The Alternative Factor
The first Star Trek episode was called 'The Cage.' It starred Jeffrey Hunter as Capt. Christopher Pike. The pilot was rejected. The episode was created in 1966, but did not air until October 1988. Parts of this episode were aired in the original series as flashbacks in the episode 'The Menagerie', which aired in November 1966. The series was picked up with William Shatner playing the role of Capt. James T. Kirk. The first episode of what is now referred to as Star Trek TOS (the orignal series) that aired is 'The Man Trap.' It was actually the 5th episode produced. There was a pilot for Star Trek TOS called 'Where No Man Has Gone Before.' This episode was the first produced, but the 3rd to air as part of the first season of Star Trek in 1966.
Sept. 8, 1966 and was the first episode of STAR TREK (save some oodles for me)
The Pilot Episode "The Cage" was aired September 1st, 1966. On September 8, 1966 the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was supposed to be shown however NBC decided that it may be to interlectual for its audiences and so tested the water with "The Man Trap" as they liked the idea of Star Trek but wanted to have it appeal to its audience.
The mission stardate for the first episode "The Man Trap" of Star Trek - The Original Series was 1513.1.
one of the first is called Q and Q who Q was also the antagonist in the first episode, "Encounter at Farpoint."
The first episode of Star Trek (the original series) was shown as a "season preview" on NBC television on September 8, 1966. The episode "The Man Trap" was written by George Clayton Johnson.The first episode intended to be shown was the second pilot, called "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (with Gary Lockwood and Sally Kellerman), but it was switched with another episode called "The Man Trap." NBC liked the idea for Star Trek, but they feared it was too brainy for audiences. This was one problem with the first pilot in 1965 (The Cage, with Jeffrey Hunter) and they ordered another pilot (Where No Man Has Gone Before, with Shatner and Nimoy, but not DeForest Kelley).NBC bought the show, but later decided the second pilot was still "too brainy" to be the first episode seen. By this time other episodes were taped, so it was switched it with "The Man Trap" which had a space monster and was considered more accessible. Two other potential pilots, "Mudd's Women" and "The Omega Glory" were later taped as regular episodes, and many scenes from "The Cage" were reused for a two-part episode called "The Menagerie."Network showing of episodes out of order is a trick to grab ratings (in Star Trek's case, "Man Trap" easily beat reruns on other networks). Another example was on the CBS series "Kojak." The episode "Out of the Shadows" was intended to be the second-season opener, and it was a very intelligent episode. But it was switched with "Birthday Party," which was a standard cops-and-robbers episode. So although "The Man Trap" was not the first Star Trek episode made, it was the actually the first episode seen on television.
measure of a man - Next GenerationOffspring might be a good follow up for that/But if you want a bit more action, try the Best of Both Worlds, parts 1 and 2, also Next Generation.
