To get more discussion going about Trek, I'm thinking of making an episode-or-movie-a-day discussion thread, going more or less in order from the beginning. So this would mean starting with "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (pushing "The Cage" back and combining it with "The Menagerie"), and following the episode order as laid out on Memory Alpha.

Hopefully this'll also inspire people to rewatch Trek, even "Spock's Brain" and "Code of Honor" and "Profit and Lace" and "Threshold" and (god help us) "These Are the Voyages."

The big question right now is, how much interest is there in gettin' real nerdy here?

You can watch both at the same time. In any case, after being encouraged by @blackluster117, here's the second episode.

If you don't know, the first episode was a rejected pilot called "The Cage," with Captain Christopher Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) in command of the Enterprise and a female first officer who just goes by Number One. Strangely enough, Number One was played by Majel Barrett, who would go on to play a bunch of other roles: Nurse Christine Chapel in the original series, Lwaxana Troi in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, and the voice of the computer in those two shows as well as Voyager. She would also go on to marry Gene Roddenberry.
