haskin, who directed that film, served as a co-producer for Star Trek’s “The Cage”.
I've watched this many times, I love the phaser rifle! I always wondered why they didn't go under or over the great barrier, they always went into it, lol. Thanks for the cut scenes, I didn't know about it before. LLAP
Hi @
TrekkieChannel, a great video, thank you for sharing 👍
Fascinating. None of these extended moments were seen officially until now.
Do you think it would be possible to include the remastered visual effects but the original pacing and assembly?
I have this in its entirety in the TOS box set. Interesting to see it in this style.
I got the complete blu ray series for TOS Christmas 2016 and I remember seeing this for the very first time, hearing Kirks voiceover for the original second pilot and how incredibly surreal it felt- like an unearthed buried treasure after all this time. Of course, that’s what this is lol but still.
Like the scenes, but really glad they changed the music!
Me too. The soundtrack for the original wasn't horrible, but I prefer the final version
Even better: Lost in Space, 3rd Season.
Felt more like an episode of Outer Limits.
See my earlier statement!
The stock music has a lot to do with that. Hats off to the Trek production team for figuring out that they needed their own groundbreaking sound.
@@RobMacKendrick There’s no stock music in this episode. The score was composed by Alexander Courage, same as the first pilot.
@@michaelhall2709 Ah, OK. Well, it's more conventional than the music they'd eventually go with.
@@RobMacKendrick No argument there. It’s also a very downbeat soundtrack when compared with that for “The Cage,” which is actually much closer to the swashbuckling music used in the rest of the series.
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!
Trivia: Both Star Trek & Mission: Impossible were both pitched to NBC by Herb Solow.
That's Andrea Dromm (Ensign Smith) he's reaching for.
The soundtrack to this seems more reminiscent of Dominic Frontiere’s music for *The Outer Limits*-maybe what was thought of back then as a "standard sound" for SF soundtracks on TV…
Gary Lockwood (the actor) or Gary Mitchell (the character), not Moore. Garry Moore was a TV game show and variety show host.
@@scotpens thank you so much for bringing that to my attention! I don't know where my head was at! I did mean to say Gary Lockwood of course. Must have been because I was watching classic game shows like Match Game with my mother earlier that day, and it scrambled my brain, lol! That's the information age for ya! You brain gets yanked in 100 different directions at once and what ends up coming out is word salad, sigh.....🤔
Jeez - I’m glad they updated the opening and closing credits. Star Trek TOS is light years ahead of any other show in the franchise to date, and it seems that’s in great part due to its iconic music 😁👍
Wow! What a treasure for an incurable Star Trek fan like myself to stumble upon accidently on RUclips.
Thank you Gene. But thank you Lucille Ball for having the imagination to O.K. this T.V. journey of the imagination that would inspire so many people in the world.
I loved the voice overs....
As great as The Cage was, I feel this is more effective. The Captain's Log at the start of Act 2 is fantastic...and really gives depth to what kind of predicament the Enterprise is in. The ending music after Kirk says: "There may be some hope for you after all..." is just brilliant...it really gives a mariner feel for space travel. The two pilots were really done well...and Where No Man Has Gone Before was done extremely well.
Nah.
@@paullubliner6221 Sorry, but the thumbs up have it, 45 to your NONE (as of April 2019, not sure what star date that is). Jeez, you can at least give yourself a thumbs up y'know?
I love the 2nd pilot its one of my top three episodes along with doomsday machine and balance of terror. All are epic!
This is on the last disc of season three along with two versions of "The Cage". I'm glad that the blu-ray set has all of these wonderful bonus features.
Unfortunately only 2 versions and not all 6 of them
Epic...Gary lockwood...aka frank poole 2001 space odyssey..I miss these classics
So, why can't the modern show runners watch these old episodes and learn how to do it right?
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?
Because they think they're smarter?
@@davidlafleche1142 Check the Short Treks. One of them (I don't remember which one right now) had 24 (!) producers for a 12 or so minutes long episode. Sad.
Everything is political now. Women must be portrayed as large and in charge, an equal if not superior.
Boy, am I glad the show’s theme music was changed to the iconic one we all remember today.
*"...Where no man has gone BEFORE!"*
(Q the music)
@@tommyodonovan3883 Q: Did you call my name, mon captaine?
Glad to see where the music that was released on the compilation of the score of this and The Cage appeared in the original version.
Edit: in case it is not mentioned later, these titles were on the episode when it was shown at the 1966 World Con in Cleveland, Ohio.
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. Tonight's Episode: 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'."
2:38 Gary Mitchell played by Gary Lockwood playing himself as a horn dog! Love it!
He looked at a woman in a lustful way! Dirty evil man! #metoo
Beyond_the_Infinite : why.. was GL always Birdoggin' the GIRLS? 😉
@@garytwitchett9359 , Well, at least, he didn't in 2001. Though given his fate, perhaps, it was unfortunate that he didn't have the opportunity.
She was nova that one
It was sorta key to the interaction between him and Kellerman's character
The Gary Mitchell actor would have totally taken over the show if he'd become a regular. You can see the charisma as he steals scenes from Kirk.
He could have pulled of being Kirk, for that matter.
He was a better actor and better looking too.
aDBo'Ch 1 Lockwood spent a portion of his career in soap operas.
aDBo'Ch 1 Actor Erik Braden had a recurring role in Rat Patrol. He was German born and changed his name which was Hans something. He has had a long career in Soaps. Gary Lockwood was in a soap my mother watched, "The Edge of Night", a sort of daytime police drama. I remember watching this episode as a kid, my mom poked her head in and noticed Gary Mitchell, and asked me what so and so from her soap opera was doing on Star Trek, and wondered how long he had been on the show. I explained that he was only in the one episode and got killed off at the end.
Funny though... I've never seen even so much as a flash of charisma in any other role Gary Lockwood has ever played. Now Sally Kellerman... YUM. (Also, taller than The Shatner, so... awwwk-waaaard!)
Being a kid back in the 70s and 80s when Star Trek was in syndication-priceless.
I like these Deleted Scenes I once had the original version of that episode but I lost it. I liked the title graphics and the way they did it however these days people would get very bored with it. people want flashy graphics. maybe the people in the 60s didn't like it either and the studio wanted to cancel it quickly. but as most REAL Star Trek fans Lucille Ball stepped and kept the show going a bit more than the Studio Execs wanted to. those deleted scenes are nice but it only compliments the story just a little more.
This is missing Act 4. I tried to splice together this and my normal version but realized at Act 4 it was missing the title card / prologue for that act. I actually have this on Blu Ray but wished to be able to watch it on my Ipad :) So I got to editing and realized by Act IV that segment was missing.
careycatclips you’re right. That’s something that is still missing here.
As a kid after watching this and other TV, I really wanted to grow up looking like Gary Lockwood or Glenn Corbett. Real good looking men's men.
Same here in my imagination. Corbett also does a great job in Robinson Crusoe On Mars.
If you pay close attention to the show "Twelve 'O-Clock High", you will notice 8-bar strains of music that will end up being the theme for Star Trek 🎶✈🚀👽
I didn't notice this until just recently when I started re-watching the series 📺
Curses, now I want to pull out my DVD and Blu-Ray copies to compare.
As if I don't waste enough time already...
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.
Check this video for a side-by-side comparison of the pilot version and the broadcast version, hopefully it will be more clear what was cut : ruclips.net/video/uxMB4X0rAJw/видео.html
@@TrekkieChannel I'm still not seeing that much that was different other than the music and the credits, which was standard for pilot episodes vs episodes that were later broadcast. 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! After she had sat through a few episodes with me, my mother said that William Shatner was really a "ham" and terrible actor, lol!
I've always wondered why the early Spock yelled so much on the bridge and then all the later episodes he didn't
They didn't really develop Spock yet.
NImoy's original style of playing Spock was developed for 'The Cage' pilot. Jeffrey Hunter gave a subtle performance as Captain Pike and Nimoy felt that his character needed to be louder and more in-your-face to compensate for this. Nimoy continued this style into 'Where no man has gone before'. Having noted Shatner's larger-than-life 'Shacting' style, Nimoy realised that he could afford to play Spock in a more subtle, contemplative way, and that became the Spock we know today.
Every weeknight I see repeats of Star Trek. Found a couple full episodes I listen to on my Tablet to fall asleep with. I like watching them too. Have to skip the ads though. The Doomsday Machine and Balance of Terror where we first see Romulans. The commander later played Spock’s father, Sarek.
I love it, 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Thank you for posting.

Dang, I've never scene this clip in good quality before!
blockmasterscott which one?
Act I... Act II... Act III... Act IV... Epilogue... Was this a Quinn-Martin Production ("in color")?
To be honest they tried something like that
Desilu, actually. Now part of CBS Studios.
Reminiscent of Dr Who.
Like the fugitive and the invaders? Star trek was like them insofar as there was an initial explanation of what was going on at the start of each episode
Ha. I'm so old I actually get that reference.
Enticing intriguing entertaining thoughtful well made and produced with excellent actuarial interactions all that is good, it is and will always be a true classic.
Cool!! I'd never watched those scenes before (although of course I know "s1e03" very well), Thanks!!
This episode is always cool to watch, by the way - while Scotty and Sulu are already present, McCoy still was not conceived, and Spock himself is merely "half-baked" and his character is still very different from what we'd later get to know.🙃
Gene Roddenberry wanted to do Star Trek like this in 3 acts. Saner heads prevailed. It's cool seeing how it could have been.
I have to say, the worst thing cut was the beginning. But that does qualify as canon. For my channel fully finished alternate scenes that are not alternates of original scenes are not canon including scenes that are redone in the digital edition.
I like how the opening "all hands" scene shows how Gary Mitchell was full of himself all along. Still convinced that the pretty lab technician he aimed at Kirk was Janet Wallace("The Deadly Years").
In retrospect, it makes sense for it to be Dr. Marcus.
@@redshirtveteran5688 Actually, Kirk exclaimed, "I almost married her!" Never any hint of a kid, but that was unheard of on tv in '65.
@@fgldnglbs True, but considering there WAS a kid, it wouldn't be out of place for the reason why he almost married her, right?
Course, there's no telling how well that line was thought out at the time.
Yes, I know there would have been too much going on in the J.J. Abrams movies, but I was hopeful that Gary Mitchell would make an appearance of some kind. If my memory serves, there were all kinds of hints that he was going to be the villain of the second movie, before we finally discovered that they'd just rehashed Khan.
@@fgldnglbs >>"I almost married her!"
Wow! Lots of that Rowlux Illusion moiré plastic in the ship's hallway sets. (later only seen in the transporter room) Loved the aesthetic of the pilot episodes, the sets, the props, the uniforms, everything.
The most disturbing aspect of Where No Man Has Gone Before was how Lt. Commander Mitchell was willing to use his newfound powers to kill his own shipmates.
It was the 60s. We were at war in Vietnam. Nightly footage on TV of our patrols, battles, wounded, and the dead.
Power corrupts absolutely. Of course Mitchell was willing to use his new found powers to dominate and kill his crew mates. He merely proved that when you feel you can do anything now with his powers no need to care anymore. His powers just enabled him to bring out what was already in him. It's like the mob mentality. 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."
I think the idea was along the lines of "absolute power corrupts."
@@johnborges5938 absolute power corrupts absolutely actually.
I just love the atmospheric music. This was Star Trek before the humour set in. Discovery is a pretty serious show though and I really like it
So all these scenes we didn't see back in the day were just the credits when the shows first few minutes aired. Good to know the same people were in the show.
I first saw this version with the missing scenes at a ST convention in the mid-70s. Had quite a few jaws on the floor.
You missed an additional shot during the Kirk and Gary fight scene.
Really? I definitely have to re-check it
TrekkieChannel It’s the shot of the Enterprise leaving Delta Vega.
TrekkieChannel You also missed the beginning of Act IV.
This version would have the version of the title theme with the electric violin playing the lead melody.
They didn't show it but I really liked the dialog between Kirk and Spock at the end of the episode. Trek was telling its viewers that even after the Kirk- Mitchell friendship was dead, a new and everlasting one was born.
Awesome music and intro!!
This was my favorite episode for a very long time.
I love that original theme music !
It's surely interesting
There is nothing outer space or futuristic about it. Same problem with STTNG theme.
@@howie9751 The TNG theme ie The Motion Picture theme, is a grand "navy in space" theme IMO.
I didn’t like the original music..but at least in this episode the starship felt more “alive” than the rest of the episodes since it felt “empty”. At least to me but considering this was the 60’s and they didn’t have the kind of budgeted Discovery/DS9 had 🤷♂️..they had to make do
A question arises: *If* the barrier and the Esper transformation wasn't a factor, what would have become of Enterprise's mission? Were they supposed to just roam the interstellar void for the entirety of their tour, hoping to come across some kind of anything like scanning for shortwave signals in the middle of the night?
If given thought, it's pretty idiotic. Gee, maybe they would have encountered those same protozoa, and miserably realized that the ship and crew had lost its sex appeal. Of course, we would have to count on Spock to have been able to make the intuitive leap that Chakotay did. Debatable, as Tuvok didn't!!!😂😂😂
Let sleeping plot holes lie.
I thought they figured whatever happened to the Valiant happened not too far beyond the edge of the galaxy. Their plan was to retrace the most likely path of the Valiant to find out what happened to it.
Here is what i love about this episode, before I tell you, I must add that I have all three seasons, remastered on DVD. I have seen this episode more than any other episode, I like it that much, did anyone else notice, when Kirk first turns Mitchell over, and we see his eyes glow for the first time, and we they are going black, for a commercial, but the eyes remained glowing for a few seconds more when the screen is black, it's this attention to detail that I love Trek so much!
MCMLXV.>1965, meaning that was the first with Shatner in February of that year. Which means the Pilot Episode began filming on November 27, 1964 at the Desilu Studios( not known as Culver Studios) in Culver City.
