Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part I (1966)
Season 1, Episode 11
8/10
Clever use of the original pilot episode
6 March 2021
Spock takes control of the Enterprise for a personal mission.

I enjoyed this one for the great use of the original pilot episode as part of a different story.

The plot, as other reviewers have stated, does have more holes than a Swiss cheese, but it's very entertaining nonetheless.

This first part includes a compelling sequence involving Spock's seizure of the Enterprise and a look back at some of the best parts of The Cage. Yes, it's a clip show Jim, but not as we know it.

All the characters moments involving Kirk, Spock and Bones are excellent. Even little touches, such as Uhura's reaction to the events unfolding are very well done.

Leonard Nimoy is the star of this one and he carries it fantastically well, but William Shatner, DeForest Kelley and in particular guest actor Michael Throne also make great contributions.
